The Tepchi format of this saree has not been kept uniform, as is the case with most bargain basement embroidery cluster workmanship. We have re-designed the Saree format in the lines of a Pure Georgette look saree, with a variety of motif styles on the Palla, increasing the dexterity involved in the work. This helps the artisans break away from the monotony of uniform one motif sarees, by giving them variety to work upon. The saree also has a unique one side heavy border, a novelty in Chikankari sarees. The motifs picked are complex & rarely worked upon.

Khayal (moodboard):"Rajnigandha Collection was born out of my love of 70s effortless and relatable genre of Hindi Cinema, and the look of the heroines of such films, who felt closer to the women in my family & around me – my mother, my aunts, my teachers – all of whom were heroines in their own life, and were changing the societal mindset, to accept women who knew their mind, could go out & work, or homemakers who needed personal time, have a life and defined choices, while taking their family along in this journey. It was an interesting time!! Rajnigandha was especially chosen for Chikankari sarees, because they were heavily worn by women of all age groups in Lucknow, light worked ones and heavier Tepchi ones in pretty sorbet & pastel shades. The collection is also my heart collective, as it involves Artisan Skill Enhancement at each level, along with using good quality handwoven cotton fabric, all of which has completely disappeared from Chikankari everyday sarees."- Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, MeiraasPoshaak (about the saree):
Tepchi Chikankari on Fluid Kota Doria is like a floating dream on a celestial river. The saree has rarely used unique paisley motifs that form the centrepiece design. We have given a very different theme of the Pallu with complex motifs & designing sensibility borrowed from premium pure georgette sarees in Chikankari.
The saree boasts of a one side heavier Palla, a rarity in design sensibility in Chikankari, that was inspired by some handwoven sarees of India. This makes the saree a rare masterpiece in Tepchi Chikankari.
The saree has been finished with crochet lace & sea shell details.
The soft Lemony Yellow hue is soothing to the scorched summer soul, & the Kota is light & airy like a feather.
Styling Tip: Wear these sarees with soothing pearl jewellery or stunning silver, and take these beauties out for lunch, work, brunch, any casual day out.
Imp: Kota Doria Chikankari sarees have lesser width, as soft Kota shrinks with heavy work. We will attach a same colour cotton fabric in the tucking in part seamlessly to provide a ready width of 44 inches, at no additional cost.
