Chikankari Embroidery of Lucknow - Meet the Artisans | How to Buy Real Chikankari Kurtas?

[@Codetutor-DemystifyCoding]

When she showed the work done by Lakshmi, I was blown away. Indian artisans are the best. Many international brands get their embroidery work done in India, but Indian artists don't get credit.

[@DesiGirlTraveller]

Even I was blown away when I saw that lehenga. The finished product didn’t look like it was done using just a needle and thread.

[@leopardtiger1022]

Taj Mahal decorations on walls is product of Indian artisans. In machine age hand work has lost its popularity. We now live in age of machines gadgets.

[@malathysankar342]

After watching your video now I will not give away my chicken Kari saree and dresses tops I have collected through the years.They are precious and a tribute to workers.

[@lolinsingh668]

I love,love chikankari work. Huge respect for the artisans .

[@Skhan-yi9mw]

Hi DesiGirl Traveller! I normally don't comment on videos but I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for uploading this. I am currently writing an essay about Chikankari for my Fashion Degree and this video was so helpful. I wanted others to also learn about this craft and everything that comes with it. It also helped that you spoke semi English - so thank you for that as well.

[@ivneetkataria4701]

[@Kate-fd5ni]

The original Chikankari style cannot be replicated in Pakistan, I've seen both even in India , thought same too, would be impossible to replicate in Pakistan.

[@S.A.1]

Every time you feature one of these, I can’t wait to start a collection. Thanks for going in depth and bringing out the “art” of India❤

[@MusicalExpedition]

Dear Priyanka! I m glad that you have tapped into an area which no other travel vlogger has, from Kanjivaram, to .. Banarasi silk nd now chikankari. I m confident that with this approach you will definitely be recognized by the government in coming years. Both at states and national level. Good luck !! 😊

[@garimakumar3339]

great initiative taken by you to show this kind of content as I have never seen other creator showcasing or even talking about what goes behind building a stunning outfit. All the efforts and main hardwork has been done by these artisans who don't earn that much, so I believe we should give more credit to these artisans who put so much hardwork into creating these garment

[@Kate-fd5ni]

[@RadhikaKal]

Hi priyanka you have done a great job by showing the hard work the artisans do for a chinkari kurti.i dint know so much time and hardwork is done behind one kurti , definitely by paying amount to artisans is worth for their hardwork and dedication. Appreciate your efforts to reach out to them and showing the world about them or else they are paid less and the someone else is making money. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.

[@DesiGirlTraveller]

My pleasure 😊

[@Eina777]

Thank you 🙏

[@aayutravels5979]

Thanks Priyanka, kudos to you ! Super Super !! You have given the much needed appreciation to these artists ❤️

[@jainsj]

Excellent work to introducing the real chikankari

[@hopefulcynic6556]

That is really hard work.. i had once purchased everything to try to do this embroidery but I couldn't even make a single straight line

[@sakshianand6054]

Thank you for making this video! Please make more videos on exploring lucknow for shopping.

[@madhaviwalinjkar6125]

Very beautiful vedio on chikan Kari work .i like it because they're very decent and their colours are so beautiful.🙏👌👍

[@neelu1006]

What an eye-opener!! Great work.. My only concern is that how much are the artisans paid..

[@urvashib.8873]

Extremely satisfying video. Nice compering..Excellent handwork....❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sanaanjum6647]

MASHA ALLAH Inki mahnat k aage qimat kuch v nhi.

[@p.a.sudhir7951]

What a wonderful vlog!! Thank you Priyankaji for all your time and efforts for showing us different parts of the country in such beautifully edited vlogs.

[@DesiGirlTraveller]

I wish to cover all such artwork of India :)

[@triptihirde9955]

You should have asked about how much an artisan gets for a piece...I'm sure..not even one fourth of the total selling price

[@jignasadesai7406]

Agree! If you have a platform like this, at least try using it for the betterment of these incredible artists. They pour their swat and blood into the products that benefit the sellers!! Such shame..

[@leopardtiger1022]

That is always been like that. How much farmer gets from what you pay for his product??? Middlemen and politicians suck blood they are the parasites. High GST tax is one example.. Who befits from it evident from the way politicians fight to win elections to become minister.

[@nusratzaro152]

Such a beautiful work, enjoyed watching the video

[@DesiGirlTraveller]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@8bitbunbun]

This was such an amazing video! And Lakshmi's work is absolutely incredible! I've always wanted to learn how to do Chikankari myself, and this videos makes me want to learn even more. Thank you for sharing! ♥

[@zubeidahatteea2732]

Really good job Maam Promoting the capability of women although may be they r illiterate Helping them to become independent Keep it up Maam Best of luck

[@sanjivikumarambalavanan1579]

Would there be any GI tagging for Vloggers that can be given to you. Amazing work by our bharathiya artisans. Keep doing the good work

[@poonamsinha7114]

Thankyou so much ma'am for sharing such a wonderful video.really these artisans do a wonderful job.they deserve a hats off.

[@shailjoshi1744]

Compare this handmade garment to machine made garment .To a lay person like me it might look the same . But the hand made one is sheer class . No comaprison . Now I understand why the handmade one is so expensive . With the sheer amount of labour and time involved it is worth every penny .

[@rimanair3007]

Fantastic video! Thanks for highlighting the wonderful artisans.

[@bibiayiesha9717]

Labours ku zyada price nahi milta bus hamesha ki tarah agents ki kamayi zyada hoti hai labours ku bhi zyada kamayi milni chahiye ❤❤
