TaamraLakshami

TaamraLakshami

₹55,000.00
This saree is Ready To Ship. THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):-
  • Resham Chikankari (Hand Embroidery Practised Since Ancient Age).
  • Hand Picked Ancient Archived Motifs.
  • Conceptual and Exclusive Chikankari Artwork on Zari Silk fabric.
  • Handloom Zari Silk fabric.
  • Museum quality Chikankari sarees that can be handed down generation to generation as a treasure.
KHAYAAL (Mood-board): The Khayal or Aatmamanthan behind keeping this collection under the name Dhanlakshmi was very clear. We wanted to make a repository of Heirloom Sarees, where we can create colours and palettes that signify the opulence of Sri Lakshmi. After our series of metallic sarees of Swarna Lakshmi (Gold), Rajat Lakshmi (Silver), Krishna Lakshmi (Black Gold), we are now introducing, TaamraLakshmi, signifying the 3rd most important metal in our culture, Copper. The celebration of metal names is deeply spiritual, in accordance to the deity they are ascribed to, i.e., Sri Lakshmi. We wish the radiance of Sri Lakshmi, who visits deserving households during Deepawali, to bring them prosperity and wholesome progress. TaamraLakshami is a stunning Red Gold Zari Silk Chikankari saree, with Red Resham embroidery, a piece de resistance, and one that creates new Heirlooms and Textile Traditions. POSHAAK (About the garmemt): The stunning TaamraLakshami, is embroidered with extremely delicate and prized stitches of Conceptual Chikankari Art work. The palla features a combination of two antique miniature floral motifs. Along with that a delicate and detailed circular floral motif is placed along the length of the palla and has stunning embroidery of Zari Taar Jaali (extremely difficult to do on this fabric), murri, keel, ghaaspatti, phanda, zanjeera, rahet etc. It is extremely difficult to work on full Zari Silk sarees, because of many reasons:
  1. The saree reflects light back, making it impossible to work in full light, hence it needs perfect light setting in a room and extremely skilled artisans to make it.
  2. Such fabric requires enormous dexterity and a very fine level of craftsmanship, therefore the number of artisans working on it are just 1-2 only. This means it takes more time than other sarees
  3. Zari Taar Jaali work is extremely difficult to do on this saree; Cutting jaali by hand is a difficult and time consuming process as it is (this is why its artisans are reducing, as they demand better wages for the time and skill, which popular market is unwilling to pay). Cutting a jaali using Zari Taar filament is the toughest level, as the Zari Taar is not visible to the naked eye easily. In this case Zari Taar has been used to cut Jaali on full Zari Silk saree, making it the toughest level. This obviously commands time and best wages for the artisans involved.
Words will fall short in the praise of this exquisite beauty of a saree!! Some of these motifs are centuries old, and some freshly carved looking at centuries old motifs. A rare piece of Art. The unique Red Gold colour of the saree with Red embroidery makes it stunning, regal and a timeless heirloom that you would like to pass on generation after generation. The drape of this saree is breathtaking; rich and very form fitting and supple, making it ideal for all body types. We will also provide a 1 metre running Chikankari embroidered Tussar Silk blouse piece in Red colour as part of the saree. P.S: If you are noticing dark patches anywhere in the pictures, then that is the Zari reflecting the light back to the camera, and this is not present on the saree. Avoid moisture seeping into such sarees. Always store them in a dry place and in the Meiraas bag we deliver them in. Keep opening Silk Sarees in every 6 months and changing its folds. The saree is 41.5 inches in width, in case you want increase in the width of the saree, please drop us a mail at namaste@meiraas.com . We will add a coloured fabric seamlessly on the tucking in area to give you your desired width.

Paan holds not just aesthetic value for us, but it is also considered auspicious due to its various health benefits. The betel leaf is enjoyed amongst all sections of society, and has especially been patronised by the Royals of Lucknow. Shahi Paan, which was akin to Art rolled inside the auspicious Betel Leaf, had the paan makers of that time apply the best of their culinary expertise to create a gilauri that was worthy of the Deity of the temple, which later travelled to Royal courts. This gilauri was especially wrapped with hand beaten pure silver foil called Warq. Our Shahi Paan motif & the kalgi adorning atop it, is an homage to those Royal Beedas of the ancient past that are still in existence. POSHAAK (about the dress): Shahi Paan natural Tussar Silk kurta has a stunning statement back of Paan and Kalgi motif, all archival motifs, that can be seen displayed in National Crafts Museum, New Delhi.

Jasmine flowers motifs adorn the front of the kurta, making it a regal & subtle piece that is perfect for Festivities & Weddings. The kurta is paired with Glazed Cotton pants in the same shade. It adds depth & character to classic Chikankari, & makes it a novelty, without taking away from the core essence of the craft. Additional Details: The Kurta is Made on Order only. Please feel free to give your custom sizing (please specify body or garment sizing), in case you don't find your perfect fit in our size chart.

Airavat has been a part of many Dev Asur battles, and has a significant presence in our Pauranic lores. The idea to introduce Pauranic creatures in Chikankari, was birthed basis an 18th Century swatch of Sri Lakshmi goddess in Chikankari, housed in National Museum, New Delhi.

Ratna Mayur

Ratna Mayur

₹56,500.00
This saree is Made On Order only. Please email us at namaste@meiraas.com for colour or fabric customisation The grand Mayur motif of Yakshi Shwet saree, finds a new look in this glorious handloom Mulberry Silk saree with Resham Chikankari, depicting a pair of Peacocks enclosed inside a window. The perfect saree that takes inspiration from the subtle embroidered sarees of the past, and allows the fine quality workmanship and the glow of the saree to create the magic of Slow Fashion. THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ): 1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery on absolutely novel motif art. 2. 200 year old Mayur heritage hand carved motif. 3. Handloom Mulberry Silk. 4. Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book. KHAYAL (Mood-board): In Meiraas, we treat our Chikankari sarees as a canvas, on which we display our expressions or Khayal, via heritage hand embroidery. Ratna Mayur saree is an expression evolved over our many travels throughout the country, where the elegant peacocks are a common sight to behold. It is amazing how much joy the mere sight of a peacock can bring, to lift up even the most bleak days one could be facing. No wonder, this elegant bird is attached to our Divinity, and also accosted the status of our National Bird. The interplay of Golden Yellow base with Firozi Peacocks came to us from various fort paintings all across Rajasthan. Since most of these personal travels happened during our winter breaks,  we especially wanted to create a symposium of all these reveries, into one saree. The saree base was kept as Golden Yellow to indicate the pleasant softness of winter sun in North India. POSHAAK (About the garment): This handloom Mulberry Silk saree has a buttery yellow hue, that is accentuated with Firozi Resham Chikankari embroidery to bring out the colour on colour interplay of the craft, that is usually known for monotone look. The palla has a grand window made of border floral Bel. Inside this window, we have embroidered two Peacocks, making a lover's knot, poetically. Stitches of Ghaaspatti, Zari Taar ki Jaali, Hool, Bijli, amongst other stitches, create this visual poetry. The rest of the palla has an interplay of miniature peacock motifs, along with floral motifs. It is a very rich texture saree with stunning work, and is finished with crochet lace in the colour of the embroidery.

Stunning Resham Chikankari saree on Tussar Silk fabric, with archival quality embroidery & antique motifs! This signature saree of Meiraas is Made on Order only. Please email us at namaste@meiraas.com for colour and fabric customisation. THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):

  • Antique & re-created archival motifs used for the Chikankari
  • Hand carved Chikankari blocks used
  • Mukaish detailing following all processes
  • Handloom Tussar Silk fabric
  • Hand Dyed in high quality pigments
- KHAYAAL (moodboard): The Khayal or Aatmamanthan behind keeping this collection under the name Dhanlakshmi was very clear, we wanted to make a repository of Heirloom Sarees, where we can create colours & palettes that signify the opulence of Sri Lakshmi. After successfully venturing into Gold, Silver hues, and Pearl, Firoza, Precious stones like Tourmaline, Agate hues, we wanted to include Gemstone shades. Even as we though about it, it was amply clear to us that this is only possible on Tussar Silk from Bhagalpur looms. Tussar Silk is one of the most perfect fabrics for antique quality Chikankari; it is appropriately supple, tenacious, luminous at the same time, & yet it's earthy texture provides a rich background for elegant stitches of Chikankari, and in gemstones colour we want. Harinmani is Sanskrit word for Emerald. This beautiful light Emerald saree is an Heirloom Piece for your wardrobe, that will create the wearer's own heritage till they wear it, that they can hand down to generations that will love to showcase it in a private viewing perhaps!! POSHAAK (about the saree): Harinmani is our first set of Dhanlakshami Chikankari saree on Handspun and Handwoven Tussar Silk, a dream that we had been working on for past 2 years. The pallu has very old archived motifs, re created recently in our unit. The stitched used are of 3 broad quality: Embossing, Surface Texture and Hand CutWork. The palla has a rare quality of “ulti bakhiya” or Reverse Shadow that is now used extremely less, as higher embroidery filament count and “chaalu/rough” embroidery style started making it look very vulgar; but with the fine handwork that Meiraas employs and 2 taar Resham Chikankari, the result is stunning, rare and exquisite. The stars of Mukaish anoint this saree strategically. If the palla is viewed from the top, it gives the impression of an ancient, well laid out city!!!
