After the downfall of the Mughal Empire chikankari artisans spread all over India but Lucknow remained the main centre. The Lucknow chikankari technique involves block printing the design on to cloth using indigo dyes. Then comes the embroidery process with needlework tracing the ink patterns. Available in one classic colourway. (Fabric - Width: 134.5cm, Horizontal Pattern Repeat: 67cm, Vertical Pattern Repeat: 69cm204.00 per metre)
