Meiraas Noir Chikankari Kurta in Bold, Black hue. The Tussar Silk Kurta has some of the finest Resham Chikankari embroidery & is an outstanding piece of art.

The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

1. Old, classic motifs: The Kurta uses old classic motifs of Chikankari, away from the commercial market mores. This Flower Vase motif seen here is almost a 100 years old & has more of an English than typical Awadh touch.
2. Concept Work: Introduction of Noir moodboard in Chikankari, which will explore darker, deeper hues to push the design envelope further.
3. Sustainable fabric base – Tussar Silk
4. Bespoke stitching.

KHAYAL (moodboard):

Noir is a term used for dark or with darker shades. The term is typically used for moodboards in film making, however, taking inspiration from there, it has been used by Global Luxury houses for perfumes with deep notes. We always wanted to explore Chikankari outside the ambit of classic, and create more varied moodboards, of which Noir is the perfect one, to give depth to this beautiful needle art.

POSHAAK (about the dress): Noir is a Tussar Silk Chikankari Kurta in Black hue. This Kurta has a beautiful neckline of SwarnaPaatra jaali work, with Zari Taar Jaali. The front of the kurta has an old motif of Flower Vase with rare stitches & masterpiece Jaali work on one side (in place of front pocket). The same motif is present on either sleeves & back, making this one stunning & bold kurta.

The kurta is paired with Glazed Cotton pants in the same shade. It adds depth & character to classic Chikankari, & makes it a novelty, without taking away from the core essence of the craft.

Additional Details: The Kurta is Made on Order only. Please feel free to give your custom sizing (please specify body or garment sizing), in case you don’t find your perfect fit in our size chart.

The Kurta will be accompanied with a pair of plain Glazed Cotton Pants in same shade as Kurta. You can choose to make a pyajama or a pant; please put this option in the customer note.
