The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery on an absolutely novel border art.
2. Hand Embroidered Mukaish highlights.
3. Natural Fibre base - Pure Organza Silk.
4. Rare stitches like, Murri (Rice Grain) form the major part of the embroidery. The shadow work done in this saree is silent (which means that the shadow threadwork in the reverse is not visible from front, yet it gives the classic impression or shadow).
KHAYAL (Mood-board):
The elusive Brahmakamal, is an ancient celestial Indian flower, that is considered extremely auspicious to be offered to our prime deities. The reason behind this is its rarity of blooming in just one night between the period of late summer & early autumn, and that too in the higher Himalayas of Uttarakhand. Our scriptures revere this Brahmakamal as divine and celestial, due to this rarity. Various ancient texts of India and Tibet have mentioned its amazing therapeutic properties that can cure many fatal diseases.
Brahmakamal is that flora of our land, which was deemed as the best kept mystery of the natural secret garden of the Himalayas. We spotted some rare Brahmakamal in our many travels to the higher Himalayas, and envisioned them in the craft of Chikankari.
POSHAAK (About the garment):
As the name suggests, we envisioned this saree in pure, pristine and pearly white. Our immediate thought was using the purest Organza Silk as the base to display the snow capped peaks of Higher Himalayas, but with a mystique; hence, Organza was the choice.
The motif chosen for this saree was one that had to have a Brahmakamal like shape, which we luckily found in an old border motif. The best of stitches were brainstormed, which would bring alive this artwork. After the magnificent border, the palla was adorned with snowflake like motif to showcase the presence of the blooms in the higher altitudes of Himalayas. The rest of the body has smaller motifs. Stars of Mukaish are scattered through the saree like fireflies in the mountains glowing like celestial lamps on a full moon night!!
P.S : We will recommend getting this saree made on Pure Georgette Silk base

KHAYAL (Mood-board):
In Meiraas, we treat our Chikankari sarees as a canvas, on which we display our expressions or Khayal, via heritage hand embroidery. Ratna Mayur saree is an expression evolved over our many travels throughout the country, where the elegant peacocks are a common sight to behold. It is amazing how much joy the mere sight of a peacock can bring, to lift up even the most bleak days one could be facing. No wonder, this elegant bird is attached to our Divinity, and also accosted the status of our National Bird. The interplay of Golden Yellow base with Firozi Peacocks came to us from various fort paintings all across Rajasthan. Since most of these personal travels happened during our winter breaks, we especially wanted to create a symposium of all these reveries, into one saree. The saree base was kept as Golden Yellow to indicate the pleasant softness of winter sun in North India.
POSHAAK (About the garment):
This handloom Mulberry Silk saree has a buttery yellow hue, that is accentuated with Firozi Resham Chikankari embroidery to bring out the colour on colour interplay of the craft, that is usually known for monotone look.
The palla has a grand window made of border floral Bel. Inside this window, we have embroidered two Peacocks, making a lover's knot, poetically. Stitches of Ghaaspatti, Zari Taar ki Jaali, Hool, Bijli, amongst other stitches, create this visual poetry.
The rest of the palla has an interplay of miniature peacock motifs, along with floral motifs.
It is a very rich texture saree with stunning work, and is finished with crochet lace in the colour of the embroidery.

KHAYAL (Mood-board):
The outskirts of the historic and charming city of Lucknow are equally beautiful in their rustic charm. These ancient Indo-Gangetic plains are lush with greenery and boast of one of the World's oldest agrarian civilisation. Watching the emerald landscape of Awadh is a surreal experience, even more so in winters when dotted with the migratory bird population, the most notable of these being the Siberian Cranes, that never enter the city of Lucknow, but stay just outside, especially in Nawabgunj Bird Sanctuary. With this concept in mind, we wanted to design motifs that glide in the night sky in a Yin and Yang appeal; we found the desirable art style of these motifs, very surprisingly, in Japan. The ancient Japanese Art style is dramatically circular in design, and it is here that we found our serendipity, the right manner to display the Nawabgunj Cranes. The motif of Chikankari is an exclusive design of Meiraas launched in 2018. Borrowing from a Japanese palette, we designed the motifs keeping Chikankari stitches in mind, that best romance the gliding flight of the Siberian Cranes.
POSHAAK (About the garment):
The cranes are falling, gliding, flying in an upward pattern on the palla of this neon yellow coloured saree made on Handloom Chanderi. A beautiful border and floral motifs form the palla and body of the saree, adorned with stars of Mukaish, making this a must have Chikankari saree for every connoisseur and collector's wardrobe.
The white colour of the Resham Chikankari looks resplendent against the juicy neon yellow colour of the buttery soft saree. This is a perfect saree for many occasions. A plain running Chanderi blouse fabric will be part of the saree.
The saree is further adorned with same colour handmade fabric tassles in Handloom Chanderi and tucked with our signature Mother of Pearl buttons.

Blush Pearl or Pink Pearl is the inspiration behind this saree. A strand of pearls with Chikankari Kota sarees is what defined the ladies of Lucknow and their summer afternoons & evenings. These strand of pearls were in usual ivories, but sometimes one could also find a beautiful strand of Blush Pink pearl strand and a saree to match! That understated elegant look was the inspiration behind this saree.
POSHAAK (About the garment):
