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.

Our lands are blessed with a variety of natural minerals and gemstones that have immense energy stored within them. Formed under the envelope of Bhoodevi’s (Earth) womb, they radiate and reflect back her energy and lend them to the wearer. Our Chanderi sarees, adorned with heirloom quality Chikankari, are named after these soft and deeply spiritual stones.

Gulaabi Sphatik or Pink Rhinestone is a soft rose coloured pearly looking mineral stone. This beautiful soft blush Pink luminous Chikankari Chanderi saree with antique quality embroidery, is the perfect connect to that emotion with us, that resonates with carrying forward a revered Textile Tradition.

POSHAAK (about the saree):

This soft Blush Pink luminous expanse of handwoven Chanderi saree is embroidered with some of the most antique motifs; some old, some recreated based on archived old motifs.

The saree palla has very antique bel boota on palla & border, which is centuries old and is a rarely seen design. This fine quality motif has extremely complex work in such a small surface.

It further has our Shahi Paan boota, which has been commissioned by Meiraas, basis an archived rare motif. The Shahi Paan boota is on either ends of the Palla, and has our conceptual work where we have filled tiny mango or Paisley motifs inside the Paan motif. The Paisley & Paan are two iconic imageries of Lucknow & Chikankari, and we have brought both together in this conceptual work, making it one of a kind artwork to be revered forever.

The small floral booti in the palla & body of this saree is 200 plus years old. It has some extremely complex stitches in this small a surface area – Zari taar ki Jaali, Hool & Murri. One of a kind masterpiece!!

There is an additional keel boota that runs in the body of the saree, along with complex floral booti.

The saree is lit up with diyas of Mukaish embroidery placed beautifully amidst the fine thread art.

Saree is finished with a Satin Silk selvedge in Rani Pink and we will also provide a 1 metre approx blouse piece in same fabric and same colour.
