Manju

Manju is an elderly Chikankari artisan who has spent most of her life stitching between household responsibilities, treating the craft as both work and quiet companionship. She is especially careful with necklines and sleeve panels, keeping her motifs simple, clear, and wearable so her pieces sit well and last long. Now in her later years, this income helps her manage her own small needs with dignity. When you wear her work, you carry the patient hours of someone who has stitched through a lifetime of change.
