"When i had started wearing sarees, my first inhibition was that they are uncomfortable to drape, carry and not functional in day to day work. This myth was successfully busted by Bengal Handwoven Cottons. Fluid & dreamy and easy to drape, i started wearing them to my Corporate office (HBO). I was met with awed looks (after asking it the day was "special"). Gradually my office colleagues back then got used to seeing me in a saree, which was a refreshing change from the multitude of fast fashion mall tops & pants. The ladies in my office would tell me how much they admire the simple and impactful sarees that look romantic and comfortable, & how their sarees are only wedding trousseau sarees, all unwearable, and packed in their trunks. Bengal Cottons thus remains close to my heart. If any one has to start wearing sarees they must choose from Bengal first" - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas

" What is the equivalent to the classic white button down shirt with context to Sarees? My answer will always be the Indigo Bagru Block Print Cotton Saree. The essential saree for all saree wardrobes. You just cannot go wrong with it. I wore mine to temples, office, lunch with extended family, in fact in June month i even dressed it up with heavy silver jewellery for my in laws' 50th anniversary in a temple to astounding compliments from all ladies sweating in heavy brocade silks. I breezed in and out with ease." - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas

"One of my favourite things to do when on vacation is to walk on rustly leaves that have fallen from the trees. Yellow & Orange leaves forming a soft carpet to lightly tread upon with silence all around, broken only by the mellow sighting of a singing thrush or gurgling of a water body. Kota Silk is dear to me as unlike Doria it rustles more due to Silk yarn. While the sarees are soft and light to drape, they feel distinctly different from Kota Doria. I have dressed my own Kota Silks with polki jewellery always. While i receive compliments on how easily i carry weaves that normally one does not wear to family gatherings, I smile thinking of my walk on the carpet of the freshly fallen foliage. As they carpet our walk, they also remind us that new life is germinating on the bare branches above" - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas

In India, mainly 4 varieties of silk are produced - Tussar, Eri, Mulberry, Muga. Out of these, Mulberry Silk is cultivated silk, whereas the rest 3 silks are Wild silks. This is an important distinction, this means yarn for the wild silks are obtained from indigenous silk worm species feeding on wild forest tree leaves. Tussar Silk yarn is extracted from silk worms that feed on wild forest trees and has a natural golden glow. Its weaving is centred mainly in Bihar, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh. Please note like all Tussar Silk, this is Wild Silk, handspun, thigh reeled and Handwoven. Desi Tussar is just a colloquial term used by weavers of Bhagalpur, Bihar to indicate towards the purest variety of woven Tussar Silk yardage. The same fabric and process will be called Kosa Silk if woven in Chattisgarh. The silk you are seeing here is therefore the purest variety of Handloom Tussar Silk. Desi Tussar term is just used here for colloquial purpose.
" This saree was love at first sight for me! Two sweet Rajkot Patola weavers met me sometime back and opened their treasure box full of most supple soft silk sarees. That was my first introduction to Patola weave. Later I found that Patola sarees are woven in two towns in Gujarat - Rajkot & Patan. The Patan Patola is hands down the most premium version with its double Ikat starting in lakhs. The Rajkot Patola is its cousin, that though not as regal as its rich counterpart, is still one of most supple and graceful weaves. This is a Single Ikat Rajkot Patola with lovely highlights of Gold and Burnt Orange on glistening black pure silk body. The saree is incredibly soft and its pleats form & fall like a poem. It is perfect to drape on festive, wedding or puja occasions" - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas

"Panchtantra was a collection of Chanderi sarees I conceptualised & designed in 2018, & executed somewhere in 2019. I wanted to introduce the iconography of the tales of Panchtantra I had grown up reading & whose learning I always imbibed in me. Sutradhaar was a saree added to the Panchtantra collection, and depicts a Golden Tree of Wisdom with small birds that often in Panchtantra tales, act as story narrators of Sutradhaar.
