Chikankari, an age-old craft originating from the royal city of Lucknow in India, has been adorning wardrobes with its intricate embroidery for centuries.
The delicate and exquisite handiwork involved in creating Chikankari garments is a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen.
During my visit to Lucknow in 2017, I bought my first chikankari kurta, and each time I wore it, I would get the nicest compliments. It felt really great!
Fast forward to now, I got the opportunity to collaborate with the House of Chikankari. It’s clear they have soared to new heights in popularity, thanks to their brilliant work and their impressive stint on “Shark Tank Season 2”.

Chikenkari and mulmul are my favourite combination. The prints from this brand are unique and beautiful
Oh my I was going to get the red one like the one you’re wearing but it was out of stock. I love your blue too but I had one of that colour so wanted the red.
Chikankari is one of those crafts where machine made stitches are difficult to distinguish from hand embroidery. More often than not buyers get fleeced by buying machinemade for handmade. I shall surely try House of Chikankari for an authentic piece next festival season!
I really love chikankari apparel, and these three selections look really stunning. My pick of the lot, however would be, the Mulmul Straight Kurta. Sandy N Vyjay
I love Chikankari and these look so good and really affordable!
Your post’s timing is perfect! I was contemplating unique gift ideas for a friend, and after reading your post, I am convinced that I’ll choose the Hiyat Chikankari Kota Straight Kurta with Inner. Thank you once again for the delightful recommendation.
Loved each of your selection, these looked so classy and elegant. I love Chikankari as they represent a rich and elegant look and easy to carry in every occasion. Nuha chikankari looks so good , vibrant. I would love to explore Jouse of Chikankari someday.
Good chikan work is always on the heavier price side , so I wouldn’t mind shelling out around 3 K for these beauties! Big fan of chikan here… husband did his MBBS from Lucknow, so especially connected to this city and its chikankari tradition.
I loved all of them. I am from Lucknow and somehow I do not have any chicken kurta in my collection. I will check their collection.
It seems like, God is sending me this message to finally buy Chikankari Outfit for myself from house of Chikankari. I saw the promo of this brand long back, when I was planning to buy for myself and somehow forgot to purchase. This blog is reminder of my desire list. Love the outfits you showcased
