Lucknow's Chikankari has deservedly become globally renowned, so much so that non-locals, fashion industry moguls and celebrities alike seek its grace. A trademark symbol of Awadh, the GI-tagged rich art is admired across all ethnicities for its delicate, intricate embroidery.

While numerous indigenous brands are working to keep the age-old art alive, one of the biggest Chikankari-only labels in the city, ADA Designer Chikan Studio is beloved of fashion mongers. Patrons return to the 18-year-old Ada time and again, and for a good reason!

But it's not just the fans, Ada Chikan has been known to host tons of Bollywood celebrities and eminent personalities throughout the years. Don't believe us? Take a look!

A Chikankari doyen in the prosperous modern fashion industry of Lucknow, Ada Chikan is known for supporting a large network of talented local craftworkers and artisans.

Started in 2005, the brand's vision is simple yet poetic — curating the craft of Lucknow Chikan and exhibiting it on a global scale. It's continued success is owed to its production of a slew of authentic handcrafted Indian textiles, showcased in all colours, with a tremendous range in their designs.
