Collection: Muslin

Muslin Chikankari Tops and Kurta SetsMuslin chikankari pairs one of the finest, lightest cotton weaves with Lucknow's hand embroidery, which is why it has long been the classic choice for hot weather. Muslin is loosely woven and breathable, so it lets air through on the warmest days and softens with every wash.At Karicraft, every muslin piece is hand-embroidered in Lucknow by our karigars, with no machine work. The fine weave lets the embroidery show its texture, so even a simple top carries real detail.Pieces in this editPeony Pastel Pink Bell Sleeve Chikankari Top: soft pink with bell sleeves, easy over trousers or denim.Wildflower Ivory Chikankari Top: ivory muslin with multicolour thread work.Cloud Ivory Relaxed-Fit Chikankari Top: a boxy, relaxed shape for long summer days.Daybreak Pastel Yellow Muslin Chikankari Kurta Set: a matching set for days you want to be dressed in one step.How to wear muslin chikankariWear the tops with tailored trousers for the office and with denim at the weekend; the kurta set works on its own from a morning meeting to dinner.
