Reviving the craft

Since handmade phulkaris have almost disappeared and so only industrially- made phulkaris can be seen in the market. The traditional way of how a phulkari looked has also been modified now. Many phulkaris seen in the market have now incorporated curvy patterns along with the geometrical ones.



Many designers can be seen drawing inspiration from this art to create a whole range at fashion weeks.

Not only designers, but even Bollywood has drawn inspiration from phulkari. Movies such as 'Jab we met', 'Tanu weds Manu' and 'Teri meri kahaani' where Kareena Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra were seen wearing Phulkari inspired garments.
