The Making Process

Creating each Chikankari outfit is a detailed journey involving four key steps:

  1. Design & Tracing (Chapai)
    A unique design is hand-drawn, then traced using chalk or indigo to create intricate patterns on the fabric.
  2. Hand Embroidery (Kadai)
    Skilled artisans use fine threads and traditional stitches like Bakhiya, Phanda, Murri, and Jaali. Each piece takes hours – sometimes days – to complete with precision.
  3. Washing & Finishing (Dhulai)
    After embroidery, the fabric is gently washed, sun-dried, and finished to enhance its texture and detailing.
  4. Tailoring & Quality Check (Silai & Jaanch)
    Finally, the fabric is tailored into beautiful kurtas, sets, or tops and carefully checked to ensure the best quality reaches you.
