This saree is ECRU colour. What is ECRU colour? ECRU is off white that has tones of greyish green & is a very soft yet impactful colour. It has a soft pearly finish and falls in English colour palette.
THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):
Khayal (mood-board): आँसू या बूँदें ! TEARS OR RAINDROPS
This is the question that I asked my design team when I first saw this saree made by them. They had created Raindrops in Tepchi Chikankari on the saree. It was glorious and left me with this question that I placed in front of them.
The head Karigar looked at me nonplussed and said “बारिश है दीदी, हम रोयेंगे काहे?” (This is rain, why will we make tears) and laughed. The artisan team of lovely girls who had embroidered this also laughed. Naturally i joined in with them, but it is this simplicity of theirs that many times smacks me square in my privileged chest.
For those (who in the benchmark created by us, are “not better off in society”), design & aesthetics has no scope of tears. There is always hope with drops of rain, flora, fauna; despite the economic situation et al.
The other day I was discussing this very thing with a dear patron, and I told her how we need beautiful things, home, ambience to be inspired to create.
The artisan however sits in his/her gully where Monsoon is anything but joyous (try stepping in one next rainfall and you will understand). Where rain means further hell like existence, and yet the poetry of an artist comes out in the form of their craft. They need no superficiality to feel motivated, they are motivated by their “कलाकारी” (art).
While we feel demotivated if electricity is snapped for 4 hours due to heavy rain.
.
I am naming this saree Kajri as a tribute to Saavan ki Kajri (Monsoon Melodies) that are sung in all UP homes as the girls make such wondrous pieces of wearable art.
