Details

Ethereally lightweight and sheer, this daffodil-yellow paisley shawl from Uma Tripathi features chikankari, or hand embroidery of a style originating in Lucknow. In chikankari, the fabric is first block-printed with the desired pattern, and then the design is embroidered by hand over the printed areas. The artisan further adorns the cotton and silk blend wrap with kamadani, in which flat gold or silver metallic wire is used to create small dots or floral motifs. The ends of the shawl are crocheted by hand.

“Beautiful Scarf”

The scarf is beautiful—slightly different color than whats in the picture (a much darker gray color), but the material is lovely.

“LOVELY to wear.”

I bought one similar to this for my daughters wedding and it wound up on her shoulders that evening, so I got this one to replace it. As I live in the Australian tropics, its a great, all year wrap and will get miles of use. Elegant, soft and useful garment.

Preserving Traditions

Revered since the time of the Mughal emperors, chikankari is a unique style of Indian embroidery with 32 variations. It demands great skill and patience. Uma learned this art from her mother and today she teaches chikankari embroidery to her helpers, who in turn often teach it to their daughters.

Job Creator

Uma has a workshop that provides full-time jobs for several women. She also works with women artisans in neighboring villages. They work from home, enabling them to care for their children and families.

Enabling Education

Deeply committed to women's empowerment, Uma helps to provide for the education of her four nieces.
