Dance of the Cranes Luxe | Grape

₹22,500.00

This kurta is Made on order only. Please select your size from the size chart given & we will stitch the same accordingly. Meiraas Bestseller Resham Chikankari design since its first launch in 2018, the Power of Silence, Dance of the Cranes motif has been one of our most requested motifs. This is the original Luxe version of the kurta with heavy motif work all through. The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ): 1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery on absolutely novel motif art. 2. Exclusive Dance of the Cranes Meiraas motifs carved following all processes. 3. Handloom Chanderi 4. Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book. KHAYAL (mood-board): The outskirts of the historic & charming city of Lucknow are equally beautiful in their rustic charm. These ancient Indo Gangetic plains are lush with greenery & boasts of one of World's oldest agrarian civilisation. Watching the emerald landscape of Awadh is a surreal experience, even more so in winters when dotted with the migratory bird population, the most notable of these being the Siberian Cranes, that never enter the city Lucknow, but stay just outside, especially in Nawabgunj Bird Sanctuary. With this concept in mind, we wanted to design motifs that glide in the night sky in a Yin & Yang appeal; we found the desirable art style of these motifs, very surprisingly, in Japan. The ancient Japanese Art style is dramatically circular in design, & it is here that we found our serendipity, the right manner to display the Nawabgunj Cranes. The motif of Chikankari is an exclusive design of Meiraas launched in 2018. Borrowing from Japanese palette, we designed the motifs keeping Chikankari stitches in mind, that best romance the gliding flight of the Siberian Cranes. POSHAAK (about the dress): The cranes are falling, gliding, flying & finally in a circular Dance of Love at the statement back, in this Meiraas Exclusive Kurta made on Handloom Chanderi. This Grape coloured kurta has tone on tone embroidery of the Cranes on Handloom Chanderi fabric, with their beaks & eyes highlighted with black thread detailing. The work is very heavy on front panel & sleeves, compared to the regular Dance of the Cranes design, with the back having the eternal Dance of Love motif, accompanied my celestial Lotus motif all through. It is truly a grand dress. 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 Kurta (stitching & slip is complimentary) that can be shopped. Pants can be added extra, as explained above.

Chikankari Kurta Edit

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.

Sonchiraiya Eri Silk

₹15,500.00

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):

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. If you wish to add plain Flax Cotton pants in same shade to match, you can select the same from Cotton Plain White Pants and in Customer Note mention: Please make Pants to match the selected kurta.

Gender Fluid KHAYAL (mood-board): Chikankari has been seen as the summer wear for the past 100-150 years or so. However, the embroidery in itself, has enough mettle to be practised with perfect finesse on various fabrics. This has been the endeavour of Meiraas since our inception. We wanted to make this Craft more fluid to other seasons as well, as Chikankari represents the silent art of tone on tone classic beauty, that is endearing to almost everyone in every season. It speaks of class, elegance, discerning taste and grace. Its foray into Shawls was more ordained than ever imagined. We had started working on Chikankari Shawls since 2017, but the perfecting of its form happened now. It is no surprise that our choice of colour for the first shawl was pure white with tone on tone embroidery, as that is the moodboard Chikankari is most associated with; A Class Apart Heirloom in the World of Luxury Drapes.

More than the warmth that the wool gives, this will be a cherished memory full of warmth of hands that embroidered it, & hands that picked it up and owned it, like a piece of textile jewel, that it is.

To set this scene of romance, they paint a rugged forest, where the tapa is going on, into a place of beautiful desire, an enchanted forest garden. In an instant, Basant transforms the rugged terrain into a Floral Paradise; his painting is so beautiful that all beings are turned on to create a valley of love, the culmination of this beauty happens when a dormant tree trunk starts sprouting flowers, & a Latika or Creeper of Flowers engulfs the trunk with her grip of love!! Kalidasa ji paints so beautifully with words, almost as beautifully as our artisans create art with needle and thread. Mihikavan means Mihika (dewdrops) of Vana (Forest garden). When I see the art on this saree, I think of the first rays of sun touching the Mihika and the whole enchanted forest garden of Kumaarsambhav penned by Kalidasa ji come alive.

KHAYAL (moodboard): Paan is a very endearing moodboard of Lucknow, let alone the rest of Bharat. Paan holds not just aesthetic value for us, but it is also considered auspicious due to its various health benefits. The betel leaf is enjoyed amongst all sections of society, and has especially been patronised by the Royals of Lucknow. Shahi Paan, which was akin to Art rolled inside the auspicious Betel Leaf, had the paan makers of that time apply the best of their culinary expertise to create a gilauri that was worthy of the Deity of the temple, which later travelled to Royal courts. This gilauri was especially wrapped with hand beaten pure silver foil called Warq. Our Shahi Paan motif & the kalgi adorning atop it, is an homage to those Royal Beedas of the ancient past that are still in existence. POSHAAK (about the dress): Shahi Paan natural Tussar Silk kurta has a stunning statement back of Paan and Kalgi motif, all archival motifs, that can be seen displayed in National Crafts Museum, New Delhi. Although our motif is much bigger, as that is how hand carving happens now. Laced with very intricate detailing, the stunning motif on the back, is balanced by a beautifully minimal neckline & sleeve line. Jasmine flowers motifs adorn the front of the kurta, making it a regal & subtle piece that is perfect for Festivities & Weddings. The kurta is paired with Glazed Cotton pants in the same shade. It adds depth & character to classic Chikankari, & makes it a novelty, without taking away from the core essence of the craft. Additional Details: The Kurta is Made on Order only. 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. The Kurta will be accompanied with a pair of plain Glazed Cotton Pants in same shade as Kurta. You can choose to make a pyajama or a pant; please put this option in the customer note.
