A Walk in the Clouds

₹32,000.00

We have size M Ready to Ship in this Kurta. Rest sizes are Made on Order. Please choose your size, and we will prepare the same accordingly. As the name suggests, a lighter than clouds, floaty dress with the classic, museum quality, Awadhi Chikankari embroidery and classical tailoring! A Rarest of Rare piece of Art! The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery.
Matserclass Classical Tailoring – tough to achieve on Organza Silk
Special Focus on functionality today with a classic design.
Novel motif art & layout created using hand carved motifs following all processes.
Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well-researched coffee table book.

KHAYAL (mood-board): A dream…a desire...a reverie! A Walk in the Clouds! When textiles woven in looms were lighter than the air, when times were slow and carefree, when a life was well lived and had a wholesome purpose. There was a time when Muslin woven by our weavers was lighter than the air. It was further anointed with the finest quality of Chikankari. The result was a dearer than life creation of beauty..a joy to just behold. Those times are gone. That fabric doesn’t exist. But can we re-create, re-imagine and bring back a sliver of that beauty?! Yes we can. POSHAAK (about the dress): A Walk in the Clouds is a re imagination and re-creation of the famed, classical Muslin Chikankari Angrakha Kurtas, that are now found in handed down private collections or museums. We have done some changes, to make them more functional & wearable for today, as what is Art, if it can’t be worn & celebrated, with aplomb! This classic cut was earlier, exclusively men’s kurta; we have re designed it to be dress for the ladies! The Muslin is extinct now, but we have tried to re-create that beauty in Pure Organza Silk. Since Organza is floaty, unlike Muslin, masterclass rare Murri embroidery (the Biryani Chawal stitch), has been done very skilfully on the panels to give weight to the dress and give it a flattering fall. The Angrakha cut was very difficult to achieve in this fabric, and 1 master tailor alone can make this dress from start to finish. The Angrakha cut, enables the dress to be worn both opened as a throw on, or closed as a dress, thereby increasing its functionality. The dress will come with a Satin Silk Silk Dress inside, to match (unless specified otherwise by the patron). This alone is enough for anyone to wear it as a dress. The sleeves have been kept 3/4^th to keep the look of the dress. Apart from the masterclass murri neckline & kali detailing, the back has a statement motif with all rare & precious stitches! The dress is a beauty to behold! While it doesn’t need, but if you wish to add plain Glazed Cotton pants in same shade to match, you can select the same from Glazed Cotton Plain Pants and in Customer Note mention: Please make Pants to match the selected dress. We will do the needful This post has Kurta (stitching with lining/slip is complimentary) that can be shopped. Pants, if needed can be added extra, as explained above. Please Note: This dress can easily be worn to many places, but since this work is very premium and the fabric, though strong, is delicate to handle, please take great care in storing it well in the cotton bag we provide. Meiraas is not liable for any mishandling of the dress.

Rajnigandha Collective, Ready to Ship

Petrichor

₹9,800.00

THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):

Artisan Skill Enhancement: The artisan unit that has embroidered this Chikankri Saree had never worked on a saree before or done skilled stitch work. They had never even worked on any pure fabric & only did "shadow" "phanda" stitches for fast moving Chikan goods. Such nuanced work enhanced their skill and gives them better chance of earning more.
Slow Layout of Embroidery: The embroidery layout is in typical style of an Heirloom saree with more designs and even Shadow work. This breaks away from the allover simple Tepchi embroidery that is the norm of fast moving Chikan work.
Non Motorised Amber Charkha Spun Fabric yarn.
Handwoven high count Cotton Saree
Azo Free filtered dyeing

Khayal (moodboard): Rajnigandha collection is inspired by Everyday Effortless charm of saree draping from 1970s-80s, when the ladies of our homes used to drape sarees for everyday chores, & not just for occasions. There was a certain careless abandon in this style, that made the drapes very relatable and one with the wearer, which is an emotion missing now from saree draping. Since the collection finds its muse in 1970s middle cinema heroines, like Vidya Sinha, the names are kept reminiscent of the romance of those ages!! Petrichor is the fragrance of Monsoon very dear to lovers of Slow Living, that is evocative of the simple yet soulful era!! Poshaak (about the saree): Beautiful & rare Peacock Motif along with a stunning floral shadow motif and Lotus creepers come together to celebrate this beautiful Chikankari saree. To create this one of a kind Tepchi with Shadow embroidery layout, we re-imagined this saree in the style of design layout that is usually reserved for pure georgette Chikankari sarees; only, we gave this a twist suited best for good quality Tepchi embroidery. Instead of an allover same embroidery pattern, that is normal with Tepchi, we broke the palla layout into interesting panels to include more nuanced motifs & even included a Shadow stitch motif. This makes the layout of the saree unique, and allows the artisans to enhance their skill in Tepchi embroidery. Please remember, that only constant practise and challenges makes crafts perfect. We absolutely love Tepchi Chikankari. The delicate Tepchi is quite literally Summer embroidered on your saree. However, off late the Tepchi we have started getting in markets is a travesty. You will be lucky to find a really good quality Tepchi for office or casual wear. We have worked very hard on this saree to create a fantastic Tepchi & some shadow work masterpiece, along with Handwoven fabric!! This is a true collector's delight. The unconventional dark Old Rose (Brown with very faint hints of Pink) hue is stunning, all season fresh & outstanding , making it a perfect & must have Chikankari wear. Creating a Chikankari saree on Handspun Handwoven Cotton weave was always our dream. We have been successful in finding the perfect sustainable drape for our delicately embroidered sarees. It is a perfect light office/lunch/brunch/casual wear saree, yet one that will make heads turn. The drape is perfect for any weather. IMP: Please Note, this is a Khadi Cotton saree, which is dyed after the embroidery. There will be non uniformity in colour gradation. This is the charm of Khadi and its differentiating factor. Styling Tip: Wear with Rajnigandha Crop Top

Chikankari Kurta Edit

Sonchiraiya Eri Silk

₹18,500.00

This Kurta is Made on Order only. Please choose your size, and we will prepare the same accordingly. Sonchiraiya, or the elusive Golden Bird, is a lovely Resham Chikankari & Mukaish kurta made on Eri/Ahimsa/Peace Silk fabric, for possibly the very first time! A true connoiseur’s delight! Please note that Eri or Ahimsa Silk is one of the most premium fabrics of the World. Produced in weaving clusters of Assam, this silk is handspun & handwoven. It is also known as Wild Silk, as it is not obtained from farmed silkworms. This Silk is called Ahimsa or Peace Silk, because the silk extraction process here, allows the silkworms to leave their cocoon. Only after that, silk is extracted, making this a Cruelty Free Yarn. Eri Silk is thermostatic in nature, making it all weather compatible. It improves with age & use, making it one of the most sustainable & sought after fabrics. Meiraas has gone one step further & brought alive the art of Chikankari on it, to make a Kurta. This is a rare & novel addition to the craft! The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery.
Mukaish Hand Embroidery
Novel motif art & layout created using hand carved motifs following all processes.
Handspun & Handloom Eri/Ahimsa/Peace Silk for Kurta - please read the note above.
Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well-researched coffee table book.

KHAYAL (mood-board): Sonchiraiya or the Common Sparrow bird, that is increasingly becoming uncommon & elusive. The bird that used to titter in every home and bring untold joy of life, whose presence heards the beauty of seasons – summer, winters or monsoon! It is one of the most therapeutic signs to see these birds in nesting season, starting a new life. It is for this reason, that the Sparrow or Sonchiraiya has been eulogised in many poems & works of Art! POSHAAK (about the dress): The Sonchiraiya Eri Silk Kurta is possibly the first Chikankari Kurta on Eri Silk fabric! This Golden Peach beauty has an artful layout. The front of the kurta has a branch coming down from one shoulder, with flowers & leaves on it. The Sonchiraiya are going in and out of the branch, carrying a twig in their beak, symbolising the nesting season. The back of the Kurta has a statement motif, with the twig carrying Sonchiraiya drawn in art inside a miniature frame, by an artist. It’s an Artful representation of a story of Nature inspiring Art, all represented on a Kurta, through the craft of Chikankari. Mukaish dots add a touch of drama to this dress.
