A Legacy Stitched in Time: The History of Chikankari
Chikankari dates back to the Mughal era, believed to have been introduced by Empress Noor Jahan. What started as a royal embroidery technique has now become synonymous with Lucknow’s cultural identity. Each stitch tells a story of tradition, patience, and precision, a heritage that Saman Emporio passionately upholds.

🔹 Phanda & Murri – Tiny knots that give a pearl-like finish.
🔹 Keel Kangan & Jaali Work – Intricate openwork patterns that add breathability to the fabric.
At Saman Emporio, artisans spend weeks to months perfecting each piece, ensuring no two outfits are exactly alike.
