This versatility means that your Chikankari dress can take you from a morning brunch with friends to an evening gala effortlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Shwet Artistry pieces feel different from other Chikankari?
Because no needle here hums on a machine. One Lucknow craftswoman takes a single fabric panel from first knot to last, letting Bakhiya, Murri, and Phanda stitches flow like handwriting. Premium organic cotton or silk, low-impact dyes, and museum-grade motifs create a quietly luxurious drape that mass embroidery simply can’t mimic.
ChickenkariHow long will delivery actually take?
We won’t promise overnight miracles—authentic craft deserves patience. Each ready piece is steam-pressed, QR-tagged, and ships within 48-72 hours; Blue Dart or Delhivery typically reaches metros in five business days and smaller towns in six to eight. International DHL Express parcels arrive in seven to ten working days, customs permitting.
ChickenkariCan I request custom colours or motifs?
Yes, but only for bulk orders of 10 or more pieces. Our artisans must re-frame wooden addas and chart fresh stitch maps, a process that needs up to 12 weeks from approval to dispatch. For weddings, resorts, or corporate gifting, email support@shwetartistry.com with mood boards, quantities, and deadline, and a design liaison will guide every step.
ChickenkariWhat impact does my purchase have on artisans’ lives?
Thirteen percent of every sale funds Nari Pahal—monthly stipends, health camps, and digital-savings accounts for 1,200 rural women. The balance pays fair wages that exceed state minimums by 27 percent. When Meera in Barabanki finishes your kurta, she also earns school fees for her daughter. That’s luxury with a heartbeat.
ChickenkariWhy do similar-looking designs vary in price?
Stitch density, motif complexity, and fabric grade determine cost. A 150 000-stitch Murri yoke on mulberry silk can take 240 artisan hours—triple that of a lighter Tepchi cotton panel. We publish estimated stitch counts and labour hours on every product page so you see exactly where each rupee goes.
ChickenkariHow should I care for such intricate embroidery?
Hand-wash separately in cold water with pH-neutral soap; do not soak. Blot gently, reshape, and dry flat in shade. Iron on the reverse under a cotton cloth. Store folded inside our breathable neem-infused muslin pouch. Follow these rituals and your Chikankari will outlive fashion cycles—and maybe even you.
ChickenkariI’m between sizes—what’s the safest option?
Select the larger size and add your bust, waist, and shoulder in checkout notes. Our tailoring desk trims side seams or adjusts darts gratis without touching embroidery. Exchanges remain fuss-free: notify us within seven days, and we’ll arrange a prepaid pickup anywhere in India; global clients receive discounted return labels.
ChickenkariAre your fabrics genuinely eco-friendly and luxurious?
Yes. We use GOTS-certified organic cotton, Chanderi silk hand-loomed in Madhya Pradesh, and LENZING™ modal. Dyes run in closed-loop vats recycling 87 percent of water, and off-cuts become hair scrunchies donated to girls’ schools. Elegance here isn’t loud—it's conscious, breathable, and traceably clean.
ChickenkariWhat makes Shwet Artistry an ideal gift?
Each piece arrives in a recycled-board white box lined with acid-free tissue and subtle mogra fragrance. Inside rests a story card introducing the artisan and a silver-edged blank note for your message. It’s luxury that narrates its origins—so the recipient unwraps beauty, heritage, and human connection in one gentle gesture.
ChickenkariHow can I be sure the embroidery is genuinely handmade?
True hand Chikankari leaves subtle clues: slightly uneven yet rhythmic needle holes on the fabric back, tiny knots instead of melted thread ends, and minute variations in identical motifs—machines can’t mimic that organic cadence. Each garment also carries the official Lucknow GI hologram and our signed authenticity card, so you can trust the craft without needing fancy tech.
