Our story
About Styled by Anahita
A small Indian label celebrating two of the country's most loved textile traditions — Chikankari from Lucknow and Banarasi from Varanasi.
Why we started
Styled by Anahita began with a simple love for hand-crafted Indian clothing — the quiet beauty of white-on-white Chikankari, the richness of a Banarasi weave, and the hours of skilled work that go into every piece. We wanted to make these traditions easy to discover and easy to wear, without losing what makes them special.
Today we offer a curated range of Chikankari kurtis, suit sets, sarees, fabrics and more, alongside Banarasi pieces for festive and special occasions. Every product page lists the fabric and details we know, so you can choose with confidence.
What we care about
Craft first
We focus on two traditions we love — Lucknow's Chikankari and Varanasi's Banarasi weaving — and choose pieces for the quality of their handwork and fabric.
Honest descriptions
We describe fabric, work and fit as accurately as we can, and photograph pieces to show them as they are. If you're unsure about anything, just ask us.
Wearable tradition
Heritage techniques, in silhouettes you'll actually reach for — from everyday kurtis to occasion sarees and suit sets.
Personal service
We're a small team. When you message us on WhatsApp or email, a real person reads it and replies.
The traditions we work with
Chikankari is a form of hand embroidery associated with Lucknow, known for fine stitches such as shadow work, French knots and delicate open jaali. Banarasi refers to the silks and brocades woven in Varanasi, famous for intricate woven motifs and zari. Read more about both on The Craft.
