Aamra Manjari Chikankari Frock

₹7,900.00

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. Fabric: Powerloom Cotton Style: Bohemian as well as Elegant

KHAYAL (mood-board): Mango & Rose - Sipping Mango Shake in Lucknow summers is one part of the joy. An even better presentation is when Mango Shakes are garnished with Rose Petals, and served in earthern "kulhad" glasses.

Now very few such shops remain, but the memories are still fresh, & private summer soirees in Lucknow, still serve this speciality. A design where both ideas could merge, & play a pastel on pastel symphony was always on our minds. POSHAAK (about the dress): This bright, beautiful Yellow kurta, has Resham Chikankari embroidery in lovely Pink shade.
