The leitmotifs of Lucknow’s historical heritage on a handloom cotton saree!

2. Resham Chikankari (Hand Embroidery Practised Since Ancient Age).
3. Exclusive Meiraas motif along with Hand Picked Ancient Archived Motifs.

5. Handloom Cotton saree

Khayal (moodboard):

Built by Nawab Asaf Ud Daulah, the Rumi Darwaza, is the architectural leitmotif of Lucknow city. While the Darwaza is based on Turkey’s Sublime Porte, our Rumi is much more magnificent & imposing as a structure, due to the skilled Indian “shilpkaars” that have perfected the art of astonishing monuments & mega structures since India’s millenia old history.

Today, Rumi Darwaza, stands like an old King on beautifully cobbled streets of Lucknow, welcoming & opening the gates to Old City of Lucknow. The Fish Emblem is part of the state seal of UP. Fish is a scared symbol for Lucknow.

POSHAAK (about the dress):

Depicting the signature architectural brilliance of Lucknow, this saree has Chikankari motifs of Rumi Darwaza & Fish Emblem of Nawabs, along with Awadh Blossom.

A conversation starter & showstopper saree by Meiraas, this is a true collector’s delight.

The soft lilac shade, and handwoven cotton, creates the old World charm, that is the signature style of the craft.
