Rooted in Heritage. Crafted for the Modern Soul.
At Nakhre, our story doesn't begin on an e-commerce dashboard or a trend board. It begins in the timeless lanes of Lucknow, amid the rhythmic hum of needles weaving centuries of royal Indian heritage into fabric.
What started as a visionary legacy by Late Mr. R.S. Rastogi back in 1985 was built on a simple, uncompromising promise: to preserve the authentic art of Lakhnavi Chikankari while crafting garments defined by sheer comfort, breathability, and royal elegance.
Over more than 35 years of manufacturing excellence, this passion was meticulously shaped into an industry standard by Mr. Sanjiv Rastogi. Through every changing era, the commitment remained unchanged: keeping the intricate hand-embroidery craft alive, honoring native karigars, and delivering genuine handloom perfection straight from the loom.
A Legacy Passed Down. A Vision Redefined.
As the decades unfolded, this rich heritage found its next chapter. Growing up surrounded by the delicate textures of Bakhiya, the precision of Phanda, and the subtle elegance of shadow work, his daughter Divyanshi didn't just witness decades of master craft. She saw its true, undervalued potential in a fast-fashion world.
Recognizing that modern women seek both royal authenticity and effortless daily comfort, she stepped in to bridge two worlds. She took 35+ years of foundational manufacturing strength and infused it with a fresh, contemporary perspective, reshaping Indian ethnic wear into modern Nakhre vibes.
She envisioned garments for the woman who carries her culture with pride, demands high quality, and embraces her individuality with a touch of flair. Under her direction, traditional Chikankari evolved from classic heirlooms into versatile, contemporary silhouettes, from breathable Modal Silk kurtis and unstitched suit materials to trending Indo-Western co-ord sets designed for the modern lifestyle.
