Embrace the Uniqueness & Comfort of Cotton Chikankari Kurta from Jaypore
The tale of Chikankari has reached the far-reaching corners of the world today. What began as an intricate form of embroidery soon became a legend that was once sewn only for the royalties. Chikankari, known for its subtly opulent embroidery, originated in the city of Nawab, Lucknow. The motifs of the craft are inspired by the Mughal or Persian art and architecture. The patterns of leaves, buttons, petals, and flowers are prominent, becoming a distinguished feature of the craft. While originally created using white threads on muslin, it has evolved to accommodate more contemporary styles along with traditional techniques. In the present day, embroidery is done using coloured threads on various kinds of fabrics.
Curating a collection of cotton Chikankari kurtas for Jaypore has been a journey that was steeped in culture and joy. These men’s kurtas, made from the finest premium cotton, are crafted with intricate Chikankari embroidery featuring distinct motifs. From pristine white to soft pastel, these kurtas exude grace and regalness.
History of Chikankari
There is some ambiguity regarding the origins of the craft. Many believe that it originated in the third century in India. However, the widely accepted origin story is that of Noor Jehan. Noor Jehan was the wife of Mughal Emperor Jahangir. It is believed that when she travelled to the city of Lucknow in the sixteenth century, she brought with her the embroidery craft of Chikankari. Under her royal patronage, the craft grew in popularity and was adorned by the royal households. This popularity was further fueled when the Nawabs of Awadh, after coming to power, promoted it far and wide.
While the story of Chikankari is fascinating, the story of the kurta is equally captivating. Like Chikankari, the kurta was created by the Persians. They named it “Verbena”, and it resembled a long collarless shirt. It had slits on both sides and was worn by men and women. It was around the second century that it reached India. While it gradually started blending with the local attires, it was only during the Mughal reign that it was popularized. They adopted it as their royal garment and wore it extensively, giving rise to some of the most iconic styles that we know today, such as the Anarkali, Farshi, and more. Today, the kurta is worn widely across various parts of the country, making it one of the prominent traditions.

Style Tips for Chikankari Kurtas
Chikankari kurtas are themselves an enchanting attire. Which makes you effortlessly style your way. All you need is a bit of coordinating your garments with other clothing pieces that you are wearing. Let us take a look at some of the essential style tips:
- A kurta deserves a matching bottom. Pairing a matching bottom will enhance your overall appeal, making you look refined.
- Just like your bottom wear, you need matching footwear as well. You can wear a jutti, sandals, mojri, or Kohlapuri with your kurta. You can choose from Jaypore’s wide range of footwear that is crafted using the traditional method.
- Attention to detail can greatly elevate your appearance. Adding a brooch, cufflink, or button can make you look elegant and refined.
- A layered look often adds visual depth to your look. You can layer your kurta with a dupatta or a shawl. However, make sure to add a matching one.
Care Tips for Cotton Chikankari Kurta
Caring for your Chikankari kurta is no different than caring for your other men’s clothing. If you take care of them, it will ensure their longevity and sparkling condition. Let us take a look at some of the essential care tips that you can follow:
- While cotton can withstand daily rigour, you should wash it gently with your hand. This is so that these kurtas contain delicate embroidery, which can be damaged if the machine is washed.
- Never use any harsh or abrasive chemicals on them. This includes fragrance as well. This will avoid damaging the fabric or discolouration.
- For stain removal, use a moist, soft and clean cloth to rub it off. Do so gently to avoid any damage.
- Never dry them under direct sunlight or use a hot iron. Exposing them to high heat can cause discolouration or damage.
- Any light-coloured kurta, especially white cotton Chikankari kurta, must be washed separately from other garments. This is to prevent the kurtas from catching colour from other garments.
