SUSTAINABLE CHIKANKARI BY MEIRAAS

KHAYAL (mood-board): Patta Patta Boota Boota haal hamare jaane hain – Mir Taqi Mir, 1723-1810

The mood board inspiration for the motif is based on Mir Sahab’s poem & the romance of floral frescoes in India, whether in architecture, art, poems and even textiles. This is a unique Meiraas motif inspired from Rajasthani & Mughal art, as Mir sahab was a jewel of Mughal court, & spent his later years in Lucknow court with Nawab Asaf-Ud-Daulah. This dress is an ode to Mir Sahab.

POSHAAK (about the dress): This Kota Doria Dress has two masterclass arts – Gota Pintucks & Rehsam Chikankari. The dress was first pintucked & inlaid with Silver Gota. Post that it was sent to Lucknow to our artisans for high quality Resham Chikankari. The Dress is soft grey, a non traditional colour palette for Chikankari.

The dupatta accompanying the dress is plain Kota Doria with Gota Edge detailing.
