Chanderi Kurta- Black

A black A-line Kurta adorned with striking Kamdani work from our ‘Exclusive Kamdani’ collection. Dating back to the Mughal times, this embroidery originated in the capital of Uttar Pradesh i.e. Lucknow. It involves twisting thin metallic threads to create patterns all over the fabric. Initially developed for the royalty that resided in the city, it utilised precious metals like gold and silver to weave into the fabric. Kamdani work is a time and labour-intensive craft which is why there are now only a handful of kaarigars/artisans left who are adept at this type of artistry. Each piece in our collection is a fine specimen of the technical know-how of these artisans.
This kurta handwoven in pure Chanderi features spectacular Kamdani leaf motifs on the front and sleeves and tikki work on the neckline and sleeve ends. The neckline is finished with matching potli buttons. In light of the festive season, this remarkable piece will help you make a statement with chic elegance.
The entire kurta is underlined with soft cotton. Pair this kurta with our matching Kota dupatta and Chanderi palazzo for a complete look. Available in standard and made-to measure sizes.
