Chikankari for the Contemporary Wardrobe

Now, let’s see how House of Kari forms the foundation of Chikankari in today’s world.

Reframing Classics into Contemporary

With designer and delicate stitches and shadow-like motifs, the brand is focused on rebuilding the origin of Chikankari. Our Chikankari kurta set collection is available in floral motifs and geometric patterns that elevate the feel of the fabric.

Subtle texture and purely decorative elements, the craft upgrades the design in small, thoughtful ways. Layered with an understated colour palette, the artisanal craft sharpens the softness. For instance, soft, floral motifs on Chikankari modal silk look like poetry of fine fabric.

Wardrobe Staples, Reimagined

The classic silhouettes, which were once only spotted on the streets of Lucknow, are now available in the simplest form. Western or ethnic wear can now be reimagined with a Chikankari kurta set and a Chikankari co-ord set.

Our clothes carry a sense of ease and feel luxurious without feeling heavy. House of Kari’s commitment to add a cultural touch to everyday wear with its authentic, heritage-oriented art. With Chikankari, luxury is long-lasting and builds evolution stitch by stitch.
