Gorgeous Lilac coloured Chikankari Cotton Tunic in Kaccha Taar Chikankari! A throwback to Golden Age kurtas of Chikankari, with rarest of rare stitches, all in one tunic.
The Sustainability Quotient (SQ):
1. Skilled Kaccha Taar Hand Embroidery with some of the finest stitches. Do not miss the sleeves with both Murri and Ghaspatti jugalbandi.
2. Rarest of rare stitches, all in one tunic that is reminiscent of Golden Age Chikankari.
2. Fine Quality antique hand block Chikankari motifs carved following all processes.
3. Handloom Cotton
KHAYAL (mood-board):
Shankpushpi flower is the inspiration behind this beautiful kurta. Just like the legendary flower, this kurta reminds one of the Chikankari of the more Innocent Age of fine Craftsmanship!
POSHAAK (about the dress):
Let us take you into the embroidery of this kurta step by step!
The neckline has a very fine Murri, Shadow and Ghaspatti bel. The same gets repeated on the sleeve! Its a rarity to see these two embossed stitches together in this layout.
A statement antique motif of Conch Shell shaped flower adorns the tunic on the front & the back. This motif has the following very finely done stitches in Kaccha Taagha - Jaali, Hathkati (2 cutworks together), Murri, Ghaspatti, Orma, Phanda.
Miniature Floral Motifs adorn the rest of the kurta in a delicate flowy pattern of falling blooms.
The tunic is a visual poetry.
The Kaccha Taar Chikankari refers to Chikankari done with unreeled, raw thread. The filament of such cotton thread is extremely fine. It has to be taken out from the raw clump by hand, retted by hand, and made pliable for embroidery by hand everytime, unlike a reeled thread that is ready to use.
This thread gives the look & finish of the Golden Age Chikankari that one can find in Textile Books and Craft Museums.
The extremely soft Handloom Cotton base gives the Kurta a very flattering fall, & provides extreme comfort, while being elegant.

The Awadh Blossom
₹39,500.00
We have 1 piece available in this ensemble of Meiraas. Please choose your size & we will prepare the kurta accordingly. After 1 ensemble is sold, rest pieces will be Made on Order
The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
1. 2 Taar Resham Hand Embroidery on
2. The Awadh Blossom motif re-created from an archived motif shown in Paola Manfredi's "Chikankari: A Lucknowi Tradition"
2. Motifs hand carved following all processes.
4. Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book.
KHAYAL (mood-board):
This beautiful flower, with opening and carelessly cascading petals, appears on almost every monument in the erstwhile Awadh region, right uptil Ayodhya. Is it Lotus (less likely), is it Semal flower (but why?), it certainly isn't rose. There has been no culture of Tulips in the country, so which flower is it, that appears on every monument of note, throughout Awadh. This motif is accompanied with Matsya motif, and can be seen in all old temples & buildings of Ayodhya, the most ancient seat of Awadh. It has to have a deep cultural significance. So for now, let us name it - The Awadh Blossom.
If one goes to the National Museum, Delhi, one can also see a gorgeous Jade knife hoslter with the same Awadh Blossom carved on it. This flower was certainly significant.
POSHAAK (about the dress):
This 2 Taar Resham Chikankari Kurta Dupatta ensemble is a rarity in minimalist moodboard. Usually when it comes to 2 Taar Resham Chikankari, it is so rare, that one gets full ensemble embroidered in it. Minimalist moodboard allows patrons to enjoy this rare & precious embroidery, with a historic motif, in a more functional format.
The front of the Kurta and sleeves has an open tulip floral motif with Qasab Taar ki Jaali, the back has the re-created statement motif of The Awadh Blossom, in all its grandeur, with very intricate workmanship.
The dupatta that accompanies the Kurta has the open tulip motif too, with Qasab taar Jaali detailing.
We chose the three colour pastel embroidery on ivory base, for the 2 Taar work to stand out in a minimalist moodboard.
The Pure Georgette Silk base makes this a perfect wear for many occasions, both formal & semi formal. Some pearls or solitaires are all one needs to dress up such an ensemble.

Chaand Guldaan
₹19,500.00
This kurta is Made on Order only
An Oxblood shade Chikankari Kurta in our Noir series of exploring rich, dark shades. The Kurta is a classic in our Noir moodboard!
The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery on absolutely novel motif art.
2. Novel motif art & layout created using hand carved motifs 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):
Noir is a series we had created a couple of years back, to celebrate a new dimension in Chikankari embroidery - the tone on tone dark. We started this process with Black, & since then have tried Moss Green, and now moving to explore Oxblood shade. This kind of Chikankari is the opposite of classic & ethereal White on White or pastel Tone on Tone. This is rich, decadent, sultry, elegant, mysterious & yet, stately.
The motifs are also picked keeping the noir theme in mind.
POSHAAK (about the dress):
This rich Oxblood shade kurta has a Chaand Bel neckline, with Qasab Taar jaali work. It also features small motifs of Keel & Ghaspatti flowers all over front & on sleeves.
The back has a statement motif of Crescent Moon, with a flower vase motif on Top, to symbolise the night jasmines, that bloom under moonlight.
In keeping with the mood of Noir, we chose the theme of Crescent & Night Jasmines, to symbolise life growing within dark.
