Experience the timeless beauty of chikankari. This art form encompasses a wide range of embroidery stitches, with the Tepchi or Tipkhi work being a crowd favorite. Considered the foundation of chikankari, this type of embroidery is similar to darning but requires great effort, skill, time, and above all, the patience of a skilled kaarigar.
This chikankari saree combines multi-colored thread and tepchi stitching inspired by Lucknow's royal love for Jamdani. The kaarigars' innovation resulted in an easily reproducible technique, making these garments accessible and popular.
It's remarkable how just a simple stitching method like mending creates an opportunity for such a stunning art form.
This saree is seriously stunning! It's lightweight, in a classic black hue, and features vibrant multi-colored thread work. Measuring 6.5 meters, it also comes with a blouse piece.
