"Celebrating the Fabric of Elegance: A Look into Chikankari Base Fabrics"

At SNAPFAB — The Chikankari Hub, we love Chikankari for the embroidery, but also for the soft fabric we get to use. Let's explore the craftsmanship behind each stitch and the fabrics we select to show off our beautiful craft.


🌿The Importance of Fabric in Chikankari - What's so Important

When we think of Chikankari, we think of elegance, softness, and time spent to create beautiful handwork - and to establish this art truly, the right fabric will matter - for many reasons. Firstly, the fabric must be soft enough to let a needle go through easily but durable (right weight) to hold detail for as long as it takes to wash the area of embroidery!

At SNAPFAB, we select fabrics that not only elevate the look and feel of our pieces but also truly complement it , and that is the same for every piece! Take a look at some of our favourite fabrics:

1. Pure Cotton - breathable, skin friendly and a wonderful option for everyday wear.

2. Muslin (Mulmul) - incredibly light wrap and airy, we can see you wearing this for a hot climate and summer elegance.

3. Modal & Viscose - smooth, flowy textures with a rich look and perfect for casual and semi formal.

4. Georgette, Chiffon, Organza & Silk - beautiful festive styles that elevate the embroidery for occasions we remember.

Each fabric has a story to tell and whether you want soft and breezy or rich and royal, there is a canvas for that.

🙋♀️Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)


Q. What type of fabric is best for Chikankari?

A. The most often used fabrics are pure cotton, muslin, modal, and georgette. Each of these fabrics allows the embroidery to sit right, while allowing the garment to be breathable and light — great for the weather in India.

Q. How is handmade Chikankari different than machine embroidery?

A. Handmade Chikankari is done by trained artisans stitch-by-stitch. It is not only time consuming and labour intensive, each piece also tells a different story since every piece made will be slightly different. Machine embroidery is a lot quicker and more uniform, though lacks the beauty and heart of handmade embroidery.

Q. Are SNAPFAB fabrics skin-friendly?

A. Definitely! All of our fabrics are gentle on the skin, free from harsh chemicals, and suitable for even sensitive skin. We utilize natural dyes and softening techniques to hold on to a light and airy feel.


Q. Can I wear these outfits daily?

A. Yes! Many of our customers wear SNAPFAB at work, college, or just for running around. Our cotton and muslin kurta sets are meant to be flattering + comfortable which you could wear every day!


Q. What is the best way to wash these garments?

A. We suggest you use a gentle hand wash or light machine wash, using a mild detergent. Don't rub or wring out. Always dry in the shade and iron from the reverse side to protect the embroidery.


Q. Do you offer bulk or wholesale orders?

A. We do! SNAPFAB has bulk rates for boutiques, resellers, and small businesses. Just send us a message on WhatsApp (+91_9889518012) or DM us @snapfabofficial on Instagram.
