Preserving Craftsmanship: Hand embroidery is an age-old craft that requires immense skill and patience. Each piece is a labor of love, showcasing the artisan’s expertise and creativity. By choosing hand-embroidered garments, we honor and preserve this craftsmanship, ensuring that these traditional techniques are passed down through generations.

Empowering Artisans: Hand embroidery provides livelihoods to thousands of artisans, many of whom are women working from their homes. This craft offers them financial independence and a sense of pride in their work. At Libaas e Lucknow, we are committed to supporting these artisans by providing fair wages and a platform to showcase their skills.

Promoting Sustainability: Fast fashion often comes at a high environmental cost, with mass production leading to excessive waste and pollution. Hand-embroidered garments, on the other hand, are made with care and attention to detail, resulting in high-quality pieces that are built to last. By investing in hand-embroidered clothing, we promote sustainable fashion and reduce our environmental footprint.

Unique and Timeless Pieces: Hand-embroidered garments are unique, with no two pieces being exactly alike. The intricate designs and craftsmanship make them timeless additions to any wardrobe. Unlike mass-produced clothing, hand-embroidered pieces tell a story and hold a special place in the wearer’s heart.

Cultural Heritage: Hand embroidery is deeply rooted in cultural traditions and reflects the rich heritage of a region. Chikankari, in particular, is an integral part of Lucknow’s cultural identity. By supporting hand embroidery, we celebrate and preserve this cultural heritage, keeping it alive for future generations.
