Some details are meant to be found, not shown. The CHIKAN SHADOW sweatshirt carries one chikan bud on each sleeve, worked white on white, so from a distance it looks like a plain Rui White sweatshirt. Up close, the buds appear: small, precise and calm. It is a piece built on restraint, in the same spirit as the craft it comes from.
Chikankari is the white-on-white embroidery tradition of Lucknow, known for delicate floral motifs on fine cloth. The CHIKAN SHADOW sweatshirt takes one of its simplest forms, a single bud, and places it once on each sleeve. To be clear about how it is made: the buds are machine-embroidered in India, after Lucknow chikankari. It is a tribute to the craft, not handwork.
The CHIKAN SHADOW sweatshirt is made from 90% cotton and 10% polyester fleece at 300 GSM. It is warm enough for winter mornings and cool evenings, and soft enough to wear all day. The cotton keeps it breathable, and the polyester helps the fleece keep its shape.
The cut is a unisex regular fit, neat under a coat and easy on its own. Sizes run from XS to 3XL. Our size guide lists chest and length for every size, so you can compare with a sweatshirt you already own and like.
The CHIKAN SHADOW sweatshirt belongs to the Luxe house of the EKVAAR House of Originals. It is a limited edition of only 10 pieces, and it will never be remade. It comes in one colour, Rui White, because white on white is the whole idea.
Let the white do the work. Straight denim or relaxed trousers with clean sneakers is the easy pairing, and accessories should stay minimal. On colder days, wear it under a long coat or an overshirt jacket. A palette of white, ecru, grey and denim keeps the focus on the quiet detail. For a companion piece with another Indian border, look at the MEHENDI BEL sweatshirt.
The CHIKAN SHADOW sweatshirt is unisex and made for people who value detail over display. It suits a calm office, a family dinner, a winter trip or a quiet weekend, and with only 10 pieces in the edition, few people will wear the same one.
White on white asks you to look twice. There is no contrast to shout for attention, only texture: the raised thread catching light against a smooth ground. It is the opposite of a logo, and it is why chikankari has always felt refined rather than loud. This sweatshirt borrows that feeling for everyday wear.
Wash it inside out in cold water and dry on low heat. Do not iron on the embroidery. Turning it inside out protects the buds and the white fleece, so the CHIKAN SHADOW sweatshirt keeps its clean look.
Every CHIKAN SHADOW sweatshirt is machine-embroidered and made in India only after you reserve it. You choose your size, and it is made for you. Reserve yours above.
