Khayal: Mood-board
"Chaap Tilak" from which we have borrowed the words Rang Deenhi is a poem by Aamir Khusrou composed in 14th Century. This poem is the few he composed in Awadhi language. Rang Deenhi (coloured me) is an Awadhi term that denotes absolute surrender in love. The love can be for a person or an energy, but the feeling is of absolute and unconditional surrender to the love. Taking inspiration, we have created original Shibori motifs from Ancient Indian Flower Art palette, a design breakthrough in Indian style of Shibori. The colour palette is kept Soft, Deep, Vibrant to symbolise shades of love.

1. Upcycled Blouse (this blouse is made out of a Rajnigandha Saree that had a minor flaw while embroidering by the artisan. We did not let the precious work go waste & paid the artisan appropriately for their work. However since we could not sell the garment as a saree, we made beautiful Blouses from the fabric instead.) If these blouses generate good demand, then we can make them on order as well, thereby creating a new product & another revenue stream for the artisans and us.
2. Bio Washed : Washed without using Acid in Mother Gomati river; the fabric was washed in our facility in Gurgaon using Natural Ingredients. The water used in washing was later boiled & filtered and re used in small odd jobs or mopping of floors.3. Masterclass tailoring: Blouse is well lined & has sufficient margins to enable alterations, which allows us making less pieces & catering to more demand.
KHAYAL (moodboard): "I watched Rajnigandha as a child and was extremely enamoured by Vidya Sinha ji's simplicity & yet her grace and elan. I have often talked on Meiraas Instagram about her "Classic White Blouse" that she paired with many printed & coloured sarees. It was just like the basic white button down we grew up treating as essential in our Corporate Wardrobes. I wanted to create many versions of Vidya ji's classic white style, & this one is a more elegant Cotton Silk version with allover embroidery that can be paired with colourful cotton or pastel cotton silks or even jewel coloured silks to balance them out." - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Design, Meiraas
POSHAAK (about the dress): The Cotton Silk Blouse is upcycled from a freshly embroidered Rajnigandha Saree that was unfortunately flawed in the process of making from one corner. We created a completely new category out of it, & with this essential blouse. It is natural off white colour of Cotton Silk with beautiful embroidery. The Blouse is fully lined with soft Cotton lining to give a good fall & fit. The hook loops are at the back. The neck is boat and shows off the décolletage beautifully.
