Gazala Shaikh & The Legacy of Lucknowi Karigari

At Lucknowi Karigari, we take pride in celebrating India’s rich artistic heritage through the timeless crafts of Chikankari clothing and Meenakari jewelry. Founded by Gazala Shaikh, our brand is dedicated to preserving these exquisite art forms while empowering the skilled artisans who keep them alive.

The Art of Chikankari

Lucknowi Karigari was founded by Gazala Shaikh with a heartfelt mission—to preserve India’s age-old craftsmanship and empower the skilled hands behind it.

At the heart of our brand lies the timeless art of Chikankari—an ancient embroidery tradition that reflects the richness of Indian culture. Every thread tells a story, every motif carries legacy, and every garment represents the dedication of artisans who have inherited this craft through generations.

Gazala’s vision goes beyond fashion. She believes in creating a platform where handcrafted work is celebrated, not forgotten. By supporting small businesses and local artisans, Lucknowi Karigari aims to give these craftsmen the recognition and livelihood they truly deserve.

We take pride in offering authentic, hand-embroidered pieces that are not only beautiful to wear but meaningful to own. Through our work, we hope to keep the spirit of Indian craftsmanship alive and help it find a place on wardrobes—and runways—around the world.

Because when you wear Lucknowi Karigari, you don’t just wear a kurti—you wear a piece of heritage, a symbol of empowerment, and the pride of India.
