Chikankari derives its name from the Persian word ‘chakeen’, which means creating delicate patterns on fabric. The signature embroidery is done by hand to create fine details that gives the fabric a dreamy, ethereal quality. Traditionally, chikan work was done with white threads onto white mulmul or soft muslin cloth. However, with the expansion of the industry, the artisans use different fabrics such as georgette, organza, chiffon, silk, tassar, and cotton as well as yarn of pastel shades such as pink, blue, orange, and yellow. For an incredible combination of skillful embroidery and new age fabrics, easily browse our fresh new collection of Kurta Sets For Men online.

Lucknowi Kurtas For Men: Balancing Tradition and Modernity

The understated look of chikankari is achieved due to the immense skill and attention to detail of its artisans. Their craft has been passed down generations and carefully honed over the years. In Lucknow alone, there are over five thousand families keeping the chikankari trade alive with most of these artisans being women. There are designs and motifs particular to each village, which are often inspired by nature and architecture. Thus, it is common to see patterns of lotuses, roses, jasmine creepers, foliage, and leaves along with arches, carvings, and sculptures as seen in Mughal monuments. There are three main categories of stitches - flat stitches, embossed stitches, and jalli stitches. Flat stitches such as taipchi, khatao, pashni, gitti, and jangira are used on the borders and create the outlines for the motifs. The motifs are then filled with embossed stitches such as murri, pechni, and phanda that add texture and depth to the embroidery. The final and most complicated addition is the jalli stitch which gives chikankari the characteristic delicate net effect. Our range of Summer Kurta for Men is the product of the hard work of our artisans and the fashion houses that support them. Shop responsibly with designers that empower craftspeople and follow ethical sourcing and sustainable consumption policies with the complete collections of Nirmooha, Rishi & Vibhuti Men, Rachit Khanna, Kanika Goyal Men, and more only at Pernia’s Pop Up Shop.
