Chikankari Suits

The Poetry of Thread: Why a Chikankari Suit is a Timeless Classic

The credit for the Chikankari work goes to ancient traces, the Mughal era, and the city of Nawabs. The Chikankari suits address more than just a beauty or a fashion statement. It is an embroidery for those who value slow fashion and embrace cotton, linen, and silk salwar kameez for their daily wear, office parties, and sangeet nights. The traditional fashion is somehow incomplete without the mention of the old-school Chikankari craft. KALKI Fashion brings the exquisite craftsmanship, the jaali effect, bakhiya (shadow work), and other vintage aesthetics to life through the Chikankari suits collection.
