About Us

At Rakhi apparels we are passionate advocates for authentic Chikankari, a craft that has woven its way into the fabric of my life.

Growing up in the vibrant city of Lucknow, I was immersed in the delicate artistry of Chikankari. The touch of the needle, the intricate patterns, and the stories embedded in each stitch—it all became a part of my soul. But as I ventured beyond my hometown, I realized that this timeless tradition was fading away, lost amidst the hustle of modernity.

And so, Rakhi Apparel was born—a brand with a purpose. Our mission is twofold: to breathe new life into the age-old craft of Chikankari and to create garments that blend tradition with contemporary sensibilities. We believe that every woman, regardless of her background, deserves to wear clothing that reflects her heritage and empowers her spirit.
But Rakhi Apparel is more than just fashion. It’s a movement—a commitment to our local community of kaarigars, most of whom are talented women from rural Lucknow. These artisans pour their hearts into every piece they create, infusing it with love, skill, and generations of wisdom. When you wear a Rakhi Apparel garment, you’re not just wearing fabric; you’re wearing a story—a story of resilience, creativity, and craftsmanship.

In a market flooded with mass-produced imitations, we stand firm. We refuse to compromise on authenticity. Our Chikankari is not churned out by machines; it’s crafted by hands that have inherited the secrets of generations. And yes, it comes at a price—a fair price that honors the labor, the heritage, and the soul poured into each thread.

So, let us create a marketplace where authenticity thrives. Let us celebrate the imperfections—the tiny irregularities that make each piece unique. Let us wear our heritage proudly, knowing that we are supporting not just a brand but an entire ecosystem of artisans.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we will stitch a tapestry of tradition, beauty, and empowerment—one Chikankari masterpiece at a time.
