The Golden City of the East, the City of Nawabs, Constantinople of India - Lucknow is a city known by many names that reflect its cultural and historic significance.

Chikankari is the art of embroidering fabrics in delicate and subtle patterns and is known for its sophisticated and ethereal look.

Expertly walking the line between tradition and creativity, this range uses classic motifs and patterns along with innovative silhouettes and surprising details. Select pieces feature intricate embroidery done by hand, showcasing the superior skill of chikan artisans. With a luxurious quality that are both subtle and striking, these lucknowi lehengas are perfect for the wedding season - dress to the nines; whether you are just a guest, sister of the bride, or the bride herself!

Lucknowi Lehengas, Lucknowi Chikankari Lehengas: Bringing old school charm to your wardrobe

Chikankari has been around since the 16th century and is said to have been brought to India by the Mughal empress, Noor Jahan. Legend has it that being a proficient embroiderer herself, she fell in love with the Persian chikan work and taught it to artisans in India. With the fall of the Mughal Empire, chikankari artisans spread across the country and many found an inviting home in Lucknow. Since then, the industry has flourished and become synonymous with the city.
