KHYAAL (Moodboard):

The inspiration behind this saree is the Ambi or Amiya motif, which symbolises Mango Fruit in Lucknow summers. One of the most celebrated motifs of Chikankari is paisley or ambi motif, due to it being a signature fruit from the city. This is the reason why most Chikankari garments carry this motif as a signature look. Another signature look of Chikankari is its Jaali stitch, which we wanted to incorporate, along with the Biryani Chawal or Murri stitch inside the Ambi shape, making this one of a kind rare, conceptual saree from Lucknow. The motif and the stitches that have been used to bring it alive, gives a feeling of the art and cultural heritage coming together to celebrate Lucknow, via needle handicraft.

POSHAAK (About the garment):

This stunning Ombre dyed yellow Chikankari saree has an antique motif of Ambi, in which we have incorporated two of the Rarest and most prized stitches of Chikankari, Jaali (Zari Taar) and Murri (Rice Grain). The border in the saree is a Double Antique Style Border with the highly skilled Murri stitch being the highlight.

The body of the saree has two Rare 200 plus year old motif of smaller Ambi with Jaali in it and miniature floral motif with the highly skilled Murri embroidery.

To add to this, the smattering of Mukaish stars adds to its regal charm and ethereal beauty. The saree is finished with handmade chanderi tassles.
