The woman behind it

Razia Begum

Chikankari embroidery · Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

In a sunlit haveli in old Lucknow, Razia translates the city's poetry into thread. Her chikankari is prized for its phanda and jaali stitches — invisible knots that take years to master.

What buyers say.

So elegant

The detail is unreal for the price. Fits perfectly.
