Through this entry range collection of ours, we want you to step into the oasis of slow summer living of yesteryears that we are all trying to bring back collectively!! POSHAAK (about the product): Nawabi is a tunic designed taking references from Bengal style neckline that was very much in vogue right uptil 70s. Largely used for mens' fashion in the past, we have made the design gender neutral by creating it for women. This is self woven pattern (Jaquard) Pure Cotton Chikankari Kurta with beautiful chanapatti, shadow, phanda (hand cutwork) stitches, with Mother of Pearl button detailing. The shade of the Kurta: ECRU What is ECRU? Ecru is an un-White colour; meaning a white that has subtle hint of another colour. At Meiraas, we are exploring an un-White colour palette, and Ecru is a colour we have successfully replicated after many trials on fabric samples. Ecru is generally of two kind - White with hint of olive green, White with hint of olive brown. While both Ecru are ethereal, we lean more towards the green tint; so summer fresh and elegant.

Rare Hand Embroidery: Nuanced Tepchi Hand Embroidery using Resham Thread

KHAYAL (moodboard): Jane Eyre (1847) is an English Classic Novel penned by Charlotte Bronte under her pseudonym Currer Bell. Jane Eyre is an extremely moving story of an orphan who, despite the bleakness of her situation in life, aspires & hopes to find life, light & love, and eventually through her own journey finds everything she wished for. Her chance for hope is symbolised by lemon yellow embroidery (colour of hope), against the coldness of white. This dupatta is Jane Eyre. POSHAAK (about the dupatta): White Handloom Kota Dupatta embroidered with stark lemon yellow delicate Tepchi Chikankari in floral pattern. Last image is taken against a backlight. Imp: Colours may vary a bit, although they are all shot professionally in studio set up & closest colour has been photographed; Any variation can be due to digital medium of photography that is outside our control.
