Posted On

Feb 21, 2024

In the vibrant city of Lucknow, a group of enterprising women came together in 2016 to establish Libaas-e-Lucknow, a business dedicated to showcasing the elegance of Lucknow's traditional attire to the world. This venture gave wings to the dream of Huma Danish, (Batch 2016-18) to provide most fashionable and classy ethnic women's wear to the women anywhere on the globe. Being from the city of chikankaari, making Chikankari and Gararas accessible to women outside Lucknow at pocket-friendly prices was her priority.


The transition from a corporate setting to the vibrant landscape of fashion has been both challenging and exhilarating for Huma Danish. Armed with a keen eye for aesthetics and a penchant for creativity, she has navigated the intricacies of the industry with grace and determination. Her journey is emblematic of the fusion of intellect with artistry, as she forges a unique path towards self-expression and sartorial excellence.

 

From humble beginnings as a local clothing shop in their neighbourhood, they evolved into a reputable destination for women's ethnic wear, cherished by a loyal customer base. Their meticulous selection of products reflects their unwavering commitment to prioritising customer satisfaction.

 

A Story Of Resilience And Growth

With a bare minimum investment of Rs 600, the founders embarked on their entrepreneurial journey, gradually expanding their business in response to increasing demand. Despite facing challenges such as the impact of the pandemic and enduring financial pressures, they remained steadfast in their dedication to their craft. Their perseverance has not only strengthened them but also instilled a sense of pride in their accomplishments.

 

Expanding Horizons

Originating as a home-based venture, the business transitioned from borrowing garments to sourcing from wholesalers, eventually establishing a brick-and-mortar store offering tailored services. Now poised for the next chapter, the team is embarking on the digital realm by launching their website. Future plans include diversifying their product range and amplifying the essence of Lucknawi Libaas in their offerings.
