About
Nazaqat Chikankari
The House of Chikankari
At Nazakat, we bring you the timeless art of Lucknowi Chikankari, crafted with passion and precision. From humble beginnings as a nomadic brand showcasing handmade products at exhibitions across India, Nazakat has blossomed into a name synonymous with elegance, heritage, and authenticity.
Founded by Mrs. Ritu Arora in 2016, Nazakat made its debut at the Virasat Dehradun exhibition, where its exquisite hand-embroidered pieces captured the hearts of many. This marked the beginning of a beautiful journey where every product narrated a story of tradition, artistry, and grace.
Our Journey
From Palampur in Himachal Pradesh to the bustling cities of Hyderabad, Pune, and Amritsar, and even down south to Trivandrum, Thrissur, and Kottayam, Nazakat has taken authentic Lucknowi Chikankari to every corner of India. Each piece in our collection is a labor of love, crafted by skilled artisans who have mastered the art of Chikankari over generations.
Nazakat’s journey is beautifully summed up in the phrase:
“Akele chale thay aur kafila banta gaya.”
(“We started alone, and a community followed.”) This reflects our growth, fueled by the trust and loyalty of our customers who appreciate the authenticity and elegance of our work.
Our Vision
At Nazakat, our vision is to bring the beauty of Chikankari embroidery to the modern world while supporting the talented artisans behind this incredible craft. We aim to be a bridge between tradition and contemporary fashion, offering our customers a piece of cultural heritage with every purchase.
