Chanderi brings a natural shimmer to Chikankari, making it a fitting choice for pieces that need to feel a touch more elevated than an everyday cotton kurta.
Traditionally woven in Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh, this fabric is known for its light weight and gentle shimmer, which comes from the way the yarn is woven rather than any added finish. That sheen gives hand embroidery a slightly different character than it has on cotton, with the stitches catching the light a little more and adding dimension to the motif.
