The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

1. Artisan Skill Enhancement: Very fine quality motif work, that involves more skilled work quality done with lesser filaments. The design layout also facilitates more skilled workmanship.

Khayal (moodboard):

“Rajnigandha Collection was born out of my love of 70s effortless and relatable genre of Hindi Cinema, and the look of the heroines of such films, who felt closer to the women in my family & around me – my mother, my aunts, my teachers – all of whom were heroines in their own life, and were changing the societal mindset, to accept women who knew their mind, could go out & work, or homemakers who needed personal time, have a life and defined choices, while taking their family along in this journey. It was an interesting time!!
Rajnigandha was especially chosen for Chikankari sarees, because they were heavily worn by women of all age groups in Lucknow, light worked ones and heavier Tepchi ones in pretty sorbet & pastel shades.
The collection is also my heart collective, as it involves Artisan Skill Enhancement at each level, along with using good quality handwoven cotton fabric, all of which is fast disappearing from Chikankari everyday sarees.”- Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas

Poshaak (about the saree): This lovely Bakdhiya Phanda lavendar colour saree has a dense, yet very neatly embroidered, shadow palla of floral embroidery. Two branches of flowers emerge in a diagonal pattern to give more body & design to the palla layout.

Rest of the body has a running border and floral bootis scattered all through.

It is a perfect light office/lunch/brunch/casual wear saree, yet one that will make heads turn. The drape is perfect for any weather.

Note: Colours might show slight difference in different light. That is due to nature of colour, light under which it is viewed, and various factors. Please bear these factors in mind when making the selection.
