KHYAAL (moodboard):

Lucknow – a city of Gold & Silver!! In Kenize Mourad’s historical part history part fiction “In the City of Gold & Silver”, Lucknow amongst Awadh is detailed as a land of Gold & Silver symbiotic. It is a symbolism for the syncretic culture of Awadh, where two ideologies or thoughts had a place to survive together. It also symbolises the rich court of Awadh dynasty, where the aristocracy spent its days in the riches that the fertile Indo Gangetic plains yielded, and immersed themselves in Art, Culture, Music, Poetry. The book had a profound effect on us to create two such weaves – Gold Zari Silk & Silver Zari Silk. A symbol of the now lost Awadh.

POSHAAK (about the saree):

Silver Zari Silk Dupatta is a unique weave commissioned by Meiraas. Pure Zari in Taana, Pure Zari in Baana & little bit of Pure Silk to bind this Work of Art together. The Rich Weave has been then adorned with Resham Chikankari in Heritage motifs. This is a first time such a dupatta has ever been made in Chikankari, & likely this status will remain for a long time. The richness of the weave & Embroidery will be more enhanced when the dupatta is in the hands of the patron, it is like wearing a sheet of Molten Silver. The dupatta has miniature Three Fern motif that dates back almost 2 centuries, & was possibly used for Block Print & is now being re purposed for Chikankari.

NO RETURN/EXCHANGE REQUEST WILL BE ENTERTAINED FOR MADE ON ORDER PRODUCT.
