Q. How and when did you set up Sutra’s?
A. We hail from Kanpur, which is approximately one hour away from Lucknow, where the traditional embroidery style of Chikankari was born. We have been lucky to closely watch thousands of artisans at work in this rich nawabi craft. We felt this ancient needlecraft deserved more prominence. So, after moving to Pune, we thought of popularising this handiwork through our label Sutra’s, which was set up in January last year.
