My latest post is all about Chikankari. This is a famous thread work from Lucknow and is known worldwide for it’s elan and elegance. Chikankari is a form of hand embroidery done by the artisans of India to produce beautiful textiles and fabrics. It is a technique of surface ornamentation and is hugely worn during the summer season.

Chikan has even invaded our fashion weeks and Manish Malhotra uses it extensively in his creations. From pure white on white, the thread form has expanded to pastel and darker shades. The fun is wearing the handwork on pink, blue, lemon, orange and even black base. I have designed chikan suits in Chanderi, georgette to our preferred cottons. My collection of Lucknowi chikan designer suits is available at Gyans Saket and at famous exhibitions. I also sell chikan suits online. You can contact me at t4tanya@gmail.com for beautiful chikankari fabrics, full suits, Lucknowi chikan kurtas, dupattas, palazzos and churidaars. It’ll be nice to hear from you.

My favourite summers are here and so is the time to flaunt this beautiful thread form from office wear to evening dinners. The lightness of the fabric, sheerness of the dupattas and the riot of thread colors- all this makes Chikan such a pleasing and elegant wear. Let’s expresso beautiful Lucknowi Chikankari this summer. We hope you enjoyed our collection of Chikankari Kurtas.
