Mukaish Work Embroidery Services
Origin: Lucknow, India
Mukaish involves flattening fine metal wires onto fabric to create delicate, shimmering patterns. Often combined with Chikankari, it adds subtle glamour without overwhelming the base embroidery. The technique creates a distinctive sparkle that's elegant rather than flashy.

How Mukaish Work Embroidery is Done
Tiny pieces of metallic wire (badla) are flattened and inserted through the fabric using a specialized needle. Each piece creates a small dot of shimmer. Thousands of these dots create patterns that give a subtle, star-like sparkle effect. Often paired with Chikankari embroidery from Lucknow.
History & Heritage
Developed in Lucknow's karkhanas (workshops), Mukaish became the perfect complement to Chikankari, adding that signature 'Lucknowi' sparkle to white and pastel fabrics.
