Hand Embroidery, Stitches & Fabrics

Traditional Lucknowi Chikankari is hand-embroidered by artisans on wooden frames (addas). It features natural needlework variations, embossed knotting (Murri/Phanda), and opaque shadow-work (Bakhiya) on the reverse side, unlike uniform machine stitching.
Our artisans specialize in classical stitches, including flat needlework (Tepchi, Bakhiya), embossed knotting (Phanda, Murri, Ghaspatti), open-lattice work (Jaali, Hool, Zanzeer), and traditional metallic embellishments (Mukaish, Badla, Kamdani & Gota Patti).
We work on quality-tested, pre-shrunk fabrics including Viscose Georgette, Mulmul Cotton, Modal, Muslin, Chanderi Silk, Tissue Organza, and Tussar Silk blends.
Production lead time depends on stitch density: everyday kurtis generally take 7 to 15 days, while heavier festive panels and intricate jaal sarees typically require 30 to 60 days of hand needlework.
