Note from the Founder:

“Meiraas has created and re created motifs of Archival quality that speak of the heritage of this craft and the history associated around it; wearing Sarees & Suits in Meiraas Chikankari is a luxury that our patrons love to save and invest into, to create their own heritage. We also wanted our patrons to enjoy the Luxury of Meiraas Archive Quality Chikankari on an everyday or more frequent basis, or mix & match with more crafts, that is why we decided to make these beautiful statement blouse fabrics, that can be worn with any saree and on any occasion – whether workplace meetings, brunches or cafe outings, or even weddings. We hope you enjoy these Everyday Luxury pieces from Meiraas” – Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas.

Khayal (Moodboard):

Miniature or “keel ka boota” are absolutely small and detailed motifs in Chikankari, that though very popular once, and now used very sparingly in a very commercial market. These motifs were extremely popular amongst even the Britishers and Europeans who loved the appeal of a clean palette with nuanced small motifs, lazily adorning the fabric with delicate touch. Meiraas undertakes the work of finding such miniature antique motifs (now such new motifs are not made) and using them to create subtle pieces of wearable art.

Poshaak (About the fabric):

This Chikankari and Mukaish Top/Blouse fabric is an ethereal White on White beauty, with smattering of two miniature motifs of Flower & Leaf on front & back and one motif for sleeves. This will be a blouse that you will love to pair with any saree. We will recommend that you keep it white for multi usage. Please get the fabric fully lined to make a blouse.
