Apoorva

Born and brought up in Lucknow, India and with her label based in Mumbai, Apoorva always dreamt of popularizing the renown Lucknowi chikankari embroidery. The city has a long tradition of being the major source of embroidered and hand woven fabrics; chikankari being one of the most intricate and popular forms of embroideries. “I hail from Lucknow and therefore, I have developed the intrinsic ability to identify and choose the right fabric and embroidery for specific looks,” Apoorva states.

The beginning…

“My journey began when one day, I was travelling to Lucknow to buy chikankari outfits which in turn inspired me to take this ancient art by hardworking embroiderers and transform it into western and contemporary silhouettes,” Apoorva muses. Her brand strives to promote and uplift embroiderers who are the true keepers of this traditional art.

ORU

Oru aims at bringing fabrics to life by means of producing the best quality product through superior workmanship. Chikankari has carved a niche for itself due to the quality embroidery and is used in a wide range of apparel; from day-to-day casuals to traditional outfits and special event attires to designer and lifestyle clothing, etc
