Note from the Founder:

“Meiraas has created and re created motifs of Archival quality that speak of the heritage of this craft and the history associated around it; wearing Sarees & Suits in Meiraas Chikankari is a luxury that our patrons love to save and invest into, to create their own heritage. We also wanted our patrons to enjoy the Luxury of Meiraas Archive Quality Chikankari on an everyday or more frequent basis, or mix & match with more crafts, that is why we decided to make these beautiful statement blouse fabrics, that can be worn with any saree and on any occasion – whether workplace meetings, brunches or cafe outings, or even weddings. We hope you enjoy these Everyday Luxury pieces from Meiraas” – Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas.

Khayal (Moodboard):

In the summer of 2022, we travelled to the villages around Lucknow city, which have been inked into legends and ballads due to their vast stretches of Mango Orchards, full of sweet fragrance and even sweeter promises. It was here, that we chanced upon some small, but gorgeous stretches of Sunflower Fields, farmed for the much used Sunflower Oil. The sight was as beautiful as a William Wordsworth poem, and also one that was unexpected in the topography of Awadh. This wanted us to add one more motif to our bouquet of work based on Awadh region.

Surajmukhi is a stunning statement motif in a field of other flowers & trees.

Poshaak (About the fabric):

This Chikankari Top/Blouse fabric is a stunning Yellow beauty, with neat floral rows of embroidery on front, sleeves & back. The back has one stunning motif, a representative of Sunflower, at the back. The fabric is sufficient to make a stunning blouse to pair with many sarees, of same or different crafts. Please get the fabric full lined to make a blouse.
