- Artisan Skill Enhancement: The artisan unit that has embroidered this Chikankri Saree had never worked on a saree before or done skilled stitch work. They had never even worked on any pure fabric & only did "shadow" "phanda" stitches for fast moving Chikan goods. Such nuanced work enhanced their skill and gives them better chance of earning more.
- Slow Layout of Embroidery: The embroidery layout is in typical style of an Heirloom saree with more designs and even Shadow work. This breaks away from the allover simple Tepchi embroidery that is the norm of fast moving Chikan work.
- Non Motorised Amber Charkha Spun Fabric yarn.
- Handwoven high count Cotton Saree

- Artisan Skill Enhancement:
- The motifs used in this saree are generally used for Pure Georgette sarees. In the local language of the artisans they called "Pure ka Boota" (meaning expensive motif). The motifs generally used for everyday Cotton Sarees are unskilled and are referred to as "chaalu kaam" (basic work) in their local parlance. The usage of this motif gave them an opportunity to work upon designs that they generally never get, thereby enhancing their skill set.
- Jaali Stitch - fast vanishing from all artisans skill set, the Jaali stitch now remains a cynosure of premium Chikankari units only. The bargain basement embroidery market has completely devolved the artisan skill in Chikankari. We got them back to practising Jaali stitch by commissioning the same on Rajnigandha saree. (please refer to last image for reference, as initial photos did not have Jaali. The last image is taken indoors with mobile phone to show jaali).

- Artisan Skill Enhancement:
- 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.

The Sustainability Quotient (SQ):
1. Upcycled Blouse (this blouse is made out of a Rajnigandha Saree that had a minor flaw while embroidering by the artisan. We did not let the precious work go waste & paid the artisan appropriately for their work. However since we could not sell the garment as a saree, we made beautiful Blouses from the fabric instead.) If these blouses generate good demand, then we can make them on order as well, thereby creating a new product & another revenue stream for the artisans and us.
2. Bio Washed : Washed without using Acid in Mother Gomati river; the fabric was washed in our facility in Gurgaon using Natural Ingredients. The water used in washing was later boiled & filtered and re used in small odd jobs or mopping of floors.3. Masterclass tailoring: Blouse is well lined & has sufficient margins to enable alterations, which allows us making less pieces & catering to more demand.
KHAYAL (moodboard):
"Not all rebel without a cause; not all rebellion is aggressive in its tone. I have always been a silent rebel while growing up. What does that mean? I am absolutely fine with following handed down traditions, yet I will love to alter patterns to suit a more current or versatile way of thinking & living; an approach that is all inclusive and increases happiness and wholesomeness. If life should be like this, then why not clothes, that form an integral & inseparable part of everyday life, the faces of our personalities. I brought my silent rebellion to my design table when I found Meiraas. Maybe this is the reason why today in such a short span and amidst burgeoning competition I keep getting messages that applaud the clearly differentiated look of Meiraas Chikankari or Shibori or Mukaish, and yet marvel at the core essence of the craft that remains as it is - A rebel, but one with a cause.Â
This Crop Top, was crafted with flirty flared Kota sleeves and a sweetheart neckline. The idea was to create a typically cottagecore Top that transcends beautifully from Western Wear to Indian Traditional Wear, something more versatile and inclusive. Something you can slip on with shorts and colourful scarves or lace with strings of pearls & wear with a saree - a wholesome approach to include crafts in more versatile ways to ensure their longevity" - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas
POSHAAK (about the dress): The Cotton Silk Blouse is upcycled from a freshly embroidered Rajnigandha Saree that was unfortunately torn in the process of making, from one corner. We created a completely new category out of it, without wasting the precious embroidery and human hours invested in the creating the dainty embroidery, with this essential blouse. It is natural white colour of Kota Doria with beautiful embroidery. The Blouse is fully lined in the body with soft Cotton lining to give a good fall & fit. The sleeves are left unlined, gossamer & fun. The hook loops are at the back. The neck is sweetheart and shows off the décolletage beautifully.

KHAYAL (moodboard):Â "I watched Rajnigandha as a child and was extremely enamoured by Vidya Sinha ji's simplicity & yet her grace and elan. I have often talked on Meiraas Instagram about her "Classic White Blouse" that she paired with many printed & coloured sarees. It was just like the basic white button down we grew up treating as essential in our Corporate Wardrobes. I wanted to create many versions of Vidya ji's classic white style, & this one is a more elegant Cotton Silk version with allover embroidery that can be paired with colourful cotton or pastel cotton silks or even jewel coloured silks to balance them out." - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Design, Meiraas
