LUCKNOWI Handcrafted Chikankari WHOLESALE MANUFACTURING HUB.
Founded in 2013 in historic Chowk, Lucknow, Awadh Karigiri is a primary B2B manufacturer and exporter of genuine handcrafted needlework. We supply high-end designer boutiques, retail chains, and international fashion labels across India, USA, UK, UAE, Australia, Canada, and Europe.
Awadh Karigiri eliminates middle-trader markups by connecting retail curators directly to authentic artisan karkhanas in Lucknow. We manage the entire lifecycle: pure textile sourcing, stenciling, hand needlecraft, azo-free custom vat dyeing, and strict export packaging.

400 YEARS OF Chikankari Heritage
From the royal courts of Awadh to luxury boutiques in New York, London, and Dubai — the journey of Lucknow's most treasured needlecraft.
Mughal Patronage
Chikankari flourishes under Mughal emperors. Empress Nur Jahan is credited with introducing Persian floral motifs and shadow needlecraft to Lucknow's master artisans.
Nawabi Refinement
Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula's court in Lucknow elevates Chikankari into high imperial couture. The 32 distinct stitches are codified, and Chowk becomes the craft's undisputed trade capital.
Craft Survives Upheaval
Despite the dissolution of the royal Awadh court, hereditary artisan families preserve the craft through generations, passing complex knot tensions orally and through disciplined practice.
GI Tag Granted
The Government of India formally grants Chikankari a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, legally establishing Lucknow as the sole authentic point of origin for this craft.
Awadh Karigiri Founded
Established in Chowk, Lucknow with an unyielding mission: connecting generational master karigars to global buyers through quality-first, transparent B2B manufacturing.
Global Export Footprint
Awadh Karigiri supplies luxury boutiques and wholesale importers across India, USA, UK, UAE, Australia, Canada, and Germany — keeping authentic GI craftsmanship alive.
