KHAYAL (mood-board):
Shankpushpi flower is the inspiration behind this beautiful kurta. Just like the legendary flower, this kurta reminds one of the Chikankari of the more Innocent Age of fine Craftsmanship!
POSHAAK (about the dress):
Let us take you into the embroidery of this kurta step by step!
The neckline has a very fine Murri, Shadow and Ghaspatti bel. The same gets repeated on the sleeve! Its a rarity to see these two embossed stitches together in this layout.
A statement antique motif of Conch Shell shaped flower adorns the tunic on the front & the back. This motif has the following very finely done stitches in Kaccha Taagha - Jaali, Hathkati (2 cutworks together), Murri, Ghaspatti, Orma, Phanda.
Miniature Floral Motifs adorn the rest of the kurta in a delicate flowy pattern of falling blooms.
The tunic is a visual poetry.
The Kaccha Taar Chikankari refers to Chikankari done with unreeled, raw thread. The filament of such cotton thread is extremely fine. It has to be taken out from the raw clump by hand, retted by hand, and made pliable for embroidery by hand everytime, unlike a reeled thread that is ready to use.
This thread gives the look & finish of the Golden Age Chikankari that one can find in Textile Books and Craft Museums.
The extremely soft Handloom Cotton base gives the Kurta a very flattering fall, & provides extreme comfort, while being elegant.

KHAYAL (moodboard): A Summer Place is an ode to those vintage, glamorous, and yet, effortless drapes, that were an instant mood lifters for any occasion. It is a mood board driven by glowing summer evenings, with clear blue skies and crisp sunshine, and a long drive for an intimate evening by a Riviera. The colour of the saree is inspired by freshly blooming summer roses that light up any place with their beauty and fragrance.
POSHAAK (about the saree): Hand Embroidered meticulously on luscious Pure Silk Chiffon, this Rose coloured Pink Ombre dyed Mukaish saree is made with Daana Mukaish, scattered all through the floaty fabric.
The beautiful golden border of the saree is done with a seven line motif, featuring Daana & Teeki mukaish. This gives the Chiffon saree a much needed oomph!

Nakshatra Black Pure Organza Kaamdaani saree of Meiraas Exclusive work , The Golden Trellis with Circle Diskette & Chaand motif!! A stunning saree that celebrates forces of the Universe.
THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):
- Revival of Trellis work in Kamdaani Embroidery : A rarity, Golden Trellis, has been elusive in the repertoire of Kamdaani embroidery for over many centuries. This work of Satkhaani jaali is now done by handful of artisans only for very select collectors of heritage crafts.
- Pure Organza Silk
KHAYAAL (moodboard):"Summers in 1980s Lucknow meant, the whole family sleeping on the terrace at night. While one reason could be that power cuts were frequent then, another reason was its charm of sleeping under the open sky. Nani's house was a treat for me in this respect, whenever we stayed there. We would sleep under the stars, all cousins and elders around on their own charpais. Papa would take this as a moment to show me stars, planets, moon, the Milky Way, etc etc. It was fascinating & I deeply miss those innocent times. Nakshatra is a product of that reverie. Designing Nakshatra was always a dream, ever since I started working with Mukaish craft. The stars of Mukaish say so much to me than just metallic embellishments. They remind me of shooting stars, sun shining on dewdrops, planets, forces that are beyond our comprehension, and we can only see them as glittering dots, because we are limited in our scope to understand energies. This was the thought with which I explored Nakshatra.The Golden Trellis was the perfect embroidery to try this design intervention. I conceptualised a Celestial Trinity of the Sun, the Moon and the Planet to denote the Nakshatra and set it on a bed of stars in the sky in the form of this beautiful Organza Saree.I wish the patron wears it in an enchanting dinner place, under open clear sky, with millions of stars, a glass of wine and good company at hand and have a soulful time to remember & cherish forever." - Vidhi, Head of Creative, Meiraas
POSHAAK (about the saree):
This dark black sky of a soft cloudy Organza Saree has the Constellation in the form of - the Sun, the Moon & the Planet in Golden Trellish Kaamdaani embroidery. These motifs are heavily on the palla only, and the rest of the body has stars of Mukaish scattered all over its vast dark expanse.
We have finished it with Mulberry Silk selvedge in same colour.
The saree has a Mulberry Silk Blouse Piece in running with stars of Muakish.
