Khayal (moodboard): The beautiful town of Maheshwar weaves the stunning Cotton Silk sarees that were introduced by Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar. These sarees are distinguished by their stunning border & palla weaving that is inspired by the city of Maheashwar (the fort mainly), and the Narmada river. When I had conceptualised making Chikankari on these sarees, the very thought of Maheshwari weaving paying an homage to their town was my central moodboard. Therefore, I wanted the unique inspiration of Lucknow & Awadh to be represented on these sarees. The Khayal of Awadh meeting the Song of Maheshwar!! - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Design, Meiraas POSHAAK (about the dress): This beautiful darker Pink saree has a stunning Blue striped Palla with typical Maheshwari borders.

Made on Order | Jaipur Pink Mukaish Organza Saree

Jaipur Pink Pure Organza Kaamdaani saree of Meiraas Exclusive work , The Golden Trellis, with Chikankari detailing on the border!! A Regal soothing romance for the senses!! You can choose to get this saree made on Pure Silk Chiffon or Pure Georgette as well. THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ): - REVIVAL OF TRELLIS WORK IN KAMDAANI EMBROIDERY: A rarity, Golden Trellis, has been elusive in the repertoire of Kamdaani embroidery for over many centuries. Now this work is done for select Royalty globally, and Meiraas has got this done for you. - PURE ORGANZA KHAYAAL (moodboard): "The city lies on a plain, encircled by brown desert hills, with fortifications and walls snaking over their contours. The capital itself was the prettiest I had ever seen - an intricacy of domes & towers, lattices and verandahs, with all the buildings coloured a deep Oleander Pink. In the wide well planned streets, the women wore skirts, bodices and shawls instead of sarees, and all the men wore gloriously coloured turbans - Red, Magenta, Daffodil Yellow and an indescribable Pink, that was both pale & piercing." - Excerpt from A Princess Remembers . The Memoirs of the Maharani of Jaipur, by Gayatri Devi The above reference is to Jaipur's own Pink, that is akin to the flower of Kaner. India has so many unique colours, that it can make its own shade chart & inspire a variety of embroideries & art. This was the thought that shaped the Jaipur Pink saree, with lattices embroidered in Jaali Mukaish to pay our homage to the breathtakingly gorgeous city of the Rajputs. POSHAAK (about the saree): Jaipur Pink saree is an ode to Maharani Gayatri Devi's observation of Jaipur City. This soft cloud like Organza Saree is dyed a soft pink to resemble the Jaipur Pink. The saree has Chikankari detailing in the border. Its body has breath taking Kaamdaani embroidery work of Golden Trellis circles, that is heavier on the palla and grows smaller and lighter in the rest of the body. The whole saree is sprinkled with Mukaish daana to add to its regal beauty. We have finished it with Mulberry Silk selvedge in same colour. The saree has a running blouse piece with Mukaish daana embroidery. Storage: Please store safely in the cloth bag we provide. Air it after every few months.

Aari Zardozi, Dhanlakshami Chikankari Sarees, The Wedding Collective

Sonchiraiya – The Elusive Golden Bird

FROM THE VAULT COLLECTIVE : Sonchiraiya is possibly the most beautiful saree on our website. This Heirloom saree has Resham Chikankari along with Zardozi hand embroidery, with conceptual artwork by Meiraas! It is a museum worthy collector's piece. The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

A rare masterpiece of 3 Awadhi embroideries - Chikankari, Zardozi & Aari

The finest quality of Zardozi
Qasab taar Aari embroidery

Hand me down Heirloom Chikankari saree

Khayal (Moodboard): Note from the Founder "Daughters are like the Sonchiraiya of a home. Isn’t that true?! The Golden Bird that keeps twittering at every nook and corner since childhood. Whose presence lights up the face; and who one day, becomes the elusive Golden Bird - Sonchiraiya. One that is the most beautiful and prized and yet rare to be seen. This is what a daughter and her marriage means. I designed the Sonchiraiya saree for our niece’s wedding keeping this thought in mind. Having gone through this phase too, I wanted to dedicate one saree to the daughter of the house. The mood board comes from our design range - Birds of Paradise - launched on IG this March/April that features many birds of Nawabgunj Bird Sanctuary. While the posse of those birds is huge, I just plucked out the Gauraiya or Sparrow from the the bouquet, as that is what daughters are, to my mind, sweet sparrows blooming in the home, who later metamorphose into the Golden Bird or Sonchiraiya. The grand saree is designed with dense Resham Chikankari, with Sonchiraiya sitting in Zardozi craft, in a twittering and prancing pattern (how daughters are and sparrows are). The saree is detailed with Kasab Taar on the borders and is finished with the finest Zardozi elements of micro sequins and rainbow beads, that are of the most premium kind. The grand saree is hand dyed in Damask Rose shade, to match the blush of a daughter’s face as she becomes a bride." Vidhi Rastogi, Founder, Meiraas. Poshaak (about the saree): This is a saree fit for a Vault Collective. Palla and Body till 2.5 metres : The Pure Georgette Silk saree has almost 2.5 metres of heavy Chikankari work done in Resham with masterclass shadow work. The embroidery is done with Golden Cream shade on Pink base, and creates illusion of a different colour as the thread colour lends its own shade to the Pink shade. Gauraiya motif is interspersed in between the geometric shadow design to show a bird flying in and out. These are hand embroidered in very fine Zardozi craft, with Qasab Taar Aari outline for each bird. Each bird has Chikankari stitches, along with very fine Zardozi embroidery with micro sequins and rainbow glass beads. These beads though very tiny to the naked eye, catch and reflect colour beautifully, while leaving the onlooker bewildered as to where the glow is emanating from. Each Golden Bird stands out richly on the palla and body, till 2.5 metres Body : The saree has very beautiful antique borders of Chikankari, where at places a Qasab Taar (zari coated filament) has been intertwined with Resham Taar to do embroidery and at places they have been embroidered separately on same motif in a definite pattern. This is to give rich attention to detailing in every nook and corner of the saree. Rest of the body has floral bootis scattered all over. Micro Sequins are tucked in all over the saree, that give the saree a subtle, graceful glow. This saree is a Rare, Conceptual piece of Art, and meant for Collectors of the Craft. Blouse: Pure Crepe Blouse with micro sequins embroidered all over This saree does not need very heavy jewellery, as it is a jewel in itself. Just some well chosen diamonds will complete the look.

Khayal (Moodboard): The month of Chaitra (roughly March mid to April mid), is one with Pink summers setting in, where the air is still free of the upcoming scorching heat, and the coolness of the winter months gone by, make the mornings and evenings very pleasant. It is a month, where the Earth, especially in Northern plains of India, springs the most beautiful blossoms all around. The most prominent amongst them are tall Kaner bushes, with stunning Pink blossoms all over them, weighing the delicate boughs down in their sweet ambrosia. These Kaner flowers are also known as Chaitra Gulaab, as their appearance is similar to roses, and colour is a stunning Pink. When reflected against a cornflower blue sky, and with other blossoms filling up all garden spaces, they make a meadow in any city, town or village. In Lucknow, they are a common sight, and one that fills the heart with joy. Coupled with these are the tiny mangoes on tree boughs, that promise to soon grow into large vats of heavenly nectar. Together, they make Chaitra Upvan an oasis to cherish. This is the Khayal that defines this saree the best. Poshaak (about the saree): This is a saree fit for a Vault Collective. The saree Pallu itself has 14 unique embroidery patterns; please note that this adds intricacy & complexity in the work & thus makes it more premium. Even the corner most areas of the saree has nuanced details The body is all over painstakingly embroidered with unique embroidery patterns. Such sarees are made in hair like 2-3 taar filament of super fine embroidery thread only, allowing deeper patterns to be made. Time taken to make such sarees is almost a year. Sarees of this kind are the finest and rarest quality of Chikankari, that classify as Heirloom pieces. Such sarees are Collectibles for fine craftsmanship enthusiasts.
