KHAYAAL (moodboard):

Tulips have captured the mind space of Art connoisseurs alike the World Over. Maybe its alluring form is the reason, or their vibrant colours, but the elegant and beautiful Tulips find themselves as the centrepiece in many works of Art, including Textiles, where they have a dominating presence in some cultures.

In Chikankari & other Crafts of Awadh, we wanted these celebrated blossoms to be represented too, as the craft seems to be made for them. Our visit to a Tulip Show in New Delhi, in February of 2024, solidified this dream.

In the same vein, Indian artists & portraitures carry a miniature frame to capture portraits of Royals. These two thoughts were married to make two blocks, that carry the thought of Tulip Royale saree.

POSHAAK (about the saree):

Let us understand this saree’s highlight motif, the Tulip Miniature.

Inspired by miniature Art style of Indian portrait painters and the allure of the shape of the oval/round miniature frame, we created a block of Miniature Mirror.

Inside the mirror, we created our Exclusive, intertwined Tulips motif. This motif has stitches like Orma, Ghaspatti, Shadow, Bijli, amongst others.

However, after the Tulip was embroidered, the rest of miniature frame space was filled with very fine quality qasab taar (zari coated thread filament) Jaali, cut by hands! An exemplary feat.

This technique gives the saree a 3D Art effect, creating an illusion of colour and depth. The blue shade in each of these Oval Miniature Tulip motifs, shows three distinct shades of same blue due to the clever technique employed in embroidery.

The shoulder also has a romantic web of intertwined tulips, again showing different shades of same royal blue, due to slick technique of embroidery!

Rest of the saree is covered in Mukaish dots in Gold, along with a border detailing running all through.

It is a saree that you will love to cherish and showcase with pride, as part of your personal heirloom collection.

It is a saree that your great grandchildren or their children will someday love to show in a private visit to your home!

The saree can be dyed and made also on request in a colour patron chooses.

Storage: Please store safely in the cloth bag we provide. Air it after every few months. Do not spray perfume directly on Mukaish.
