Matsya Slaty Chikankari Kurta

₹7,900.00

A regal Steel Grey version of Matsya Chikankari Kurta! Perfect for languid summers, bursting monsoons or early setting in winters! THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):

Pure Cotton fabric
Bespoke Tailoring
Margins given in each garment to ensure sustainability in ready to wear

Only hand carved Chikankari motifs were used.

Khayal: Moodboard FISH motif is one of the most celebrated icons of Awadh's heritage & history. The Fish Emblem was sacred to the Nawab royalty of Lucknow & Awadh, and its inspiration looms large on the many architectural landmarks across Awadh, that are now seeing the ravages of time. We have already created an Original Chikankari Motif of the Fish Emblem, we now wanted to create a revival of the iconic symbol in another masterpiece art of Awadh - Daraz applique. The Awadhi Crafts are versatile with hand arts beyond Chikankari; Many crafts like Daraz, Mukaish, Aari, Zardozi have a unique standing of their own, yet are now relegated as an add on to Chikan in their most basic & non creative form. Daraz applique is one of them. Poshaak: (about the dress) This beautiful summer fresh classic kurta has a unique daraz fish motif embroidery along the length of the kurta in the front. This was recreated in reference to an archival work housed in V&A Museum currently. The kurta has black Chikankari embroidery in antique miniature motif (rare to find such small & detailed motifs now) in the front, & Meiraas Exclusive Fish emblem statement motif. The cut of this kurta is single kali, which ensures better fall & grace. It is one of a kind Chikankari kurta, that is sure to become a conversation starter.

Traditional Oreb Cut of Awadh
Handmade in India

SUSTAINABLE MEIRAAS CHIKANKARI KHAYAL (moodboard): Ruskin Bond's novella "A Flight of Pigeons" is set in Shahjahanbad, Uttar Pradesh, during India's first recorded War of Independence against British Raj in 1857. The story, though a love story in the intent, is a lot more than that. It is a beautiful story of camaraderie in such bleak times between English women who are left as survivors of an aftermath, & extreme kindness & compassion they end up sharing with Indians where they take shelter. The friendship between "Kothiwali" an aging matriarch & Mariam, the English lady is lovely. The Cotton Frock, Aamramanjari, is an ode to this friendship & hence is made in a style that passes for both Indian & English. Aamra Manjari or Mango Blossoms is the name given to the beautiful embroidery, as that belt of Uttar Pradesh is dominated by rows and rows of Mango plantations. Just like the tender & joyous blossoms, the friendship of women in this story is unassuming, under rated, yet most beautiful. POSHAAK (about the outfit): Aamra Manjari Cotton Frock is made on Soft Pure Cotton. This frock is part of our artisan skill set improvement project, & the full collection took 1.5 years plus to get made. The front ghera (flare) is heavily embroidered with Mango Bark, the bust is done up with minimal flower & bel boota. The back has one statement Aamra Manjari motif & rest has small scattered flowers. It is a beautiful dress to be worn in any weather & any occasion - work, beach holiday, fort holidays, home working. It can be dressed up as a Kurta and dressed down as a tunic on the beach. Important: This cut is called Oreb. Please note that the kurta is not asymmetrical, but cut in Oreb style. Only Kurta is available to shop from this listing. Fabric: Powerloom Cotton Styling Top: Pair with our Jane Eyre Chikankari Kota Doria Dupatta as shown in Image 7

The Sustainability Quotient (SQ): 1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery 2. Handpicked heritage value motifs 3. Top quality pure cotton fabric KHAYAL (moodboard): Orange Biskoot or Biscuit reminds me of a bakery in Lucknow (confused whether Good Bakery or Burma Bakery), that made these subtle orange flavoured nankhatai sort of biscuits. The colour had a hint of orange, and they tasted very subtly of the orange flavour, like just about. They were my favourites back then. Gradually either they stopped being made, or newer bakeries came up with truffles and what not, we did grow apart; yet the memory lingers - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas POSHAAK (about the dress): Beautiful peach coloured Kurta Fabric in Pure Jacquard Cotton anointed with embroidery just a shade darker. The Chikankari motif used here is a heritage one, and rarely seen. The back has a single motif of Phool with the precious Sunehre Kasab ki taar jaali. The sleeves also have the back motif one each on either sleeve. Rest of the Kurta is plain, so that both self pattern fabric & Chikankari on it can neatly shine through.

POSHAAK (about the product): Gulaab - Pink has always been an uplifting hue for Indians. The legendary fashion editor of Vogue, Diana Vreeland once commented "Pink is the Navy Blue of India", denoting the significance the hue has for Indians. While Pink is often pigeonholed as feminine in Western parlance, in India the feminine energy has deep significance since ancient period. We equate feminine energy with grace, softness, nurturing ability that can appreciate art and aesthetics. Pink is the colour of Lotus and Rose for us. The feminine energy that gave these qualities was held in high esteem by men of Ancient India too, and hence was embraced by them. This is why Pink is important hue for India. This Pastel Rose Pink Chikankari Kurta made on soft cotton has a Round and V design, showing beautiful décolletage, and comfortable in the sweltering months. The neck has beautiful embroidery, while the rest of the body has lovely scattered motifs. The back of the Kurta has small bootis scattered at a distance. Important:

At Meiraas, we are exploring an un-White colour palette, and Ecru is a colour we have successfully replicated after many trials on fabric samples. Ecru is generally of two kind - White with hint of olive green, White with hint of olive brown. While both Ecru are ethereal, we lean more towards the green tint; so summer fresh and elegant.

The Sustainability Quotient (SQ): 1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery 2. Handpicked heritage value motifs 3. Top quality pure cotton fabric KHAYAL (moodboard): Sometime back I had conceptualised a saree, and named it Biryani chawal saree. I think that video is still available to see on our IG Videos. In that video i had mentioned that the Murri stitch resembles Sela variety of rice, used for making Biryani. That entire saree was dominated by very rare Murri stitch, which is quite difficult to do, and hence is done less now. I wanted to design a Kurta Fabric using extensive Murri stitch, and here it is!! - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas POSHAAK (about the dress): This luscious lemony yellow Kurta has a stunning phool patti neckline and has extensive use of the rare Murri stitch, amongst others. Murri, when done exactly like this, is a sight for the sore eyes. The sleeves have the same antique bel as neckline. The back has a heritage Paisley motif with extensive use of Murri & Jaali stitch is also there. Rest of the kurta is plain so that both self pattern fabric & Chikankari are laid our neatly on the kurta. The Chikankari is Resham and will be 3 taar.
