Black Chikankari Short Kurta – Nawabi Summer

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

Rendered in a deep, versatile black, this short kurta is brought to life by skilled artisans who hand-embroider each Chikankari motif in a craft passed down through generations of Lucknow's karigars. The contrast of fine thread on dark cloth makes every stitch stand out in sharp, delicate relief. It's cut from a soft, everyday cotton that breathes well and stays fuss-free wash after wash.

The relaxed, easy silhouette is cropped shorter for everyday versatility — as comfortable over your favourite jeans as it is over a simple pair of leggings.

Pair it with statement earrings and kolhapuris for a look that feels put-together without trying too hard, or layer a long jacket over it for cooler evenings — 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.
