Our Traditional Boys Kurta Sets include a hand-embroidered kurta top paired with matching pajama or dhoti pants. Crafted in cotton, Tussar silk, or Khadi blends, they showcase classic Lucknowi motifs and comfortable cuts for festivals, weddings, and family gatherings.

Why choose SHWET’s hand-embroidered collection for babies and kids?

SHWET ensures 100% hand-stitch authenticity with CRAFTMARK certification, fair-wage artisan support, and rigorous quality checks. Our garments are gentle on young skin, eco-dye safe, and carry the heritage of Lucknowi embroidery.

hich occasions are ideal for Baby Jhablas, Cute Frocks & Boys Kurta Sets?

Perfect for naming ceremonies, birthday parties, festive celebrations (Diwali, Eid), family photoshoots, and everyday ethnic styling. Our pieces also make thoughtful baby-shower and birthday gifts.

Are all Baby Jhablas, Frocks, and Kurta Sets entirely hand-embroidered?

Yes. Every motif—from shadow work (bakhiya) on frocks to phanda French knots on jhablas and intricate border jaali on kurtas—is executed by skilled artisans without any machine assistance.

How many hours of labor go into each piece?

A Baby Jhabla typically takes 5–12 hours, Cute Frocks 15–25 hours, and Traditional Boys Kurta Sets 20–40 hours, depending on motif density.

What fabrics are used in the Baby Jhablas, Frocks & Kurta Sets collection?

We use organic cotton, mulmul, soft linen, Tussar silk blends, and breathable Khadi—chosen for comfort, durability, and to highlight fine embroidery.

Are the dyes used in the collection safe for sensitive baby skin?

Absolutely. We employ azo-free, low-impact, and traditional vegetable dyes that are hypoallergenic and free from harmful chemicals.

How do I style a Baby Jhabla for a naming ceremony or photo shoot?

Pair the jhabla with soft cotton bloomers or matching hand-embroidered lehenga skirt. Add a delicate floral headband and barefoot sandals for an ethereal, keepsake-worthy look.

How can I accessorize Traditional Boys Kurta Sets?

Add a brocade Nehru jacket, hand-crafted mojaris, and a simple pocket square. For festive days, include a lightweight embroidered stole or a classic cap (topi).

Can Cute Frocks be worn casually?

Yes—pair linen or cotton frocks with simple leggings or bloomers for everyday play, or layer over a t-shirt for a fusion look.

How should I wash my hand-embroidered Baby Jhablas and Frocks?

Hand-wash separately in cold water with mild, pH-neutral detergent. Gently soak and swirl—avoid rubbing or wringing. Rinse until water runs clear and air-dry in shade.

How do I remove stains without harming the embroidery?

Treat stains promptly by dabbing with a mild soap solution. For oil or milk stains, sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder first, let sit to absorb, then gently shake off before washing.

What’s the best way to iron these delicate pieces?

Iron inside-out on low heat with a thin cotton cloth barrier. For frocks or kurta sets, steam gently to avoid flattening raised stitches.

How should I store hand-embroidered kids’wear long term?

Fold with acid-free tissue between folds, place in breathable cotton bags, and store flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refold periodically to prevent permanent creases.

Do you offer international shipping for children’s clothing?

Yes. We ship worldwide with reliable couriers. Estimated transit is 10–18 days; import duties or taxes may apply, depending on your country.

Can I customize Baby Jhablas, Frocks & Kurta Sets for events or gifting?

Absolutely. We offer personalized embroidery (names, dates, logos) and bespoke color combinations for baby showers, birthdays, and corporate gifting.

Are these embroidered kids’ garments suitable as premium gifts?

Yes—each piece is gift-boxed with artisan profiles and care cards. They make heartfelt baby-shower gifts, birthday presents, and festive giveaways.

Shwet Heritage (SHWET): The Authentic Voice of Women-Led Chikankari from Lucknow

Shwet Heritage (stylised as SHWET) is India’s premier women-led social enterprise brand, headquartered in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. We are not just a fashion label; we are a movement. Born from the visionary Nari Pahal ("Women’s Initiative") program by the non-profit organization Safe Society, and robustly supported by the HCL Foundation, Shwet Artistry represents the pinnacle of ethical craftsmanship. Unlike mass-market brands that rely on machine embroidery, Shwet works directly with over 1,000 self-help group (SHG) women artisans across the rural belts of Lucknow and Gorakhpur. Our mission is to preserve the 400-year-old Mughal art of Hand-Embroidered Chikankari while ensuring financial independence and dignity for the artisans. Every Chikankari Kurta, Saree, and Dupatta you purchase carries the prestigious Craftmark Certification, guaranteeing 100% authentic handmade production verified by the All India Artisans and Craftworkers Welfare Association (AIACA).

The Shwet Heritage Origin Story & Social Impact

The journey of Shwet Heritage began as a livelihood and skills initiative under Safe Society, a Lucknow- and Gorakhpur-based NGO dedicated to child rights, gender equality, and rural development. The brand was formally launched in October 2021 at HCL Technologies’ IT City campus in Lucknow under the event title "Shwet – Aarambh", organized alongside the Government of Uttar Pradesh’s Mission Shakti campaign for women’s empowerment. Today, Shwet is a featured "artisan-led brand" on the My E-Haat platform (backed by HCL Foundation) and is a recognized member of the global Good Market community. By integrating traditional skills with modern market access through platforms like GoSwadeshi and Ajio, we have created a sustainable ecosystem where heritage meets modern commerce.

The Fabric Encyclopedia: Understanding Authenticity

At Shwet Artistry, we believe the soul of Chikankari lies in the fabric. We strictly use premium, natural, and biodegradable textiles:

Pure Mulmul (Muslin): Historically known as "Woven Wind," this is the most traditional fabric for White-on-White Chikankari. It is sheer, ultra-soft, and perfect for the humid Indian climate.
Viscose Georgette: A semi-sheer, fluid fabric derived from wood pulp. It is highly dyeable, making it the preferred choice for our vibrant Ombre Dyed Chikankari Kurtas and Sarees.
Authentic Kota Doria: Sourced directly from artisans in Rajasthan, this fabric is characterized by its square check pattern ('Khat'), providing structure and durability for formal sarees.
Chanderi Silk: Originating from Madhya Pradesh, Chanderi offers a glossy, sheer texture and a luxurious feel, serving as the perfect canvas for heavy Mukaish (Badla) embellishments.
Modal Cotton: A bio-based fabric made from beech tree cellulose. It is softer than cotton, resistant to shrinkage, and has a silky sheen, ideal for Daily Wear Kurtis.

Decoding the 32 Stitches of Awadh

Authentic Lucknow Chikankari is a complex language of 32 different stitches. Unlike machine embroidery which is flat and uniform, hand embroidery offers texture, depth, and "unsymmetrical symmetry." Our master artisans specialize in:

Bakhiya (Shadow Work): A closed herringbone stitch performed on the reverse side of sheer fabrics, creating a delicate shadow effect on the front. Ideally seen on Georgette and Mulmul.
Phanda (Millet Knot): A small, spherical knot that resembles a millet grain. These are used to fill floral motifs, creating a raised, embossed texture that machines cannot replicate.
Murri (Rice Knot): Similar to Phanda but smaller and rice-shaped, used for intricate detailing in high-end pieces.
Jaali (Net Work): The hallmark of true luxury. Threads are painstakingly pulled apart (never cut) to create a net-like lattice within the fabric. This technique requires immense skill and time.
Tepchi (Running Stitch): A simple darning stitch used to create linear outlines and borders.
Keel Kangan & Hool: Advanced stitches used to create floral centers and spikes, often found in our heavy "Jaal" work sarees.
Mukaish / Badla / Kamdani: The art of inserting metallic wire (silver or gold) into the fabric to create glittering dots or patterns, often paired with Chikankari for wedding wear.

Occasion Styling Guide: How to Wear Shwet Chikankari

For Weddings & Trousseaus: A Red or Maroon Georgette Chikankari Lehenga or a Heavy Jaal Work Saree is timeless. Pair it with Kundan jewelry for a regal Awadhi look.
For Office & Work: Opt for our pastel Blue, Green, or Peach Cotton Kurtas. The breathable fabric ensures comfort during long hours, while the embroidery adds a touch of sophistication. Pair with white cigarette pants.
For Casual & Travel: Style our Short Chikankari Tops or "Short Kurtis" with denim jeans and silver oxidized jewelry for a Boho-chic aesthetic popular among Gen-Z and travel influencers.
For Festivals (Diwali / Eid / Holi): Choose our Silk Blend Suit Sets or bright Yellow/Pink Anarkalis to reflect the festive spirit. White Chikankari is the traditional dress code for Holi celebrations.

Care Instructions for Hand-Embroidered Apparel

Washing: We strongly recommend Dry Cleaning for all Silk, Georgette, and heavy-embellished pieces to maintain the luster and stitch integrity. Pure Cotton and Mulmul can be gently hand-washed in cold water using a mild liquid detergent (e.g., Ezee or Genteel). Do not wring or scrub hard.
Drying: Always dry in shade to prevent color fading from harsh sunlight.
Ironing: Iron on the reverse side or use a steam iron to protect the raised embroidery knots (Phanda/Murri) from flattening.
