Khayal (moodboard): "Rajnigandha Collection was born out of my love of 70s effortless and relatable genre of Hindi Cinema, and the look of the heroines of such films, who felt closer to the women in my family & around me – my mother, my aunts, my teachers – all of whom were heroines in their own life, and were changing the societal mindset, to accept women who knew their mind, could go out & work, or homemakers who needed personal time, have a life and defined choices, while taking their family along in this journey. It was an interesting time!! Rajnigandha was especially chosen for Chikankari sarees, because they were heavily worn by women of all age groups in Lucknow, light worked ones and heavier Tepchi ones in pretty sorbet & pastel shades. The collection is also my heart collective, as it involves Artisan Skill Enhancement at each level, along with using good quality handwoven cotton fabric, all of which is fast disappearing from Chikankari everyday sarees."- Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas Poshaak (about the saree): This lovely Bakhiya (shadow) Phanda (French knot) embroidery fresh Blue saree has a unique border display with multiple border usage on palla and a very fine border with keel kangan stitch, running through the saree. Extremely fine quality shadow embroidery on palla, enhances the look of this beautiful saree. The rest of body has Frangipani blossoms embroidered on its body, making it one of a kind saree. 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. 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.

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.

Aqua Blue Tepchi Chikankari Kota Doria saree

₹10,500.00

THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):

Artisan Skill Enhancement:
- The Tepchi format of this saree has not been kept uniform, as is the case with most bargain basement embroidery cluster workmanship. We have re-designed the Saree format in the lines of a Pure Georgette look saree, with a variety of motif styles on the Palla, increasing the dexterity involved in the work. This helps the artisans break away from the monotony of uniform one motif sarees, by giving them variety to work upon. The saree also has a unique one side heavy border, a novelty in Chikankari sarees. The motifs picked are complex & rarely worked upon.

The saree has rarely used unique paisley motifs that form the centrepiece design. We have given a very different theme of the Pallu with complex motifs & designing sensibility borrowed from premium pure georgette sarees in Chikankari. The saree boasts of a one side heavier Palla, a rarity in design sensibility in Chikankari, that was inspired by some handwoven sarees of India. This makes the saree a rare masterpiece in Tepchi Chikankari. The saree has been finished with crochet lace & sea shell details. The soft Aqua Blue hue is soothing to the scorched summer soul, & the Kota is light & airy like a feather. Styling Tip: Wear these sarees with soothing pearl jewellery or stunning silver, and take these beauties out for lunch, work, brunch, any casual day out. Imp: Kota Doria Chikankari sarees have lesser width, as soft Kota shrinks with heavy work. We will attach a same colour cotton fabric in the tucking in part seamlessly to provide a ready width of 44 inches, at no additional cost.
