THIS WAS ONCE A DUPATTA:
Apart from creating original Artisanal Chikankari, an emerging portfolio of Meiraas is the ZERO WASTE PROJECT.
Read more
- Aimed at up-cycling, re-using, re-purposing absolutely beautiful craft pieces that the artisans are unable to sell for various reasons, like someone got them made on order & then did not buy or the artisan ended up making too fine a piece that they could not price well at their level & sell & is thus lying unused, or fine quality embroidery, but wrong structure of garment, hence unsold & unused. For example this dupatta was made wrongly like a cross between a Kurta Fabric & a Dupatta & ended up being structurally incorrect, though the hand embroidery was absolutely breathtaking.
- Our team curates & acquires them at fair prices from the artisans. It helps them move their inventory too.
- The pieces then arrive at our office in Faridabad, where they are redesigned keeping their work aesthetic in mind & taking out maximum possible from the pieces. While designing, our aim is also to make more versatile & multipurpose pieces, so that the patron can take out the maximum from their investment.
- Once the design palette is finalised, the pieces are shipped to our Gurgaon unit for stitching with trademark Meiraas finish. Since in acquisition pieces we cannot be sure of fabric, we line them with high quality Cotton Fabric, with a unique stitching technique where the fabric outside does not touch your body, and the fabric inside is the only one that is enveloping your body. This ensures that we take care of your skin's health & yet re-use the fabric to the optimum level.

Khayal (Moodboard):
"Chakkalika" is an old Hindi word emanating from Sanskrit language that means Trellis Drapes. These trellis patterns were traditionally woven in a bamboo grass curtain to act as drapes, that mellowed the harshness of the scorching Sun, into a lilting lullaby of an afternoon. Trellis is also a central feature of Chikankari embroidery, right from stitch to pattern, and this blouse fabric is made in the same pattern of interlaced Trellis.
The artisans now call this pattern "Chakaliya Jaal", a word which is a derivative of the ancient Chakkalika. This is how we carry unbroken traditions forward in language, habitat, drapes, crafts, etc.
Poshaak (About the fabric):

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 Flowers 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.

ARTISANAL CHIKANKARI BY MEIRAAS
KHAYAL (mood-board): The outskirts of the historic & charming city of Lucknow are equally beautiful in their rustic charm. These ancient 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 loose 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 up-till sizes S (small) to XXL (Extra Extra Large) only.
