Barfi Mukaish Heirloom Full Jaal Tussar Silk Dupatta
₹16,500.00
Golden Trellis is our heirloom collection of Mukaish work that was historically done once upon a time in Awadh region, but is not done any more. Golden Trellis is a result of, one of the many research projects we are working upon simultaneously. We know some might not see light of the day (although we firmly believe that everything can be revived if we just have the right patience and the will to keep going), some will prove to be false tales - a mirage of a narrative built for dramatic value and nothing more...but some, like Golden Trellis will be a reality that can be translated to fabric yet again, even if in a small way, even if a shadow of its one time glory...at least there will be a start.
Golden Trellis is part of the Art & Antiquities Project undertaken by Meiraas.

- Heirloom Full Jaal Mukaish: While Mukaish as a craft has mostly now become an embellishment to Chikankari, we at Meiraas have been trying consistently, to introduce this beautiful craft in all its individual glory, & in more heritage yet functional ways to wear it, to increase the longevity and heirloom value of each piece. Mukaish Jaal Dupattas on Silk are stand alone Heirloom Dupattas, that are versatile to be paired with any Kurta.
- Mukaish Hand Embroidery with proper "ghutaai" - this means Mukaish embroidery has been rubbed using old technique of filling pebbles in a bottle and rubbing on the embroidery, instead of new age roller press method. This one method ensures long lasting Mukaish. In itself Mukaish is more sustainable craft that sequins or "salma sitaara" embroidery, as Mukaish never comes off, maintaing the look of the garment for much longer time.
- Handspun Handwoven Tussar Silk: Thigh reeled, Handspun, Handwoven soft Tussar Silk from the looms of Bhagalpur, Bihar has been used as a base for these dupattas.

Yellow Green Bengal Cotton Saree
₹4,200.00
"When i had started wearing sarees, my first inhibition was that they are uncomfortable to drape, carry and not functional in day to day work. This myth was successfully busted by Bengal Handwoven Cottons. Fluid & dreamy and easy to drape, i started wearing them to my Corporate office (HBO). I was met with awed looks (after asking it the day was "special"). Gradually my office colleagues back then got used to seeing me in a saree, which was a refreshing change from the multitude of fast fashion mall tops & pants. The ladies in my office would tell me how much they admire the simple and impactful sarees that look romantic and comfortable, & how their sarees are only wedding trousseau sarees, all unwearable, and packed in their trunks. Bengal Cottons thus remains close to my heart. If any one has to start wearing sarees they must choose from Bengal first" - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas

Yellow Mellow Shibori Kota Silk
₹4,500.00
"One of my favourite things to do when on vacation is to walk on rustly leaves that have fallen from the trees. Yellow & Orange leaves forming a soft carpet to lightly tread upon with silence all around, broken only by the mellow sighting of a singing thrush or gurgling of a water body. Kota Silk is dear to me as unlike Doria it rustles more due to Silk yarn. While the sarees are soft and light to drape, they feel distinctly different from Kota Doria. I have dressed my own Kota Silks with polki jewellery always. While i receive compliments on how easily i carry weaves that normally one does not wear to family gatherings, I smile thinking of my walk on the carpet of the freshly fallen foliage. As they carpet our walk, they also remind us that new life is germinating on the bare branches above" - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas
Shibori tie & dye Kota Silk saree with Zari Border details. Lightweight beautiful saree perfect for summer wear & office wear.
Note: All Meiraas products are made on Ethically sourced fabrics. This saree is made in AZO free dye that is environment sensitive.

What is Desi Tussar?
In India, mainly 4 varieties of silk are produced - Tussar, Eri, Mulberry, Muga. Out of these, Mulberry Silk is cultivated silk, whereas the rest 3 silks are Wild silks. This is an important distinction, this means yarn for the wild silks are obtained from indigenous silk worm species feeding on wild forest tree leaves. Tussar Silk yarn is extracted from silk worms that feed on wild forest trees and has a natural golden glow. Its weaving is centred mainly in Bihar, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh. Please note like all Tussar Silk, this is Wild Silk, handspun, thigh reeled and Handwoven. Desi Tussar is just a colloquial term used by weavers of Bhagalpur, Bihar to indicate towards the purest variety of woven Tussar Silk yardage. The same fabric and process will be called Kosa Silk if woven in Chattisgarh. The silk you are seeing here is therefore the purest variety of Handloom Tussar Silk. Desi Tussar term is just used here for colloquial purpose.

Chandrakala
₹60,000.00
FROM THE VAULT COLLECTIVE
Chandrakala is our final firm foray into the World of Aari & Zardozi art of Lucknow. We always wanted to do this art, but only for Museum Quality wearable art pieces, & nothing less!! Chandrakala is just that.
KHAYAL (moodboard):
Chandrakala, or the art of crafting Moon, is a labour of extensive research we did before launching this Vault Collective Zardozi Dupatta, crafted in Lucknow. We visited the museums of Jaipur, & in one of them saw a Red silk odhani, with Moons crafted on it with Real Gold dabka wires. The antique dupatta was torn at some places, telling stories of a once glorious past, but was carefully preserved in the Museum. It was reaching out to us with a gaze that was almost saying "Resurrect Me!!". That was the moment we decided this will be our first Zardozi Dupatta. We could not photograph the Dupatta, & neither creating the exact replica was in our minds. We did have a Chikankari motif, an old one, that had a beautiful Chaand border (see here Chaand Mayur Dhanlakshami Chanderi Saree). We decided to re create a format of that antique motif that was so reminiscent of the Maharani's Dupatta we saw, that we made a Zardozi "khaaka" out of it. The fabric used was pure Handwoven Tussar Silk to create that Regal journey!! - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, MeiraasÂ
POSHAAK (about the saree):
Chandrakala Dupatta is made on Handwoven Tussar Silk that is certified by Silk Mark of India. The fabric is supple and perfect to hold and add to the grace of the regal work on it. The border is embroidered with a beautiful & unique Chaand Border (read above), and has been embroidered using both Silver & Golden Dabka wires. The Dabka is extremely fine quality, please use Zoom to see the intricate detailing. The 4 side heavy border is complemented with small flower bootis in the body. To take this further, the dupatta is finished with Handwoven Gold Pure Zari Silk selvedge detailing, to make it one of a kind outstanding Dupatta.
It is perfect as a one time investment to take on Lehengas, Kurtas, as a Light Shawl on sarees. This is a perfect gift for a new Bride as well, she will cherish it forever and pass on her legacy to her future generations.
Important: 1 Dupatta is Ready to Ship.
