Jambumani or the Rich Amethyst Purple, is a stunning Resham Chikankari kurta made on handwoven Eri Silk fabric, for possibly the very first time! A true connoiseur’s delight!

Please note that Eri or Ahimsa Silk is one of the most premium fabrics of the World. Produced in weaving clusters of Assam, this silk is handspun & handwoven. It is also known as Wild Silk, as it is not obtained from farmed silkworms. This Silk is called Ahimsa or Peace Silk, because the silk extraction process here, allows the silkworms to leave their cocoon. Only after that, silk is extracted, making this a Cruelty Free Yarn. 

Eri Silk is thermostatic in nature, making it all weather compatible. It improves with age & use, making it one of the most sustainable & sought after fabrics.

Meiraas has gone one step further & brought alive the art of fine Chikankari on it! A Kurta meant for the Collectors of fine handcrafted textiles.

KHAYAL (mood-board):

Jambumani is the Sanskrit name for Rich Purple Amethyst. Since time immemorial, considered a plush hue for the royals, Jambumani exudes a calming, yet rich aura. An essence also unique to the Chikankari Craft.

POSHAAK (about the dress):

Jambumani Resham Chikankari Eri Silk Kurta has a beautiful floral motif with many rare stitches of Chikankari, displayed in a very delicate and old world pattern.

The kurta embroidery has stitches like Qasab Taar Jaali (very difficult to do on Eri Silk due to fabric density), Ghaspatti, Shadow, Orma, Murri, Phanda, etc. amongst other stitches of the Craft. The elegant motif is falling from one shoulder in a beautiful artistic pattern.

Miniature motifs of Cherry and Ambi add the delicate touch all over the kurta, alongside the primary motif. The sleeves have the same miniature motif, along with ghaspatti bel detailing.

The back has the primary floral motif as the statement back.
