Light Green Chikankari Hand Embroidered Silk Cotton Kurta with Zari Work
What I loved most was the handwritten note on handmade paper with sweet message. This hand written note make shopping experience much more personalized and unique. Now coming to products I received, I ordered one lucknowi Chikankari hand embroidered silk cotton kurta in light green color for myself. I totally loved the light color perfect for summers along with embroidery and zari work on it. Despite being silk, fabric is so comfortable to wear and can be worn in any season. When I tried this kurti which I ordered in size small, it fitted me so well that it looked custom made. This pastel shade kurti when paired with leggings and heavy dupatta is perfect to be worn on any festive occasion.
Turquoise Blue Plain Cotton Tagai Work Long Kurta
Along with Chikankari kurti, I also ordered one plain cotton kurti for my mother. This kurta has vibrant turquoise blue color and looks beautiful with tagai work done on it. Its fabric is also very comfortable and can be worn easily in summers too. This blue cotton kurta also has side pocket which is good additional feature making it very useful to keep something handy inside pocket. Overall, this is a plain, comfortable and beautiful kurti which you can wear on casual occasions or use it as daily wear too. When paired with white leggings and plain dupatta, this kurti will give a sophisticated look.
Neev Natural HandmadeSoap
Along with these two kurtis, I also ordered Neev natural handmade soaps in Lemongrass and Moringa variant. I totally loved these Neev organic soaps which comes in luxurious packaging with handmade soaps inside. These rectangular shaped soaps are simple in look, plainly white in color but are very good in quality. I have used both lemongrass and moringa soap and loved their refreshing fragrance. These soaps are made of pure essential oils and really smell so good. I also loved the fact that they cleansed my skin well, are neither drying not very moisturizing and feel very soft on skin. These soaps are chemical free, safe to be used on skin and will surely make skin bright and healthy on prolonged and regular use. But please make sure to store these soaps with care as they will melt very fast when come in contact with water
WILL I RECOMMEND TO PURCHASE FROM ITOKRI?
I genuinely liked the Kurtis that I purchased and fall in love with Neev Organic handmade soaps. Both silk and cotton kurti look beautiful and are comfortable to wear too. Along with clothes and fabrics, iTokri also has vast collection of personal care items, jewellery, accessories to choose from. I will surely recommend to purchase and shop from this eco friendly brand iTokri that sell good quality artisanal products and clothes for both men and women. I will surely be repurchasing from iTokri brand again in future too.
