FAQs
About Our Products
What is Chikankari embroidery?
Chikankari is a traditional hand embroidery technique from Lucknow, India, known for its delicate threadwork and fine detailing. Each Firgun piece is hand-embroidered by skilled artisans using age-old techniques passed down over generations.
Are all your products hand-embroidered?
Yes, every Firgun garment is meticulously hand-embroidered by trained artisans. As a slow fashion brand, we take pride in preserving the authenticity of this craft.
Where are your products made?
All our products are crafted in India, primarily in Lucknow — the heart of Chikankari embroidery. We work directly with local artisans and women-led embroidery clusters.
Do you use natural or synthetic fabrics?
We mostly work with natural and breathable fabrics such as mulmul cotton, chanderi, georgette, and modal. Each fabric is carefully chosen to complement the delicacy of Chikankari.
Is there slight variation in embroidery or colour?
Yes, since every piece is handmade, slight variations are a natural and beautiful part of the process. No two pieces are exactly the same — that’s what makes each one unique.
Are your products sustainable or ethically made?
Absolutely. Firgun follows slow fashion principles. Our garments are made in small batches, ethically handcrafted by artisans who are paid fairly for their work.

Product Care
How should I wash and care for Chikankari garments?
We recommend gentle hand wash in cold water using mild detergent. Do not wring, rub, or soak. Dry flat in shade.
Can I dry clean my Firgun outfit?
Yes, dry cleaning is safe and ideal for delicate fabrics like georgette, chanderi, or intricately embroidered pieces.

With proper care, Chikankari embroidery lasts beautifully. Avoid harsh detergents and machine washes to maintain its finesse.
