KHAYAAL (moodboard): The Khayal or Aatmamanthan behind keeping this collection under the name Dhanlakshmi was very clear, we wanted to make a repository of Heirloom Sarees, where we can create colours & palettes that signify the opulence of Sri Lakshmi. After successfully venturing into Gold, Silver hues, and Pearl, Firoza, Precious stones like Tourmaline, Agate hues, we wanted to include Gemstone shades. Even as we though about it, it was amply clear to us that this is only possible on Tussar Silk from Bhagalpur looms. Tussar Silk is one of the most perfect fabrics for antique quality Chikankari; it is appropriately supple, tenacious, luminous at the same time, & yet it's earthy texture provides a rich background for elegant stitches of Chikankari, and in gemstones colour we want. Manikyam is Sanskrit word for Ruby. This beautiful deep Red saree is an Heirloom Piece for your wardrobe, that will create the wearer's own heritage till they wear it, that they can hand down to generations that will love to showcase it in a private viewing perhaps!! POSHAAK (about the saree): Manikyam is our first set of Dhanlakshami Chikankari saree on Handspun and Handwoven Tussar Silk, a dream that we had been working on for past 2 years. The pallu has very old archived motifs, re created recently in our unit. All major motifs seen here are especially commissioned by Meiraas, taking reference from archival motifs. The stitched used are of 3 broad quality: Embossing, Surface Texture and Hand CutWork. The palla has our boota, coupled artistically with another archival motif in a beautiful design symmetry. The stars of Mukaish anoint this saree strategically. If the palla is viewed from the top, it gives the impression of a rich engraving on an ancient monument. The luscious Ruby Red saree (an auspicious colour for all weddings and festivals), is finished with complimenting rust orange tussar silk selvedge. Please Note: Shades like Green & Red appear different in different lights (indoor/outdoor), this is the nature of such colours and out of anyone's control. Please keep this factor in mind before ordering.

KHAYAAL (moodboard): Yakshi is a celestial nymph mentioned in Ancient Puranic texts and epics like Ramayan and Mahabharat. The khayal to name this collection, Yakshi came with the Temple Art of India, like Khajuraho group of temples; the celestial nymphs are set in stone in the most beautiful expressions in these temples. They have been made with such devotion and aesthetics that one can imagine them coming to life at night, and reliving the days of past glory!! Linen as a fabric was extensively worn in almost all Ancient Civilisations. In fact some sources suggest the possibility of white on white embroidery being worn in Chandragupta Maurya's court, on thinnest of muslins. This is why, when we conceptualised Chikankari on Linen, we dedicated the moodboard to Yakshi of that age. Raktambari, a Sanskrit name, which is derived from, Rakt (Blood) Ambar (Sky), is a name given to this stunning and bold Red Chikankari saree with Red Resham Embroidery; something we can imagine a Yakshi draped in. POSHAAK (about the saree): This blood red coloured handwoven Linen saree, has a beautiful floral border running all through the saree, with many dainty stitches crafted to perfection. The palla has a cluster of floral bouquet, that has been embroidered with stitches of surface (shadow) and raised surface (ghaspatti) embroidery, amongst other stitches of Chikankari. Rest of the saree has scattered floral motifs to enhance its bold and statement making look. The saree also comes with a running embroidered blouse piece. Styling Tip: Like most Meiraas creations, this saree can be dressed up & down for multiple occasions, whether work wear or party wear. Dress it up with diamonds or polkis for an evening out, Gold for that traditional yet diversified look, and statement silver jewels for that special day at work. Please Note: Slight wrinkles are part of Pure Linen texture. Linen is the most low maintenance fabric. Ideally before draping this saree, take it out and spread it and hang somewhere at least a day before; its wrinkles will smoothen significantly. Mostly it should be worn with slight wrinkles, yet if you wish to iron the dhobi press will be fine, with a cloth on top.
