The hands behind every stitch

The SHWET initiative began training women in Chikankari inside Safe Society, a Lucknow NGO, in 2019. Shwet Heritage launched as its label in 2021. Today more than 1,000 women across self-help groups embroider every piece we sell, and earn ₹500 per kurta for work that middlemen price at ₹20–50. These are some of the artisans who sign their craft.
