Whether worn at a celebration or given as a treasured gift, this saree is more than attire—it’s a woven legacy.

Timeless Craftsmanship

This Lucknowi Chikankari saree is hand-embroidered using age-old stitches like Bakhiya (shadow work), Phanda (tiny knots), Ghaspatti (grass leaves), Murri, Hool, Pechni, and Jaali (netting). These are not mere decorations—they are the vocabulary of a craft that has flourished since the Mughal period. The Chikankari embroidery is placed strategically across the body and pallu of the saree, creating a poetic, airy design. Added to this is Mukaish work (also called Kaamdani or Badla), where fine metallic wires are painstakingly hand-twisted into tiny dots that twinkle as they catch the light. The result is a saree that sparkles subtly, exuding charm and richness without being loud.

Luxurious Fabric & Rich Color

Pure Georgette, known for its lightness and elegance, forms the base of this saree. The fabric’s airy texture allows the embroidery to stand out while offering comfort and a flattering drape. It’s ideal for all-day wear at celebratory events. The wine hue of the saree adds depth and gravitas—perfect for dusk-to-evening occasions. It complements both warm and cool undertones, offering versatility in styling and accessories. This color is especially suited for weddings, receptions, formal dinners, and festive evenings.

Craft with Heritage

Chikankari is believed to have been introduced to India by Empress Nur Jahan, flourishing in the Mughal courts of Awadh. Over generations, it has evolved into a beloved hand embroidery style, defined by elegance and quiet detail. Mukaish work, also native to the same region, was once reserved for royal attire. This saree brings together these twin heritages into one refined drape.
