Golden Chikan Export Private Limited

Golden Chikan Export Private Limited is located out in the Kakori area. If you know the roads around there, we are at Khasra Number 2352 in Durgaganj. This is not the busy city center of Lucknow; it is a bit further out where things are much quieter and slower. Chikan work is what this whole region is famous for, and that is exactly what we do here. We deal with the local artisans who have been doing this hand embroidery for many generations. Our office feels more like a small warehouse where we collect all the finished pieces from the workers. There is always a lot of white cloth and thread lying around. We spend a lot of our time checking the handiwork to see if the stitches are okay and up to the mark. It is a very slow process because you simply cannot rush hand embroidery. Sometimes the roads out here to Durgaganj get very muddy when it rains, which makes it difficult for the delivery vans to reach us. We do not have a big corporate office with glass walls or air conditioning in every room. It is a practical space with heavy wooden tables and lots of storage racks. We manage the exports from here, so there is plenty of paperwork involved. We have a small team from the village who help us with the packing and counting. It is a very local operation and we like it.
