Founded in 2020 during the pandemic by best friends Sanaullah and Shahnara Siddiqui, Poshak Chikan Studio has quickly become a beacon of authenticity in the world of Lucknowi chikankari. The duo, who started the venture as teenagers, were driven by a desire to preserve the traditional craft amidst a rising trend of machine-made imitations being falsely sold as handmade.
Specializing in 100% handmade chikankari, Poshak has grown into a leading brand, employing local artisans and educating customers on the importance of authentic craftsmanship. Their Instagram platform, with over 300,000 followers, serves as an educational tool, exposing fake chikankari sold by larger brands. Recently, Sanaullah and Shahnara shared their inspiring journey at the Ekumbh event, reinforcing their commitment to preserving this cultural heritage.
Poshak continues to thrive by staying true to its values and supporting the artisans who rely on this craft.
