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 a unique layout. The palla has a square konia created on either side with a collage of sorts made with an antique Ambi boota, along with lotus and leafy shoot motif, all this symbolising the flora and fruit & grass bounty of Awadh Summers.

The palla has a beautiful motif of Jasmine flowers in between the Square Art konia, symbolising the bounty of Mother Nature, even amidst the harsh Grishma heat.

The rest of the palla has another Antqiue Ambi motif, with very fine Qasab Taar Jaali work, along with fine murri stitch. So this saree has two unique & antqiue Ambi motifs.

The name Amuva alludes to the song “Amuva ki daali pe bole koyaliya” from the film Dahej (1952), that is set in Lucknow city. This is the colloquial name for Mangoes in Lucknow.

Stars of Mukaish decorate this beautiful Ombre dyed Yellow saree on Handwoven Chanderi Silk, making it a unique piece of wearable art.
