Beautiful Mukaish Kurta Fabric on Leheriya, accompanied by a dupatta to make one of a kind set that harks to the antique Awadhi Couture style, when ladies of the erstwhile royal kingdom, wore Leheriya adorned with Mukaish embroidery! This piece however has travelled to 3 Indian states to complete its journey
The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
Mukaish Hand Embroidery in Honeycomb pattern following all processes from 'kadhai' (embroidery) to 'ghutaai' (rubbing of embroidery using glass bottle to set it) done by artisan cluster of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
Leheriya hand resist tie & dye done by artisan cluster of Rajasthan.
Handloom Chanderi fabric woven by weaver cluster in Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh.
Re creation of an archival style of Craft Confluence, prevalent in Nawab Era.
KHAYAL (mood-board): The Honeycomb reflects nature's best lesson of Singularity Pattern - there is always a loop left open from where the possibility to Re-Start exists!! Isn't that thought reflective of Human Power of Resilience? The Hive Mind. The Collective Consciousness. When done on the Leheriya pattern, that denotes Sands of Time, it creates a profound wearable art, and one that was very much worn in late 17th Century too!
POSHAAK (about the garment): The Kurta fabric is Leheriya pattern in beautiful hues of Lime Green. On top of this, honeycomb pattern Mukaish embroidery has been done, that enhances the beauty of this artisanal fabric. The dupatta is plain Chanderi with Mukaish in Lime Green, to help break the monotony and keep the attention on the tunic.
We will stitch the kurta for you, if you desire.
NOTE: STITCHING OF KURTA IS COMPLIMENTARY. We will stitch straight Kurta only with allover soft high quality cotton lining & in our set Kurta Style (Please check Flax Cotton Chikankari Kurta to see style of stitching only). You can also opt for Fabric Only. Mention your size as per uploaded size chart in the Checkout note.
IMP: The fabric is hand tied & dyed Leheriya, hence the colour will be non uniform. That is the nature and the charm of the craft. The dupatta will be closest match, as that is single dyed and not Leheriya. This is the unique charm of an artisanal piece.

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.
