What is Shikra London?
Shikra London is a heritage-inspired fashion brand. We make contemporary, everyday pieces in vegan silk, inspired by the saree and the textile traditions of South Asia. Designed in London, made to be worn, not saved for occasions that never come.

Are your pieces made from old sarees? Do you upcycle?
No. Our silk is new and vegan, made in the tradition of the saree. We don't upcycle or repurpose existing garments.

Where are your products made?
Each piece is designed in London. Our First Flight jackets are made in Tunisia. The Meeka collection is made in India. All our silk is vegan and sourced from India.

Are your pieces limited?
Yes. We work in small collections rather than mass production. It keeps waste down, and it means some pieces are made once and not repeated. Others run on pre-order, so you can reserve the next run rather than miss out.

What sizes do you offer?
Sizes vary by collection. First Flight runs S to XL. The Meeka collection runs XS to XL. You'll find the full size range on each product page. If you're between sizes or need help, contact us and we'll guide you.

Will you restock sold-out items?
It depends on the collection. First Flight is a one-time collection and won't return once it sells out. The Meeka collection runs on pre-order, so if a piece is unavailable you can reserve it for the next run. Join the Shikra fam or follow us on Instagram to hear first.

How does pre-order work?
Pre-order lets you reserve a piece from the next run before it's made. We'll give an estimated dispatch window at checkout and keep you updated by email. You're charged at the time of order.

Where do you ship to?
We ship worldwide to most countries. Standard UK shipping is free on orders over £100. International shipping fees vary by destination and are calculated and shown at checkout. Please note that customs and duties will be payable by the customer.

How long will my order take to arrive?

• UK in-stock items: 3–5 business days once dispatched. You’ll receive a tracking number after shipment. Delays can occur due to courier or customs issues outside our control.
• International: Delivery times vary by country. Estimated delivery windows and any duties/taxes will be shown at checkout.

Can I change or cancel my order?
Contact us as soon as possible after placing your order. If it hasn’t shipped, we’ll do our best to amend or cancel it.

Do you accept returns?
Yes—within 14 days of delivery, provided the item is unworn, unwashed, and in its original condition. Returns shipping fee is the customer’s responsibility unless the item is faulty.

Can I exchange for a different size?
We’re happy to help with exchanges where stock allows. Contact us to arrange this.

How should I care for my Shikra piece?

• Due to the delicate nature of the vegan silk, we recommend dry cleaning only. Read the care labels for further instruction.
• Our silk is delicate by nature. The occasional pull or snag is normal and part of the character of the fabric, not a fault. Handle it gently, especially around jewellery and rough surfaces, and it will wear beautifully for years.
