Mamta Akash Chikan Ltd.

You can find us right beneath the Munnulal Dharamshala, over by the Chowk. It’s a busy area, especially with the Bank of India right across from us. We’ve been working with Chikan embroidery for quite some time. It's a local thing, and we take it seriously even if our shop isn't the biggest on the block. We have stacks of fabric and thread everywhere. Sometimes it looks a bit messy to an outsider, but we know exactly where everything is. The light in the shop isn't always perfect, but we make it work. Most days, we are just busy checking the stitching or talking to folks who stop in from the street. It gets loud outside with all the traffic at the Chowk, but inside we just focus on the clothes. We don't spend money on big signs or fancy decorations. We'd rather just show you the work we do. It’s a family-run kind of vibe. We aren't a big corporation with suits; we are just people who like the craft. If you are walking past the bank, you’ll see us. Stop by if you want to see what we are making this week. It’s always different stuff coming through. We keep things simple and honest. Sometimes we run out of a certain color, but we always find a way to get more. That is just how we do things here. We don't mind the noise from the street.
