Tulip Royale Ensemble | Ocean
₹34,300.00
This Ensemble is Made On Order only. Please select your size & we will stitch it complimentary.
Meiraas Exclusive Chikankari motif, Tulip Royale & Miniature Frame, has been conceptualised into an ensemble. It’s a novel art in Chikankari, introduced by Meiraas.
The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery on Exclusive motif art by Meiraas
2. Exclusive & Rare Conceptual Chikankari Embroidery, with masterclass Jaali work
3. Handloom Chanderi & Pure Organza Silk (for dupatta)
4. Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book.
KHAYAL (mood-board):
Tulips have captured the mind space of Art connoisseurs alike the World Over. Maybe its alluring form is the reason, or their vibrant colours, but the elegant and beautiful Tulips find themselves as the centrepiece in many works of Art, including Textiles, where they have a dominating presence in some cultures.
In Chikankari, we wanted these celebrated blossoms to be represented too, as the craft seems to be made for them. Our visit to a Tulip Show in New Delhi, in February of 2024, solidified this dream.
POSHAAK (about the dress):
The intertwined pair of Tulips find their romantic adaptation in Chikankari, through Tulip Royale ensemble.
The front panel & sleeves has the Tulip Royale motif patterned heavily all through, creating a beautiful tone on tone effect in Ocean Blue shade of the Handloom Chanderi kurta.
The back of the Kurta has the Tulip Royale encased inside a miniature oval frame motif, to show the allure of the blossom & its representation in Art. This motif has the rarest 3D embroidery, & the first of its kind in Chikankari.
The complete oval miniature motif has been embroidered with Qasab Taar jaali, possibly the largest surface to have Jaali stitch in. The tulip encased inside this frame has other Chikankari stitches like Orma, Bijli & Shadow.
The Jaali embroidery changes the shade of the Blue of the miniature oval, while the blue of the portions where Shadow embroidery is done have another hue; then again, the flower area with Orma stitch is darker and different blue from the Jaali & Stalk part of the embroidery. This enables 3 subtly changed shades of Blue, achieved via masterclass embroidery technique.
The dupatta is Organza Silk with Tulip Motif Chikankari miniature boota scattered and Mukaish dots added all over. It adds to the ethereal charm of the whole ensemble.
If you wish to add plain Glazed Cotton pants in same shade to match, you can select the same from Glazed Cotton Plain Pants and in Customer Note mention: Please make Pants to match the selected set. We will do the needful
This post has Dupatta & Kurta (stitching & slip is complimentary). Pants can be added extra, as explained above.

Kabootarbaazi (Pigeon flying) is inherent to the culture of Lucknow and Awadh. Whether romanced in Ruskin Bond’s period novella “A Flight of the Pigeons” or appearing aesthetically in Ray’s “Shatranj ke Khiladi”, Pigeons and the skyline of Lucknow is synonymous with each other.

Dance of the Cranes Luxe | Grape
₹22,500.00
This kurta is Made on order only. Please select your size from the size chart given & we will stitch the same accordingly.
Meiraas Bestseller Resham Chikankari design since its first launch in 2018, the Power of Silence, Dance of the Cranes motif has been one of our most requested motifs. This is the original Luxe version of the kurta with heavy motif work all through.
The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery on absolutely novel motif art.
2. Exclusive Dance of the Cranes Meiraas motifs carved following all processes.
3. Handloom Chanderi
4. Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book.
KHAYAL (mood-board):
The outskirts of the historic & charming city of Lucknow are equally beautiful in their rustic charm. These ancient Indo Gangetic plains are lush with greenery & boasts of one of World's oldest agrarian civilisation. Watching the emerald landscape of Awadh is a surreal experience, even more so in winters when dotted with the migratory bird population, the most notable of these being the Siberian Cranes, that never enter the city Lucknow, but stay just outside, especially in Nawabgunj Bird Sanctuary. With this concept in mind, we wanted to design motifs that glide in the night sky in a Yin & Yang appeal; we found the desirable art style of these motifs, very surprisingly, in Japan. The ancient Japanese Art style is dramatically circular in design, & it is here that we found our serendipity, the right manner to display the Nawabgunj Cranes. The motif of Chikankari is an exclusive design of Meiraas launched in 2018. Borrowing from Japanese palette, we designed the motifs keeping Chikankari stitches in mind, that best romance the gliding flight of the Siberian Cranes.
POSHAAK (about the dress):
The cranes are falling, gliding, flying & finally in a circular Dance of Love at the statement back, in this Meiraas Exclusive Kurta made on Handloom Chanderi. This Grape coloured kurta has tone on tone embroidery of the Cranes on Handloom Chanderi fabric, with their beaks & eyes highlighted with black thread detailing.
The work is very heavy on front panel & sleeves, compared to the regular Dance of the Cranes design, with the back having the eternal Dance of Love motif, accompanied my celestial Lotus motif all through. It is truly a grand dress.

Flowers, leaves and fruits, together form the symphony of a pleasure garden. They symbolise the rule of nature that signals budding, flowering and fruiting, to complete the natural cycle of birth and re-birth.
This Cherry motif is an elegant fruit & leaf motif, that is part of a bigger motif all three live giving energies of a plant.

Konia Boota Woollen Shawl
Konia Boota shawl with diagonally placed corner motif or classic Konia embroidery on pure Merino Wool. A luxurious statement for elegant winters!
The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery.
2. Antique motif art & layout created using hand carved motifs following all processes.
3. Chikankari on Pure Wool - A shawl to cherish & hand down over generations
4. Gender Fluid
KHAYAL (mood-board):
Chikankari has been seen as the summer wear for the past 100-150 years or so. However, the embroidery in itself, has enough mettle to be practised with perfect finesse on various fabrics. This has been the endeavour of Meiraas since our inception.
We wanted to make this Craft more fluid to other seasons as well, as Chikankari represents the silent art of tone on tone classic beauty, that is endearing to almost everyone in every season. It speaks of class, elegance, discerning taste and grace. Its foray into Shawls was more ordained than ever imagined.
We had started working on Chikankari Shawls since 2017, but the perfecting of its form happened now.
It is no surprise that our choice of colour for the first shawl was pure white with tone on tone embroidery, as that is the moodboard Chikankari is most associated with; A Class Apart Heirloom in the World of Luxury Drapes.
POSHAAK (about the dress):
The Konia boota Resham Chikankari embroidered shawl takes inspiration from ivory & marble carvings that are delicate, timeless, rich & evocative, and the traditional konia boota classic warm drapes.
This pure merino wool shawl has been embroidered on tow diagonal ends with a very fine & intricate floral motif, featuring an array of rare stitches like Jaali (qasab taar), Bijli, Kaante, Phada, Keel, Kangan, kauri, amongst many stitches. The body is scattered with a beautiful miniature phool patti motif running all through the shawl.
This shawl is a lighter to drape, making it easier to drape on many occasions, and is a remarkable piece of wearable art.
This is an Heirloom Shawl that can be passed from generation to generation. More than the warmth that the wool gives, this will be a cherished memory full of warmth of hands that embroidered it, & hands that picked it up and owned it, like a piece of textile jewel, that it is.
P.S: You can get this shawl made on Pure Pashmina, & the colour can be customised too. Please email us at namaste@meiraas.com to know more.
If you wish to see the shawl on a video call, then email us to fix appointment.

FROM THE VAULT COLLECTIVE
Mihikavan is Heirloom Chikankari 2 Taar Pure Georgette Saree in Almond Beige hue with full jaal floral embroidery. The Palla has breathtaking latticework stitch in rare & old Paisley motif. A rare Heirloom Piece!!
KHAYAL (moodboard):
Kamadeva (God of Desire) and Basant (Spring) decide to break the tapa of Kaamajeyi Mahadev, and get him attracted to the beauty of Parvati ji. To set this scene of romance, they paint a rugged forest, where the tapa is going on, into a place of beautiful desire, an enchanted forest garden. In an instant, Basant transforms the rugged terrain into a Floral Paradise; his painting is so beautiful that all beings are turned on to create a valley of love, the culmination of this beauty happens when a dormant tree trunk starts sprouting flowers, & a Latika or Creeper of Flowers engulfs the trunk with her grip of love!!
Kalidasa ji paints so beautifully with words, almost as beautifully as our artisans create art with needle and thread.
Mihikavan means Mihika (dewdrops) of Vana (Forest garden). When I see the art on this saree, I think of the first rays of sun touching the Mihika and the whole enchanted forest garden of Kumaarsambhav penned by Kalidasa ji come alive. We hope you enjoy this Khayal - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas

2. Antiquemotif art & layout created using hand carved motifs following all processes.
3. Handloom Chanderi
4. Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book.
KHAYAL (mood-board):
Amer motif was created by us in the year 2020. The motif is a replica of Amer Fort, Jaipur Guldaan art done in Molten Glass in the original monument. This motif inspired us to create a range of Amer inspired Chikankari garments, as artfully, Amer Fort is one of the most beautiful forts we have seen so far.
To add to this, Noir, is a series we had created a couple of years back, to celebrate a new dimension in Chikankari embroidery - the tone on tone dark. We started this process with Black, & since then have tried Moss Green, and now moving to explore Oxblood shade. This kind of Chikankari is the opposite of classic & ethereal White on White or pastel Tone on Tone. This is rich, decadent, sultry, elegant, mysterious & yet, stately.
POSHAAK (about the dress):
This rich Oxblood shade kurta has a beautiful ghaspatti bel neckline. It features an antique late 19th Century miniature flower vase motif, which also finds its parallel in Amer fort. This is why we picked this motif to go along with the grand Amer motif newly crafted by us.
This motif is scattered on the sleeves and front of the Kurta, and the back has the grand Amer Vase motif, along with keel bootis.
It is a beautiful, artful Kurta that is sure to turn heads and become a conversation starter.
