TIMELESS CRAFTSMANSHIP

The Living Art of Lucknowi Chikankari

Rooted in centuries of authentic needlecraft, Chikankari is a celebration of ethereal lightness and intricate shadow work. Unlike machine prints that fade, every Rivaah kurti is a wearable heirloom that takes weeks of delicate hand-needlework to complete.

The Anatomy of Authentic Hand-Needlework

01

Bakhiya

Shadow Work

Embroidered patiently from the reverse side of fine muslin/georgette, casting an ethereal shadow motif on the front surface.

02

Phanda

Pearl Knots

Small raised spherical knots crafted with surgical precision to resemble lustrous miniature pearls along petals.

03

Murri

Rice Grain Work

Subtle elongated knots that form the center of blossoming floral motifs with rich, tactile texture.

04

Jaali

Lace Openwork

Delicate geometric openwork formed by gently parting warp and weft threads without ever cutting the fabric.
