Traditional Sitara / Sequin Hand Embroidery from Lucknow.

The Luminous Craft of Sitara & SEQUIN EMBROIDERY

Hand-Embroidered Sequins Crafted in Lucknow

Sitara and Sequin embroidery is a decorative hand embroidery technique in which small metallic or reflective pieces are carefully attached to fabric to create shimmer, movement, texture, and visual depth. Depending on the design, sequins can be arranged individually, in rows, scattered patterns, floral motifs, borders, jaals, or denser embroidered surfaces.

In Lucknow, Sitara and Sequin work is often combined with other traditional embroidery techniques such as Zardozi, Zari, Resham, Cutdana, beadwork, and Pearl or Moti work. Skilled artisans use these combinations to create detailed bridal lehengas, sarees, dupattas, gowns, blouses, shararas, couture panels, and designer garments. The direction, spacing, density, and placement of each element can be adapted to create anything from subtle sparkle to rich festive embellishment.

At Awadh Karigiri, we develop custom Sitara and Sequin hand embroidery according to the buyer’s artwork, fabric, colour palette, garment design, and required level of detailing. Our Lucknow-based craftsmanship supports boutiques, designers, fashion labels, bridal businesses, garment manufacturers, and B2B buyers looking for customised samples and larger production requirements.
