Story 

Of picnics and pigtails. Chaat and chips. And jolly belly laughs.

Summer combined handpicked ingredients. Elements that enacted their parts and slipped back into the meat safe, or between backyard whispers. A mix of bulk and just-a-littles, they came together in halves.

The tang of tamarind and the gloss of murabba agreed with freshly laundered, bone-dry clothes. One fortified the other. With unusual candour.  

To this day, she has preserved a similar kind of glee.

She chirps, “It comes with sincerity— an emphatic dependence on aged recipes.”   

Redeem a ticket to summer with our stunning yellow saree made of Kota cotton, featuring hand-embroidered Chikankari work.   

Description

Kota cotton fabric is renowned for its softness, light weight and ease of wear. It is made using an open weave with fine checks, which are called ‘khats’. This weave ensures that the resultant fabric is airy and comfortable. This Kota cotton fabric forms the base of these sarees, which are further embellished with Lucknowi chikankari work. Chikankari is a style of embroidery that has its roots in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. The word 'chikan' is derived from the Persian word 'chikeen'. In its most traditional form, chikankari work reflects the influence of the intricate carving patterns found in Mughal architecture. The legacy of chikan work in Lucknow dates back to more than 200 years.
