Our Story

Little Awadh began not as a business idea, but as a personal search. As a parent, I found myself longing for Indian wear that was soft, breathable, made for children — yet rich with story. Pieces that honoured tradition, without overwhelming childhood.

Chikankari became that answer.

Today, as India’s first and only brand devoted exclusively to chikankari for children, we create garments to be worn lightly, loved deeply, and remembered fondly. Each piece is a quiet heirloom — carrying the imprint of the artisan’s hand and the poetry of a child’s growing years.

Little Awadh is the only brand dedicated toward fine chikankari for children. We use the highest quality fabrics and do the finest Chikankari work. Being a children’s brand, we use the most unique motifs like peacocks and elephants, rarely seen in chikankari.

We are proudly Made in India. Designed, embroidered and stitched in Lucknow.

With warmth,
Shreya Rastogi
