History & Making:
Chikankari, one of India’s most celebrated hand embroidery techniques, dates back to the Mughal era, with its origins in the city of Lucknow. Legend has it that the art was introduced by Empress Noor Jahan, known for her impeccable taste in fashion and design. Over centuries, this intricate craft has evolved, blending traditional floral and paisley motifs with modern patterns. The making of a Chikankari saree is a meticulous process. Skilled artisans, often working in groups, begin by block printing the design on the fabric using washable ink. The embroidery, featuring over 32 distinct stitches, is then done by hand, with utmost precision. Sequins and tassels are added as finishing touches, infusing the saree with a contemporary charm while preserving its traditional roots. Each piece is a testament to the artisan's patience, expertise, and dedication, making every saree a unique work of art.
