Black Chikankari Short Kurta – Nawabi Summer

From the Nawabi Summer collection — a tribute to the timeless artistry of Lucknow.

Set in a classic, versatile black, this short kurta lets the hand-embroidered Chikankari work take centre stage — fine threadwork created by skilled artisans in a tradition passed down through generations. Every motif is worked by hand, so the pattern has a subtle texture you can trace with your fingers. The base fabric is a soft, breathable cotton that's easy-care and made for everyday comfort.

Its relaxed, easy silhouette is cropped shorter for everyday versatility, working just as well over jeans for a casual day as over leggings for something a little more put-together.

Style it with gold hoops and mojaris for a look that goes from desk to dinner, or keep it minimal with a single pendant and let the embroidery do the talking — because true elegance is always handcrafted, never hurried.

Each piece is individually handcrafted — slight variations in the embroidery are the signature of authentic handwork, making yours truly one of a kind.

Only 1 piece available in this size and colourway.
