Gulabi Noor Kurta
Chikankari Details
The embroidery combines delicate Bakhiya (shadow work) with Phanda detailing, creating subtle texture and depth while keeping the overall look refined and monochromatic.
Pair it with matching straight pants for a polished monochrome look, or style it with ivory or white trousers for a softer contrast. Add pearl or delicate jhumka earrings and nude/neutral footwear to keep the Chikankari work at the centre of the look.
• Gentle Hand Wash Recommended: Wash separately in cold water using a mild detergent to preserve the delicate chikankari embroidery.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong detergents, as they can damage the fabric and embroidery threads.
• Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water instead of twisting, to maintain the shape and prevent stress on the stitches.
• Dry in Shade: Air dry in a shaded area to retain the color and prevent fading. Avoid direct sunlight.
• Dry Clean (Optional): For long-lasting finish and special occasions, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
1. Dry Clean Recommended: To maintain the structural sheen of the Banarasi silk.
2. Storage: Store folded in a soft muslin bag or cool, dry cupboard. Avoid wire hangers.
3. Avoid Perfumes: Do not spray perfume directly — alcohol can react with metallic Banarasi zari.
- Each Elaiya garment is meticulously hand-embroidered, and subtle variations in motifs or stitch placement are a natural part of the craft, making every piece truly one of a kind.
- Please note that colours may appear slightly different due to lighting conditions during photography and individual screen display settings.
