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.
