Does Handcrafted Chikankari ship internationally?

Yes! Check out our Shipping Policies for more info on this.

Is the product exactly as shown in pictures?

There will be slight differences in the product and the pictures due to screen resolution or lights used during the photoshoot.

Can we exchange or return a product?

Please refer to our Exchange & Return policy here.

Why was my order cancelled?

While it's rare, it's possible for items to become out of stock. If this does occur, we will notify you within 24-48 hours about the cancellation & issue a refund. If your order contains additional items, these items will be shipped to you as normal.

Why is the response time slower than standard time?

We started as a single human brand, handled by just our founder, and we are a team of 4 people now thanks to all the love! But we still do not have a proper team in place for Customer service and it’s handled by our team members. Along with their additional duties of packaging, handling orders, managing inventory, and so on, it’s a little understaffed here. We are hiring people as we speak, so this will not be an issue for much longer.

Why don’t you issue refunds?

We’re still a small team here at Handcrafted Chikankari, so our inventory is often limited, and doing refunds is just not possible for us at the time. We'll continuously keep updating this section for our customers as new and different questions keep coming. Hope to help you as best as we can!

How do I take care of my garment?

Machine wash can cause the delicate threads of your Chikankari outfit to open up; therefore, we recommend a hand wash/dry clean for your handcrafted outfit.

How can I be assured of the quality of products ordered?

All your products are handmade with the utmost love and care. In this process, only the finest grade of fabrics are used, and the products go through 5 layers of quality inspection before dispatch.
