Please DM on our Instagram for any help or Whatsapp on 9810119795. The set can be made XXL on special request, please DM or Whatsapp. THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):

Artisan Skill enhancement: Exclusive Meiraas Patta Patta Boota Boota Motif embroidery that is a mix of Aari & Chikankari in same motif.
Handmade in India

KHAYAL (mood board): "When i had designed the first Tunic & Palazzo set (it was yellow and my personal set), i was very new into this work & having grown up seeing Chikankari wanted something radically different in motifs and layout, yet something that does not defeat or overpower the elegant & laidback mood that the craft is identified with & loved for. I continue to be a rebel in my thoughts about designing Chikankari pieces & by now that has become a signature style of Meiraas. This ensemble was designed to be something you can slip on easily in casual or formal meetings in India, & as comfortably carry them in SoHo, New York or a French Countryside in a vineyard possibly. The idea was my rebellious little mind that wanted tradition to carry on, yet break from the pattern and do it" - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Design, Meiraas POSHAAK (about the product): Soft cotton Chikankari Tunic (Kurta) in Meiraas Exclusive Patta Boota Motif. The interesting part of this Motif Embroidery is the clever confluence of two styles of embroidery in one motif, both native to Lucknow, Aari & Chikankari. The Flower is filled with Aari stitch, whereas the rest of the motif is done in Chikankari. Both seamlessly come together in a perfect symbiosis. About the Tunic (Kurta): The length is 41 inches for each Kurta. This length can be shortened 2 inches only on request. The motifs are 3 on hemline, one each on either shoulder. Please mention your size as per size chart on checkout. About the Palazzo (Pants): The waistband is belt style (flat) in front & elastic at the back. The motif comes 1 each on each leg. Length is 37 inches and can be altered. Important:

Chikankari garments are translucent by nature as they are mostly made on lighter cottons & in natural white or pastel shades. To wear a slip underneath is subjective to the wearer's comfort
Only Kurta & Palazzo is available to shop from this post.

Fabric: Powerloom Cotton Styling Tip: Easily transcends from casual to informal to formal wear

Jyamiti | Geometry

₹35,000.00

A rare classic of a Kurta, Jyamiti is a Royal Blue linen kurta, with 3 Taar Resham Tepchi Chikankari done allover the front & sleeves, to make it a grand royal attire, but with relaxed maximalism moodboard. The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

Fine Tepchi Work: This kurta has the rare 1 daana Tepchi work, where each stitch of tepchi looks like a small grain, making the embroidery style look extremely neat & subtle, yet impactful. This kind of Tepchi is rarely done in the commercial, or even premium market now.
Sustainable fabric base - Pure Linen/Tussar Silk (choice of either as per order)
Bespoke stitching.

KHAYAL (moodboard): Jyamiti is the Sanskrit word for Geometry, one of the ancient most sciences from our land. Geometry is a gift of the Gods to humans, that first took birth in India, and from there travelled the World over. The progress that we have seen since the inception of humanity, is possible due to this ancient science. It has governed not only the space of Scientific accuracy, but has also permeated towards Arts, because of its rich complexity, and profound core. Many Textile Arts show beautiful patterns of Jyamiti, and Chikankari is not behind. In fact, Geometrical motifs are most suited to bring out the beauty of a well done Tepchi Chikankari, and is primarily used in a classic Tepchi work. POSHAAK (about the dress): This is a Pure Linen Kurta/Tussar Silk Kurta (choice of either fabric as per order) in plush Royal Blue colour. The embroidery is done in 1 daana Tepchi style where each running stitch of Tepchi is not more than the size of a small grain. This is a time intensive and fine process, that lends a very regal & neat look to the Kurta, thereby bringing out the complexity & beauty of Jyamiti. The front panel & sleeves are fully embroidered, and the back has a single motif to balance out the look. The embroidery is done in Resham Chikankari. Additional Details: The Kurta is Made on Order only. It is a rarity & will take time to get made, as only a handful of very skilled artisans can even make it. Please feel free to give your custom sizing (please specify body or garment sizing), in case you don't find your perfect fit in our size chart. You can also put in a request for Custom Colour, & in customer note do mention the choice of fabric between Linen & Tussar Silk.

Syamantak Mani

₹55,000.00

A rare classic of a Kurta, Syamantak Mani is a white pure linen kurta, with 2 Taar Chikankari done on re-created motifs of late 19th-early 20th century artwork. The kurta is a rarity that the men in maximalist Nawab era used to enjoy. The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

Re-Created motifs, commissioned by Meiraas, using late 19th & early 20th Century Chikankari motifs as an example. The references have been drawn from Textiles housed in state & national museums and well researched archival works on the subject.
Exclusive Meiraas motifs carved following all traditional processes. No tracing of artwork.
Use of the Crown Motif which belongs to early 20th Century, and is now with Meiraas unit.
2 Taar Chikankari - the motifs used here are a re-creation of late 19th century artwork, therefore the work could only be done using 2 Taar Chikankari, to embroider on each intricate detail.
Rare stitches used in embroidery like Kaante, Hool, Jaali, Phanda, Rahet, Ghaspatti, Chanapatti vis a vis maximum 2-3 common stitches used in Kurtas.
Sustainable fabric base - Pure Handwoven Linen.
Bespoke stitching.

KHAYAL (moodboard): The legendary Syamantak Gem, mentioned in Vishnu Purana & Bhagwad Purana, is believed to the the famed Kohinoor. Legends say that Syamantak Mani was originally the jewel of the Sun God. It was granted by him to a devotee of his, who belonged to the Yadava clan of Sri Krishna. It was believed that wherever Syamantak was placed with devotion, and not greed, it would heap prosperity on that land. However if passed on or snatched away, it would create the opposite energy, equally potent as its positive energy. Predictably, as is the human greed, the Syamantak was lost, and is believed to be Koh-i-noor. The Crown motif of this Kurta and its jaw dropping intricate 2 Taar embroidery made us name it Syamantak, alluding to The Crown with this famed jewel. POSHAAK (about the dress): This is a Pure Linen Kurta in its natural colour. The embroidery motifs used here are all commissioned by Meiraas using images of late 19th century archival Chikankari images, and the Crown Motif is an extremely old one (possibly from early 20th Century). The back has a stunning re-created motif of Inverted Paan and below it is a motif of inverted, ornate minaret. These works are archived in scholarly works of textile art, we have re-created them in our own way. The embroidery done here is 2 Taar Chikankari. The sleeves have the minaret, and the whole Kurta body is sprinkled with the Crown motif. The embroidery has been done in Beige & Natural White, in keeping with the work observed in the early 20th Century Textile, to create the closest effect. The Kurta embroidery is an amalgamation of rare stitches most of which are painstakingly hand cut ones, the prime ones being Kaante (two stitches merged in one embroidery), Jaali, Hool, Ghaspatti, Murri (rice grain). This makes the Kurta a class apart creation that one would love to cherish as part of an Heirloom Collection & pass it on to future generations, who might preserve your legacy as an heirloom, and maybe in a well curated Art & Textile show in the future, can display the taste their ancestor had. Additional Details: The Kurta is Made on Order only. It is a rarity & will take time to get made, as only a handful of very skilled artisans can even make it. Please feel free to give your custom sizing (please specify body or garment sizing), in case you don't find your perfect fit in our size chart.
