1. How did you stumble upon the idea of incepting House Of Kari?

We started House Of Kari to honour an age-old craft of chikankari. The embroidery has been around for over 400 years and is believed to have originated in the Mughal era. It was a way for the royals to adorn their clothing with delicate floral and geometric designs. Nowadays, chikankari is again getting popular among the people because of constant innovation in the craft. We have always been fascinated by the intricate designs and the stories behind each stitch, thus, we wanted to create a brand that not only showcased the beauty of chikankari but also supported the artisans who create these stunning pieces.
