KHAYAL (moodboard): Elinor Dashwood is one of the lead protagonists in Jane Austen's 1811 classic, Sense & Sensibility. While the younger Dashwood sister, Marianne, is celebrated popularly, for her free spirited & innocent character, Elinor is the quiet and responsible older sister, with a lot of depth of character. Her story, and her being a pillar of support for her family, in adverse situations, shows her silent strength. This was our inspiration behind creating this soft, yet impactful and beautiful dupatta.
POSHAAK (about the dupatta): White Chikankari Kota Doria dupatta with Powder Blue delicate Tepchi Chikankari embroidery allover, showcases the character spirit of Elinor Dashwood. Slow, quiet & very subtle, yet with an impactful presence, just like this beautiful dupatta.
The dupatta is perfect for the scorching summers, & can be paired with many neutral coloured outfits. It is delicate and ethereal.

Even better, when it is a Chikankari Kaftan Top.
This Kaftan Top has perfect length to enable wearing it with pants (same colour or white), & even wear it standalone to a beach resort.

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.

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.
