THE STORY
There's that anchor piece in every summer closet. Ours is a chikankari kurta. Versatile and flattering, whether you want to give it a true-blue traditional spin or mix it up with contemporary separates, this elegant threadwork is an investment of all times. Retaining the original white-on-white style, Jaypore's newest capsule presents the timeless chikankari as easy daywear that transitions effortlessly for the evening.
It's easy to slip on a chikankari kurta but, twice the effort and time to make one. Traditionally there are six basic stitches and over 35 others such as bijli, jaali, tepchi, bakhiya and more, which are used in various combinations depending on the motif being embroidered.
