Mool Manjari
Stitched together with love, labour and a lifetime of passion.
Manjari began with Shalini Mishra’s love for Lucknow and the hand embroidery she grew up around. In this city, Chikankari is not just decoration. It is patient work, careful hands, and a craft passed from one generation to the next.
Every Manjari piece is made with this feeling. We choose soft fabrics, graceful colours, and fine stitches that do not need to be loud. Our hope is simple: to keep Lucknow’s craft alive, and to make it easy for today’s woman to wear it with pride.
From Lucknow, by hand
Kala Manjari
The Hands That Empower Manjari
Behind every Manjari piece is an artisan who works slowly, stitch by stitch. This is not factory work: good Chikankari cannot be rushed. Here is how each piece comes to life.
-
01
Naksha
The Design
Every piece begins as a hand-drawn pattern: flowers, vines and paisleys sketched for the fabric.
-
02
Chappa
Block Printing
The pattern is carved into wooden blocks and printed onto the fabric in a washable ink, as a guide for the needle.
-
03
Kadhai
Hand Embroidery
Artisans stitch the design by hand: bakhia, murri, phanda, jaali and more. A single piece can take days or weeks.
-
04
Dhulai
Washing
The piece is washed to remove every trace of the printed outline, leaving only the thread work.
-
05
Taiyari
Finishing
Starched, pressed and checked by hand, it is ready to be worn, and to become yours.

Gifted it to my mother — she was in tears
Bought the organza silk saree as a Diwali gift for my mother. She said it reminded her of the sarees her mother used to wear. The chikankari border is so intricate. Will definitely be ordering again before the wedding season.
