The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

1. Masterclass Jaali stitch work using Zari filament, which is extremely difficult to do.
2. Sustaining highest quality of Jaali stitch as centrepiece, which is almost vanishing from the craft or getting replaced with sequins and cutdana.
3. Very fine resham taar Chikankari done with immense detailing inside the motif
4. Handwoven Pure Organza Silk with tested Zari borders of Gold & Silver, making it a Hand embroidered and Hand Woven wholesome piece of wearable art.

KHAYAL (moodboard): Have you ever seen Lucknow’s famous 500 plus year old dessert recipe, Malai Gilauri? For those who have not, it is Malai or Khurchan cooked over hours, that is removed from the sides of a paan, when cooled down. The layer of cooked Malai is then decorated with many beautiful condiments – pistachios, almonds, sugar, rose water, gulkand – before rolling into a Gilauri. The process just before making the Gilauri is a beautiful sight. This motif with the finest stitches of most beautiful & complex embroidery in Pink & Peach, and Jaali stitch, reminds us of the Gulaab Gilauri, just before getting folded and bound into a mouthful of sweet bliss.

POSHAAK (about the garment): This dupatta has 3 Gulaab Gilauri motifs along the centre length, making it look full, yet not overwhelming, so that the extremely beautiful Gilauri motif looks clutter free and neat, resting upon delicate white Organza. A subtle stunner!! Small floral bootis accompany this one of a kind dupatta.
