If you’re looking for authentic Chikankari in Pune, start your journey with Pakeeza – Lucknowi Chikankari Studio in Karve Nagar. Recently, as part of Urbanly’s My Fair Lady initiative, fitness and nutrition consultant Manasi Garge—a new mom to a two-month-old—visited the boutique for a special shopping experience. She explored a lovely collection of GI tagged Chikankari dress materials, kurtis, sarees, and salwar kameez in soft, pastel shades.
Pakeeza is Pune’s only boutique dedicated exclusively to original GI tagged Lucknowi Chikankari. Every piece here is handmade in Lucknow, the heartland of this elegant embroidery tradition. The boutique is owned by Neelu Punn Kale, who hails from Lucknow and runs her own manufacturing unit there. That ensures all products are 100% authentic and hand-embroidered—no machine work is used.
What sets Pakeeza apart is the craftsmanship. The embroidery is delicate, intricate, and completely handmade by skilled artisans. The boutique offers a wide variety of clothing—from elegant daily wear kurtis to festive sarees and custom salwar kameez.
Manasi Garge, during her visit, was impressed by the range and quality of designs. She highlighted how elegant and breathable Chikankari is—perfect for Pune’s weather and suitable for both new moms and working professionals.
Pakeeza is not just a boutique—it’s a bridge between tradition and modern lifestyle. It brings the soul of Lucknow to Pune, through finely detailed Chikankari work. If you love classic fashion and value handloom clothing, this boutique is a must-visit.
