Chikankari Kurti in Canada
Why settle for mass-produced ethnic wear when you can own a piece embroidered by hand in the lanes of Lucknow?
A chikankari kurti is more than a garment; it's a small fragment of Indian craft history, and we deliver it right to your home across Canada. From Toronto to Vancouver, our pieces have found their way into wardrobes that value craftsmanship over trend cycles.
At House of Chikankari, we work with 10,000+ artisans across India to keep this 400-year-old craft alive, one stitch at a time.
What Makes Our Chikankari Kurta Collection Special
Our chikankari kurtaas aren’t stitched overnight. Each piece moves through the hands of several skilled artisans before it reaches you, and that care is what you wear.

-
Hand-done embroidery across 32 traditional stitches, each adding its own depth and texture to the fabric

Styling a Chikankari Embroidery Kurti for Canadian Days
Canada's weather demands layering, and a good chikankari embroidery kurti lets you do that without sacrificing the embroidery's elegance. Try these looks:
-
Throw a denim jacket or wool shrug over a long kurta from our Long Kurtis edit for brisk spring and autumn days.
-
Pair a printed or solid piece from our Mulmul Chikankari collection with ankle-length pants and loafers for a workday look.
-
For Diwali, Eid, or community gatherings, a 3-piece set from our Chikankari Kurta Sets with a complementary dupatta keeps things traditional yet fresh.
