The Art of Chikankari
Chikankari is one of India's most beloved embroidery traditions, born in the royal courts of Lucknow over 400 years ago. Each piece from Aavaran Sutra is the result of hours of painstaking handwork by skilled artisans — mostly women — who have inherited this craft through generations of their families.
Using delicate needlework on breathable fabrics like modal, chanderi, and muslin, our artisans bring to life intricate floral motifs, trailing vines, and geometric patterns — each stitch a quiet act of devotion. No two pieces are exactly alike.
When you wear Aavaran Sutra, you carry a piece of living heritage.
