It's slow fashion, it's soulful, and it's always serving looks. Ready to rock the past with a fresh twist? Let’s glow up together. 

The Art of Chikankari Embroidery 

Okay fam, let’s talk about one of the biggest hidden gems in desi fashion: Chikankari embroidery.  If you’ve never heard of it (no shame), here’s the glow-up: this handcrafted art has been around since the 3rd century. Yeah, it's ancient and iconic. The word’s got Persian roots: “chikan” means embroidery, and “kaari” means craftsmanship. Put 'em together, and boom, you’ve got elegance stitched into every thread.

This isn’t your basic embroidery, by the way. The process is pure magic. First, artisans carve fire designs into wooden blocks, stamp them onto the fabric like a blueprint, and then go in with hand-stitching skills that are next level.  Once the stitching’s done, they wash off the print, and all you’re left with is vibe central, delicate florals, paisleys, vines, and Mughal inspo that gives rich energy. 

And let’s not forget the stitch game, it’s stacked. We're talking over 32 different types like Jaala, Phanda, Tepchi, Murri, and Bakhia. Each one brings its texture and energy. Some are about those clean, minimal lines, while others add major drama and luxe feels. No two pieces are the same, and that’s what makes Lucknowi chikan so legendary. 

Now, enter Kisakari, your go-to for flipping this heritage into something totally new. We’re not here to gatekeep culture, we’re here to serve handcrafted realness in silhouettes you can actually wear day to night. Our vibe? Fusing old-school artistry with modern cuts that are perfect for brunch, the gram, or even low-key shaadi season fits.  

So if you’re tryna level up your wardrobe with pieces that slay and tell a story, Kisakari’s Chikankari is it. We're repping tradition, but make it fashion.  Whether you’re into soft-girl aesthetics, vintage-core, or just want something timeless, the drip that keeps it classy and conscious. Let’s keep that legacy thriving, one stitch at a time.

Preserving the Craft of Chikankari Embroidery  

Ever thought about the real ones behind the drip we love? Chikankari ain’t just a vibe, it’s a whole cultural treasure passed down through generations. But here’s the tea: fewer people are picking it up because it takes mad time and skill to master. And with fast fashion flooding the scene, machine-made knockoffs are taking over. 

Artisans face challenges like low pay, harsh working conditions, and a lack of resources, so when you choose authentic Chikankari clothing, you’re supporting those who pour their heart and soul into every piece, helping keep the tradition alive, fam. 

At Kisakari, we live and breathe that slow fashion life. Each creation is handcrafted by skilled women from rural India, flexing their generational craft. This isn’t just fashion, it’s a whole movement. We’re bringing heritage into the now, one piece at a time.
