The Hands Behind
the Craft

Growing with Artisanal Integrity

From a team of 5 to a family of 25, Kri now works with over 500 skilled women artisans. With a fully in-house, vertically integrated process, each garment undergoes strict quality checks at every stage. No two pieces are identical, as each is crafted by hand. Combining industrial-grade sewing for precision with traditional hand block printing, we strike a fine balance between efficiency and artisanal craftsmanship.

Empowering Women

Through DEWI Foundation

What sets KRI apart is our dedication to fostering both artistry and social responsibility. We believe in nurturing a supportive ecosystem for our team and empowering our artisans with fair wages and sustainable practices. That's why we've partnered with DEWI Foundation, an NGO committed to training underprivileged women in chikankari. Through this partnership, we aim to provide skill development opportunities to empower women and uplift communities.

As a women-run, woman-owned label, Kri Chikankari is deeply committed to empowering women, especially those less fortunate, making it our mission to strengthen and support them.

Fostering Artistry and
Social Responsibility

Our journey is fueled by a dedication to empower women to embrace their individuality with confidence and style. From timeless classics to contemporary statement pieces, our designs are thoughtfully curated to cater to the diverse tastes and lifestyles of the modern woman.
