The Artisans Behind NAQSH – Preserving Lucknow’s Legacy

At the heart of NAQSH, lies the unmatched skill of the Chikankari artisans of Lucknow — the true custodians of a centuries-old craft. Passed down through generations, their intricate hand embroidery brings life to every piece we create. These artisans, mostly of whom, are women working from their homes, blend tradition with delicate artistry to produce timeless elegance.

Our vision at NAQSH goes beyond fashion — we are committed to empowering these artisans by providing them with fair wages, consistent work, and the recognition they deserve. We aim to build a sustainable ecosystem where their talent is valued and their craft is preserved for future generations.

Every stitch in NAQSH is a tribute to their artistry, their resilience, and our shared goal of keeping the soul of Lucknow’s heritage alive.

When you buy from us, you are contributing to our endeavour of providing the livelihood of these artisans, supporting their families & giving them a little of the thing they need the most in their lives - HAPPINESS !
