1. Upcycled Blouse (this blouse is made out of a Rajnigandha Saree that had a minor flaw while embroidering by the artisan. We did not let the precious work go waste & paid the artisan appropriately for their work. However since we could not sell the garment as a saree, we made beautiful Blouses from the fabric instead.) If these blouses generate good demand, then we can make them on order as well, thereby creating a new product & another revenue stream for the artisans and us.
2. Bio Washed : Washed without using Acid in Mother Gomati river; the fabric was washed in our facility in Gurgaon using Natural Ingredients. The water used in washing was later boiled & filtered and re used in small odd jobs or mopping of floors.3. Masterclass tailoring: Blouse is well lined & has sufficient margins to enable alterations, which allows us making less pieces & catering to more demand.

It is natural white colour of Kota Doria with beautiful embroidery. The Blouse is fully lined in the body with soft Cotton lining to give a good fall & fit. The sleeves are left unlined, gossamer & fun. The hook loops are at the back. The neck is sweetheart and shows off the décolletage beautifully.

KHAYAL (moodboard):Â "I watched Rajnigandha as a child and was extremely enamoured by Vidya Sinha ji's simplicity & yet her grace and elan. I have often talked on Meiraas Instagram about her "Classic White Blouse" that she paired with many printed & coloured sarees. It was just like the basic white button down we grew up treating as essential in our Corporate Wardrobes. I wanted to create many versions of Vidya ji's classic white style, & this one is a more elegant Cotton Silk version with allover embroidery that can be paired with colourful cotton or pastel cotton silks or even jewel coloured silks to balance them out." - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Design, Meiraas

Dhanlakshmi - The Goddess of Wealth is most awaited by everyone. But what is Dhan? Is it just monetary gain? Or we do not understand the true Wealth & meaning of DhanLakshmi. Health, Happiness, Contentment, Compassion, Calmness, Consciousness are the real attributes of Wealth that help in building a society of Dhan Lakshmi. True, every society needs money, but Dhan Lakshmi brings with her the attributes that let us understand the Art of Living, not just the Science of Earning.
POSHAAK (about the saree):
Steel Grey Handloom Chanderi Saree with one of a kind Palla composition borrowed from Rajasthan Mural Art of squares with Flower Vase and Fruit Bowl paintings. This is a unique composition made by Meiraas using 3-4 blocks. The Floral motifs used here date possibly 200 plus years back and are meant for Block Printing only, they are now being re-purposed for Chikankari by the unit with which Meiraas works. This also indicates an existence of alternate craft field in Lucknow's past. The whole saree has antique diagonal bel of floral creepers using Phanda stitch extensively. The lovely saree is finished with Silver Gota Lace to complete the look.

POSHAAK (about the saree):
Rajat Lakshmi is a beautiful saree we first made in 2020, and since then have made various versions of this saree on Order.
Hand embroidered painstakingly with Resham 3 Taar Chikankari, on a base of Handloom Zari x Silk, this luxurious drape has an antique border on 3 sides of the saree, along with an unconventional Peacock or Mayur motif on the palla. This divine saree has floral bootis in the body, and is finished with selvedge & gold lace detailing. It is a saree that can be worn for weddings, dining out on special occasions, festivals, ghazal or jazz evenings. These are sarees to be cherished, maintained carefully & pass down to future generations. The drape of the saree is engulfing, easy to carry, fluid and yet regal. This helps the pleats fall beautifully, and yet not make it so heavy that it becomes difficult to carry. These sarees are extremely tough to make, as it needs ambient lighting for the embroidery to be possible, therefore cherish them as very rare pieces of art. Imp: No order of this saree can be taken in Monsoons (July - September).| Gift Card Amount | ₹5,000, ₹10,000, ₹15,000 |
