"Chaap Tilak" from which we have borrowed the words Rang Deenhi is a poem by Aamir Khusrou composed in 14th Century. This poem is the few he composed in Awadhi language. Rang Deenhi (coloured me) is an Awadhi term that denotes absolute surrender in love. The love can be for a person or an energy, but the feeling is of absolute and unconditional surrender to the love. Taking inspiration, we have created original Shibori motifs from Ancient Indian Flower Art palette, a design breakthrough in Indian style of Shibori. The colour palette is kept Soft, Deep, Vibrant to symbolise shades of love.

"Panchtantra was a collection of Chanderi sarees I conceptualised & designed in 2018, & executed somewhere in 2019. I wanted to introduce the iconography of the tales of Panchtantra I had grown up reading & whose learning I always imbibed in me. Sutradhaar was a saree added to the Panchtantra collection, and depicts a Golden Tree of Wisdom with small birds that often in Panchtantra tales, act as story narrators of Sutradhaar.

I wanted to introduce the iconography of the tales of Panchtantra I had grown up reading & whose learning I always imbibed in me. The Kachua Khargosh (The Hare & The Tortoise) story is relevant even today & especially poignant for Sustainable Ventures. Even today, so many start ups want to take the leap of the Hare, & yet the Sustainable businesses should always be slow & steady like the Tortoise " - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas

The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
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.
