Hand me down Heirloom Chikankari saree

Khayal (Moodboard): The month of Chaitra (roughly March mid to April mid), is one with Pink summers setting in, where the air is still free of the upcoming scorching heat, and the coolness of the winter months gone by, make the mornings and evenings very pleasant. It is a month, where the Earth, especially in Northern plains of India, springs the most beautiful blossoms all around. The most prominent amongst them are tall Kaner bushes, with stunning Pink blossoms all over them, weighing the delicate boughs down in their sweet ambrosia. These Kaner flowers are also known as Chaitra Gulaab, as their appearance is similar to roses, and colour is a stunning Pink. When reflected against a cornflower blue sky, and with other blossoms filling up all garden spaces, they make a meadow in any city, town or village. In Lucknow, they are a common sight, and one that fills the heart with joy. Coupled with these are the tiny mangoes on tree boughs, that promise to soon grow into large vats of heavenly nectar. Together, they make Chaitra Upvan an oasis to cherish. This is the Khayal that defines this saree the best. Poshaak (about the saree): This is a saree fit for a Vault Collective. The saree Pallu itself has 14 unique embroidery patterns; please note that this adds intricacy & complexity in the work & thus makes it more premium. Even the corner most areas of the saree has nuanced details The body is all over painstakingly embroidered with unique embroidery patterns.

Meiraas created unique Flight of the Pigeons motif
Mukaish Hand Embroidery done with all heritage processes intact
Pure Georegtte Silk fabric

KHAYAAL (moodboard): This collection of sarees was originally designed, keeping in mind, the timeless glamour look of 1950s sarees of Mukaish. From Queens like Maharani Gayatri Devi, who wore much subtler version and colours of these, to legendary singers like Begum Akhtar who wore deeper & richer colours, albeit simple Mukaish, but done allover..to Bollywood heroines of that era who wore much heavier Mukaish (as most films were black & white and they wanted embroidery to show even in that camera), the timelessness of Mukaish embroidery in that era inspired these sarees. Even then, most of these sarees were made on Pure Georgette fabric to give a luxurious fall. POSHAAK (about the saree): This lovely deep wine coloured saree has Mukaish hand embroidery all over. The palla has the Meiraas Exclusive motif of Kabootarbaazi (Flight of the Pigeons), in a flight pattern on the palla. The saree is rich with detailing of these motifs which are very difficult to create using Daana Mukaish. The subtle & classy appeal of this saree enables it to worn to cocktail events in weddings as well as jazz evenings or formal dinner dates, by simple change of accessories.

Seamless Margins inside to make a more long lasting Kurta, which is a rarity in ready to wear.

KHAYAL: Moodboard "When you think of Chikankari, you invariably think of the Classic white on White. There is an ethereal charm of tone on tone Chikankari, that seems like a whisper of the soul whose hands embellished the fine fabric. They carry the joy, the tears, the stories, the candour that the artisans share, while the needles bring alive each Flower, Knot, Trellis; but how much more beautiful would it be, if this whisper was instead on Gold. It would be probably reminiscent of the Jama, that the Royals of yore used to wear, something that is today exclusively housed in very prestigious Textiles museums of the World. For me, as a designer and a connoisseur, it is heart wrenching to see beautiful embroidery housed in a Museum, to be gawped at, but designated to a fate where it shall never be part of someone else’s story. Shahi Paan Kurta is our endeavour from The Art and Antiquities Project of Meiraas, for which we travel through museums, seek crafts in Temples and study Historical archived images, so that the Queens in us can make these designs a part of our unique story again." - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas. POSHAAK: About the outfit 2 Taar Resham Chikankari Kurta on Handwoven Gold Zari Silk Fabric. The back of the kurta has Shahi Paan statement motif. The front has Bijli Boota revival motif.

Dhanlakshami Chikankari Sarees, The Wedding Collective

TaamraLakshami

₹55,000.00

This saree is Ready To Ship. THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):-

Resham Chikankari (Hand Embroidery Practised Since Ancient Age).
Hand Picked Ancient Archived Motifs.
Conceptual and Exclusive Chikankari Artwork on Zari Silk fabric.
Handloom Zari Silk fabric.
Museum quality Chikankari sarees that can be handed down generation to generation as a treasure.

The saree reflects light back, making it impossible to work in full light, hence it needs perfect light setting in a room and extremely skilled artisans to make it.
Such fabric requires enormous dexterity and a very fine level of craftsmanship, therefore the number of artisans working on it are just 1-2 only. This means it takes more time than other sarees
Zari Taar Jaali work is extremely difficult to do on this saree; Cutting jaali by hand is a difficult and time consuming process as it is (this is why its artisans are reducing, as they demand better wages for the time and skill, which popular market is unwilling to pay). Cutting a jaali using Zari Taar filament is the toughest level, as the Zari Taar is not visible to the naked eye easily. In this case Zari Taar has been used to cut Jaali on full Zari Silk saree, making it the toughest level. This obviously commands time and best wages for the artisans involved.

Words will fall short in the praise of this exquisite beauty of a saree!! Some of these motifs are centuries old, and some freshly carved looking at centuries old motifs. A rare piece of Art. The unique Red Gold colour of the saree with Red embroidery makes it stunning, regal and a timeless heirloom that you would like to pass on generation after generation. The drape of this saree is breathtaking; rich and very form fitting and supple, making it ideal for all body types. We will also provide a 1 metre running Chikankari embroidered Tussar Silk blouse piece in Red colour as part of the saree. P.S: If you are noticing dark patches anywhere in the pictures, then that is the Zari reflecting the light back to the camera, and this is not present on the saree. Avoid moisture seeping into such sarees. Always store them in a dry place and in the Meiraas bag we deliver them in. Keep opening Silk Sarees in every 6 months and changing its folds. The saree is 41.5 inches in width, in case you want increase in the width of the saree, please drop us a mail at namaste@meiraas.com . We will add a coloured fabric seamlessly on the tucking in area to give you your desired width.

KHAYAAL (Mood-board): The Khayal or Aatmamanthan behind keeping this collection under the name Dhanlakshmi was very clear. We wanted to make a repository of Heirloom Sarees, where we can create colours and palettes that signify the opulence of Sri Lakshmi. After successfully venturing into Gold, Silver hues, and Pearl, Firoza, Precious stones like Tourmaline, Agate hues, we wanted to include Gemstone shades. Our lands are blessed with a variety of natural minerals and gemstones that have immense energy stored within them. Formed under the envelope of Bhoodevi's (Earth) womb, they radiate and reflect back her energy and lend them to the wearer. Our Chanderi sarees, adorned with heirloom quality Chikankari, are named after these soft and deeply spiritual stones. Chandramani or Moonstone is a beautiful grey silver hued sometimes clear, sometimes cloudy to opaque looking gemstone. This beautiful Grey rich Chikankari Tussar Silk saree with antique quality embroidery in white Resham, is the perfect connect to that emotion with us, that resonates with carrying forward a revered Textile Tradition. POSHAAK (About the garment): Chandramani, as the name suggests is a soothing Grey Chikankari Tussar Silk saree, that glows radiant like the soft & soothing glow of the Moon. We decided to use White Resham embroidery on this saree, to symbolise Bela and Motiya blossoms under the soft Moon Glow in the festive months. The signature motif used here is a lovely Floral creeper that has stunning Zari Taar Jaali stitch. Rest of the motif is done using Shadow, Ghaspatti, Chanapatti, Keel, Phanda etc. The saree has a detailed border running all through the saree, and the signature motif rests on the palla, as well as one of them also rests on the shoulder, like a brooch. The saree is filled with little Bela blossoms in white. Stars of Mukaish add to the deeply beautiful charm of this saree. It is an unconventional colour for festive and wedding season, and yet one that will stand out gracefully, with a stately charm. Saree is further finished with Kingri gota lace in silver, and we will also provide a 1 metre approx. running blouse piece.
