Rumi - Handcrafted Chikankari Shirt
Rumi features hand-embroidered panels inspired by the arches of Lucknow's iconic Rumi Darwaza, framing the front closure with a subtle architectural rhythm. Floral Chikankari motifs extend across the front, back, and sleeves in a symmetrical composition influenced by the geometry and ornamentation of the city's Mughal heritage.
This shirt carries the legacy of Chikankari embroidery, a craft that has shaped Lucknow's textile heritage for centuries. Every inch of the garment is embroidered entirely by hand, requiring over 160 hours of meticulous workmanship. Each motif is stitched individually across the fabric using techniques passed down through generations of artisans. The result is not simply decoration, but a garment shaped by time, skill, and craftsmanship.
