By Authentic Lucknow chikankari is exquisitely beautiful, intricately designed, and hard to come by. The chikan embroidery technique is originally from Lucknow, delicate and artfully done hand embroidery on a variety of fabrics, and traditionally looks best on white or pastel fabrics, although it’s evolved to contemporary fashion trends as well. If you’re looking to buy some chikan kurtas or suits for the upcoming summer months, we highly recommend these 5 stores that are stocking the best chikan on the market!
