Authentic Lucknowi Chikankari is crafted by skilled artisans by hand. This means you will often find slight, beautiful irregularities in the stitches—this is the true hallmark of human craftsmanship! Machine-made replicas look artificially flat and perfectly uniform. If you check the reverse side of an authentic hand-embroidered piece from Chikankari Official, you will clearly see the tied-off threads and intricate knotting.
