Swarna
₹39,500.00
Swarna, or the one that is Gold! This Gold Zari Silk Kurta & Dupatta ensemble from Meiraas, is anointed with delicate Resham Chikankari. A statement in itself, not much, but subtle accessories are needed, after one wears this kurta.
The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery.
2. Novel motif art & layout created using hand carved motifs following all processes.
3. Handloom Zari Silk for Kurta
4. Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book.
KHAYAL (mood-board):
Swarna is a hue we love! We introduced the fabric of Zari Silk (or Tissue) with Resham Chikankari, back in 2020, with our Dhanlakshmi collection. Since then, this is one of our most revered & loved creations.
Our moodboard was inspired by the ancient Indian sculptures that showcased very intricate & deep work on rich fabrics. We wanted to explore this unexplored dimension with Chikankari work, and it turned out ethereal!!
POSHAAK (about the dress):
The Swarna Ambi dupatta has beautiful Gold Ambi motifs on two sides of the daaman diagonally. The workmanship in the Ambi motif is exquisite with many rare stitches, including qasab taar ki jaali. The rest of the dupatta is embroidered with a very intricate miniature diskette shaped floral motif, which is further highlighted by Mukaish embroidery. The delicate, yet rich dupatta is made on Tissue Georgette fabric allowing a light weight & flattering drape. Please see the full dupatta images by scrolling till the end.
Swarna tunic, on the other hand, is made in Handloom Gold Zari Silk, with Resham Chikankari floral booti scattered in minimalist design mood board, as that is all this fabric needs to dress up. We wanted to create a more functional Kurti for the festive & wedding seasons, where one is running between events, & wants elegance and opulence, ready at their fingertips.
Just add some well chosen diamonds or emeralds with this Kurti, for a rich and yet sublime look.
There is a difference of shades in Swarna Ambi dupatta & Kurta. The dupatta is very light Gold, while the Kurta is Gold (please refer to the images). When worn together, they both complement each other very well, in giving a gradient effect. The pants should be made to match the Kurta.
If you wish to add plain Glazed Cotton pants in same shade to match, you can select the same from Glazed Cotton Plain Pants and in Customer Note mention: Please make Pants to match the selected set. We will do the needful
If you wish to get a pair of Silk or Zari Silk pants made to complete this ensemble, then mail us at [email protected] and we will take the conversation forward.

Orange Biskoot Chikankari Cotton Kurta Fabric
₹7,700.00
Please note that these kurta fabrics are made in a way that they can be stitched for both Men & Women. For Men, this Kurta fabric can be used to fit Sizes - S, M, L only, for a standard knee length Kurta.
Pastel peachy orange Pure Cotton self pattern Kurta Fabric with Fine Chikankari embroidery done using heritage motifs from our unit (please read full description).
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.
The Chikankari is Resham and will be 3 taar.
This kurta fabric is a good way to wear heritage motifs in classical Awadhi style, and most importantly for everyday wear, not just occasion wear.
Please Note: Only Kurta Fabric is available to shop from this post. If you want us to stitch it for you, then drop in a mail at [email protected] and our team will assist you further.

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.
