An Heirloom Atelier ยท Est. Lucknow

HOA Handcrafted
Chikankari

Hand-embroidered in Lucknow over six quiet weeks. Worn by the women who carry the craft forward.

The House

A four-hundred-year tradition, reimagined for the women who carry it forward.

Every Adaakari piece is a slow conversation between fabric and hand โ€” weeks of butidaar, jaali and murri stitches, drawn from patterns first sketched in the courts of Awadh. We keep the craft, we trust your taste.

Artisan hands embroidering chikankari

The Craft

Six weeks. Two hands. One quiet poem.

Chikankaari, named for the Persian chikan meaning fine embroidery, arrived in Lucknow in the 17th century. Each Adaakari piece passes through the hands of three to seven karigars โ€” a block-printer, a needlewoman, a finisher โ€” over four to six weeks.
