Khayal (Moodboard):
Raat ki Raani or Night Jasmine is a fragrance that we associate Lucknow deeply with. Used very liberally in our homes, since childhood, it is a fragrance after dusk, that we had grown accustomed to. Come monsoons, the sultry evenings in the homes of this regal city, would be wafting in the strong and sweet scent of this flower shrub.
Amongst many fragrances, which are signature of Awadh culture, Night Jasmine is most certainly an underrated, but a prominent one. The flower motif in this fabric is an imagination of the memories that this flower would evoke with its mellow scent.
Poshaak (About the fabric):
This Chikankari and Mukaish Top/Blouse fabric is an ethereal White on White beauty, with neat floral rows of embroidery on front, sleeves & back. The back has one stunning motif, a representative of Floral Creepers coming together to form a heart, at the back. The fabric is sufficient to make a stunning blouse to pair with many sarees, of same or different crafts. Please get the fabric full lined to make a blouse.

Khayal (Moodboard):
In the summer of 2022, we travelled to the villages around Lucknow city, which have been inked into legends and ballads due to their vast stretches of Mango Orchards, full of sweet fragrance and even sweeter promises. It was here, that we chanced upon some small, but gorgeous stretches of Sunflower Fields, farmed for the much used Sunflower Oil. The sight was as beautiful as a William Wordsworth poem, and also one that was unexpected in the topography of Awadh. This wanted us to add one more motif to our bouquet of work based on Awadh region.
Surajmukhi is a stunning statement motif in a field of other flowers & trees.

The Sustainability Quotient (SQ):
1. Upcycled Blouse (this blouse is made out of a Rajnigandha Saree that had a minor flaw while embroidering by the artisan. We did not let the precious work go waste & paid the artisan appropriately for their work. However since we could not sell the garment as a saree, we made beautiful Blouses from the fabric instead.) If these blouses generate good demand, then we can make them on order as well, thereby creating a new product & another revenue stream for the artisans and us.
2. Bio Washed : Washed without using Acid in Mother Gomati river; the fabric was washed in our facility in Gurgaon using Natural Ingredients. The water used in washing was later boiled & filtered and re used in small odd jobs or mopping of floors.3. Masterclass tailoring: Blouse is well lined & has sufficient margins to enable alterations, which allows us making less pieces & catering to more demand.
KHAYAL (moodboard):
"Not all rebel without a cause; not all rebellion is aggressive in its tone. I have always been a silent rebel while growing up. What does that mean? I am absolutely fine with following handed down traditions, yet I will love to alter patterns to suit a more current or versatile way of thinking & living; an approach that is all inclusive and increases happiness and wholesomeness. If life should be like this, then why not clothes, that form an integral & inseparable part of everyday life, the faces of our personalities. I brought my silent rebellion to my design table when I found Meiraas. Maybe this is the reason why today in such a short span and amidst burgeoning competition I keep getting messages that applaud the clearly differentiated look of Meiraas Chikankari or Shibori or Mukaish, and yet marvel at the core essence of the craft that remains as it is - A rebel, but one with a cause.Â
This Crop Top, was crafted with flirty flared Kota sleeves and a sweetheart neckline. The idea was to create a typically cottagecore Top that transcends beautifully from Western Wear to Indian Traditional Wear, something more versatile and inclusive. Something you can slip on with shorts and colourful scarves or lace with strings of pearls & wear with a saree - a wholesome approach to include crafts in more versatile ways to ensure their longevity" - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas
POSHAAK (about the dress): The Cotton Silk Blouse is upcycled from a freshly embroidered Rajnigandha Saree that was unfortunately torn in the process of making, from one corner. We created a completely new category out of it, without wasting the precious embroidery and human hours invested in the creating the dainty embroidery, with this essential blouse. It is natural white colour of Kota Doria with beautiful embroidery. The Blouse is fully lined in the body with soft Cotton lining to give a good fall & fit. The sleeves are left unlined, gossamer & fun. The hook loops are at the back. The neck is sweetheart and shows off the décolletage beautifully.

KHAYAL (moodboard):Â "I watched Rajnigandha as a child and was extremely enamoured by Vidya Sinha ji's simplicity & yet her grace and elan. I have often talked on Meiraas Instagram about her "Classic White Blouse" that she paired with many printed & coloured sarees. It was just like the basic white button down we grew up treating as essential in our Corporate Wardrobes. I wanted to create many versions of Vidya ji's classic white style, & this one is a more elegant Cotton Silk version with allover embroidery that can be paired with colourful cotton or pastel cotton silks or even jewel coloured silks to balance them out." - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Design, Meiraas

ARTISANAL CHIKANKARI BY MEIRAAS
KHAYAL (moodboard): The outskirts of the historic & charming city of Lucknow are equally beautiful in their rustic charm. These ancinet Indo Gangetic plains are lush with greenery & boasts of one of World's oldest agrarian civilisation. Watching the emerald landscape of Awadh is a surreal experience, even more so in winters when dotted with the migratory bird population, the most notable of these being the Siberian Cranes, that never enter the city Lucknow, but stay just outside, especially in Nawabgunj Bird Sanctuary. With this concept in mind, we wanted to design motifs that glide in the night sky in a Yin & Yang appeal; we found the desirable art style of these motifs, very surprisingly, in Japan. The ancient Japanese Art style is dramatically circular in design, & it is here that we found our serendipity, the right manner to display the Nawabgunj Cranes. The motif of Chikankari is an exclusive design of Meiraas launched in 2018. Borrowing from Japanese palette, we designed the motifs keeping Chikankari stitches in mind, that best romance the gliding flight of the Siberian Cranes.
POSHAAK (about the dress): The Tussar Silk blouse is crafted in a unique wrap around jacket style for better fit. The sleeves have been let lose inspired by Kimono style sleeves for ease of movement. The in seams of the blouse have both Hooks & Potli Buttons. The back will have the Statement Falaknuma Motif. The blouse is lined perfectly with soft cotton all over to ensure total comfort.
Additional Details: This Blouse can be altered uptil sizes S (small) to XXL (Extra Extra Large) only.
