“This dupatta was created as a gift for my precious sister in law (yes I know, being a designer’s relative has its own set of perks). I wanted to make the most beautiful Dupatta for a special milestone in her life. My Shahi Paan motif was ready to be used finally, and we (Brijesh and I) brainstormed on an embroidery pattern that would incorporate both Shahi Paan and a complementing Lattice motif beautifully. Lot of hand cut work stitches (Hathkati being a central one, Jaali being another one) were incorporated as they are our favourite. Embossing (chana patti, orma, etc), Shadow (ulti bakhiya) – as many varieties of Chikankari stitches we could incorporate we did, to create this piece of Art from our heart. When it came from the embroidery frames to us, we gasped. It looked like something an ancient Goddess would drape!!” – Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas.

A true museum art piece, the Royal Shahi Paan motif, is recreated by Meiraas after research from vintage pieces photographed and preserved in Coffee Tables Books.
