Sulekha lives in Lucknow and first picked up Chikankari when her family was going through a tight financial phase and every extra bit of income mattered. She now plans her day around both housework and stitching, sending in her pieces regularly so there is never a gap in earnings. When you purchase her work, you are directly sharing the load she quietly carries for her household.
