KHAYAL (mood-board):

Chikankari has been seen as the summer wear for the past 100-150 years or so. However, the embroidery in itself, has enough mettle to be practised with perfect finesse on various fabrics. This has been the endeavour of Meiraas since our inception.

We wanted to make this Craft more fluid to other seasons as well, as Chikankari represents the silent art of tone on tone classic beauty, that is endearing to almost everyone in every season. It speaks of class, elegance, discerning taste and grace. Its foray into Shawls was more ordained than ever imagined.

We had started working on Chikankari Shawls since 2017, but the perfecting of its form happened now.

It is no surprise that our choice of colour for the first shawl was pure white with tone on tone embroidery, as that is the moodboard Chikankari is most associated with; A Class Apart Heirloom in the World of Luxury Drapes.

POSHAAK (about the dress):

The Konia boota Resham Chikankari embroidered shawl takes inspiration from ivory & marble carvings that are delicate, timeless, rich & evocative, and the traditional konia boota classic warm drapes.

This pure merino wool shawl has been embroidered on tow diagonal ends with a very fine & intricate floral motif, featuring an array of rare stitches like Jaali (qasab taar), Bijli, Kaante, Phada, Keel, Kangan, kauri, amongst many stitches. The body is scattered with a beautiful miniature phool patti motif running all through the shawl.

This shawl is a lighter to drape, making it easier to drape on many occasions, and is a remarkable piece of wearable art.

This is an Heirloom Shawl that can be passed from generation to generation. More than the warmth that the wool gives, this will be a cherished memory full of warmth of hands that embroidered it, & hands that picked it up and owned it, like a piece of textile jewel, that it is.

P.S: You can get this shawl made on Pure Pashmina, & the colour can be customised too. Please email us at namaste@meiraas.com to know more.
