Rajnigandha Collective

Geeli Mehendi

₹9,900.00

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 and had only done "shadow" "phanda" stitches for fast moving Chikankari goods. Such nuanced work enhanced their skill and gives them a better chance of earning more.
Slow Layout of Embroidery: The embroidery layout is in typical style of an Heirloom saree with varied designs and Shadow work, along with it, which is rarely seen. This breaks away from the 'allover' simple Tepchi embroidery that is the norm of fast moving Chikankari work, and is done by 5-6 chutkis (embroidery girls). In contrast, this saree is made by 2 skilled artisans only.
Non Motorised Amber Charkha Spun Fabric yarn.
Handwoven high count Cotton Saree
Azo Free filtered dyeing
100% hand carved block printed motifs only

Khayal (moodboard): The 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, and 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 slice of life cinema heroines, like Vidya Sinha, the names are kept reminiscent of the romance of those ages!! Geeli Mehendi (Wet Palms with Henna) is a name, that is evocative of the simple yet soulful era!! Poshaak (about the 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 usual with Tepchi, we broke the palla layout into interesting panels to include more nuanced motifs and 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. As is well know, that only constant practise and challenges makes the craft perfect. We absolutely love Tepchi Chikankari. The delicate Tepchi is quite literally Summer embroidered on your saree. The Dark Green Brown Mehendi hue is a mood lifter and outstanding , making it a perfect and must have as a connoisseur. 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. This is our Bestseller Saree since year 2020, and has been brought back into stock 5th time now. 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. Note: Colours might show slight difference in different light. That is due to nature of colour, light under which it is viewed, and various factors. Please bear these factors in mind when making the selection.

Tulip Royale Saree

₹55,000.00

This saree is Made on Order Only. You can email us at namaste@meiraas.com for colour & fabric customisation. Please read all details below: Tulip Royale, the grand & opulent Mukaish saree with one of kind Chikankari embroidery, added as a highlight, in the regal Royal Blue hue. The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

Exclusive Meiraas Chikankari motifs with very skilled technical work
Museum quality motif work
Jaali embroidery cut in Qasab Taar on a larger surface than usual.
Mukaish hand embroidery
Azo Free Dyes
Silk Mark of India certified fabric

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.

Aari Zardozi, Dhanlakshami Chikankari Sarees, The Wedding Collective

Sonchiraiya – The Elusive Golden Bird

FROM THE VAULT COLLECTIVE : Sonchiraiya is possibly the most beautiful saree on our website. This Heirloom saree has Resham Chikankari along with Zardozi hand embroidery, with conceptual artwork by Meiraas! It is a museum worthy collector's piece. The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

A rare masterpiece of 3 Awadhi embroideries - Chikankari, Zardozi & Aari
2 Taar Resham Chikankari
The finest quality of Zardozi
Qasab taar Aari embroidery
Conceptual artwork by Meiraas
Pure Georgette Silk fabric
Hand me down Heirloom Chikankari saree

Khayal (Moodboard): Note from the Founder "Daughters are like the Sonchiraiya of a home. Isn’t that true?! The Golden Bird that keeps twittering at every nook and corner since childhood. Whose presence lights up the face; and who one day, becomes the elusive Golden Bird - Sonchiraiya. One that is the most beautiful and prized and yet rare to be seen. This is what a daughter and her marriage means. I designed the Sonchiraiya saree for our niece’s wedding keeping this thought in mind. Having gone through this phase too, I wanted to dedicate one saree to the daughter of the house. The mood board comes from our design range - Birds of Paradise - launched on IG this March/April that features many birds of Nawabgunj Bird Sanctuary. While the posse of those birds is huge, I just plucked out the Gauraiya or Sparrow from the the bouquet, as that is what daughters are, to my mind, sweet sparrows blooming in the home, who later metamorphose into the Golden Bird or Sonchiraiya. The grand saree is designed with dense Resham Chikankari, with Sonchiraiya sitting in Zardozi craft, in a twittering and prancing pattern (how daughters are and sparrows are). The saree is detailed with Kasab Taar on the borders and is finished with the finest Zardozi elements of micro sequins and rainbow beads, that are of the most premium kind. The grand saree is hand dyed in Damask Rose shade, to match the blush of a daughter’s face as she becomes a bride." Vidhi Rastogi, Founder, Meiraas. Poshaak (about the saree): This is a saree fit for a Vault Collective. Palla and Body till 2.5 metres : The Pure Georgette Silk saree has almost 2.5 metres of heavy Chikankari work done in Resham with masterclass shadow work. The embroidery is done with Golden Cream shade on Pink base, and creates illusion of a different colour as the thread colour lends its own shade to the Pink shade. Gauraiya motif is interspersed in between the geometric shadow design to show a bird flying in and out. These are hand embroidered in very fine Zardozi craft, with Qasab Taar Aari outline for each bird. Each bird has Chikankari stitches, along with very fine Zardozi embroidery with micro sequins and rainbow glass beads. These beads though very tiny to the naked eye, catch and reflect colour beautifully, while leaving the onlooker bewildered as to where the glow is emanating from. Each Golden Bird stands out richly on the palla and body, till 2.5 metres Body : The saree has very beautiful antique borders of Chikankari, where at places a Qasab Taar (zari coated filament) has been intertwined with Resham Taar to do embroidery and at places they have been embroidered separately on same motif in a definite pattern. This is to give rich attention to detailing in every nook and corner of the saree. Rest of the body has floral bootis scattered all over. Micro Sequins are tucked in all over the saree, that give the saree a subtle, graceful glow. This saree is a Rare, Conceptual piece of Art, and meant for Collectors of the Craft. Blouse: Pure Crepe Blouse with micro sequins embroidered all over This saree does not need very heavy jewellery, as it is a jewel in itself. Just some well chosen diamonds will complete the look. Email us at namaste@meiraas.com if you wish to discuss any aspect before placing the order, or want to see the saree via IG Video or a personalised Video Call.

Chikankari Kurta Edit

Tulip Royale Ensemble | Ocean

₹34,300.00

This Ensemble is Made On Order only. Please select your size & we will stitch it complimentary. Meiraas Exclusive Chikankari motif, Tulip Royale & Miniature Frame, has been conceptualised into an ensemble. It’s a novel art in Chikankari, introduced by Meiraas. The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ): 1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery on Exclusive motif art by Meiraas 2. Exclusive & Rare Conceptual Chikankari Embroidery, with masterclass Jaali work 3. Handloom Chanderi & Pure Organza Silk (for dupatta) 4. Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book. KHAYAL (mood-board): 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, 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. POSHAAK (about the dress): The intertwined pair of Tulips find their romantic adaptation in Chikankari, through Tulip Royale ensemble. The front panel & sleeves has the Tulip Royale motif patterned heavily all through, creating a beautiful tone on tone effect in Ocean Blue shade of the Handloom Chanderi kurta. The back of the Kurta has the Tulip Royale encased inside a miniature oval frame motif, to show the allure of the blossom & its representation in Art. This motif has the rarest 3D embroidery, & the first of its kind in Chikankari. The complete oval miniature motif has been embroidered with Qasab Taar jaali, possibly the largest surface to have Jaali stitch in. The tulip encased inside this frame has other Chikankari stitches like Orma, Bijli & Shadow. The Jaali embroidery changes the shade of the Blue of the miniature oval, while the blue of the portions where Shadow embroidery is done have another hue; then again, the flower area with Orma stitch is darker and different blue from the Jaali & Stalk part of the embroidery. This enables 3 subtly changed shades of Blue, achieved via masterclass embroidery technique. The dupatta is Organza Silk with Tulip Motif Chikankari miniature boota scattered and Mukaish dots added all over. It adds to the ethereal charm of the whole ensemble. 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 set. We will do the needful This post has Dupatta & Kurta (stitching & slip is complimentary). Pants can be added extra, as explained above.
