Collection: Chikankari from Bengal

The history of Chikankari in Bengal is less documented compared to its well-known association with Lucknow, but it holds a fascinating narrative shaped by cultural exchanges and artistic evolution. 

Did you know majority of written accounts trace the art of chikan embroidery to Bengal and how the artisans migrated later to the cities of Lucknow and Awadh, to take advantage of the courtly patronage of Nawabs. 

The craft of Chikankari endures in a few secluded pockets of rural Bengal, kept alive by a rare handful of artisans who continue to practice it in its most authentic form. This collection is our tribute to the fading craftsmanship that Bengal has preserved for generations, quietly and without glory. A celebration of heritage, artistry, and timeless elegance.
