POSHAAK (about the product):
This beautiful Kurta spells Lucknow with every thread of its being! The neckline and sleeves have a beautiful Murri & Bijli motif detailing with very fine filament work. The shoulder has the classic shadow java (detailing) of the classical Chikankari era of kurtas.
The back has a symposium of Lotus flowers strung together in a statement motif, finished with fine shadow embroidery.
When you visit the Hazratganj market of Lucknow, you will see most buildings in the colour of a pretty soft yellow and pink, something very unique and very Lucknow. We wanted to use that kind of soft pastel pink for our Kurta.
This kurta spells Classic Lucknow like none can. You can shop plain pants to match with the same from Cotton Plain White Pants . Simply shop the pants and on customer note mention - please dye to match to make a Co-Ord set.

POSHAAK (about the product):
This contemporary style kurta borrows a playful theme from Boyfriend kurtas, and has a U shape hemline with a shorter rolled & loop button sleeve.
The Chikankari also follows a contemporary pattern in unique design philosophy, with detailing on one shoulder and a statement motif of Sun, on the opposite side of the neckline. This sun motif in itself was fashioned using 2-3 different motifs, to create a unique design language.
Aasmaani is the soft and fresh blue colour of the summer sky of Lucknow, that we has inspired the shade of this lovely kurta. You can pair this dress with Aasmaani Boyfriend roll up pants, for a very fun spin on Classic Chikankari.

POSHAAK (about the product):
A kurta that has taken our breath away with the simplicity of its design and yet the skilled artisanal work with rare stitches and lesser filament of Chikankari embroidery threads.
The slightly rounded hemline Kurta in Handloom Cotton has a unique design layout of diagonal stripes of a very traditional wall art mandana block. This strip is then embroidered with Orma and Murri, along with Phanda in very fine thread work, extensively. This work has also been done on the sleeves.
The back features a geometric floral pattern that pairs well with the unique strip motif on the front, making it a truly rich kurta with fine embroidery.
Cheeku Shake is a refereshing summer drink that was made in the homes of Lucknow in the Dopehri of Summers, as a seasonal, refreshing and healthy treat for the entire family! The beautiful soft brown hue of the kurta is inspired from this beverage.
You can pair this dress with Cheeku Shake pants, to make a very unique Chikankari Co-Ord set.

KHAYAL (mood board):"When i had designed the first Tunic & Palazzo set (it was yellow and my personal set), i was very new into this work & having grown up seeing Chikankari wanted something radically different in motifs and layout, yet something that does not defeat or overpower the elegant & laidback mood that the craft is identified with & loved for. I continue to be a rebel in my thoughts about designing Chikankari pieces & by now that has become a signature style of Meiraas. This ensemble was designed to be something you can slip on easily in casual or formal meetings in India, & as comfortably carry them in SoHo, New York or a French Countryside in a vineyard possibly. The idea was my rebellious little mind that wanted tradition to carry on, yet break from the pattern and do it" - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Design, MeiraasPOSHAAK (about the product):
Soft cotton Chikankari Tunic (Kurta) in Meiraas Exclusive Patta Boota Motif. The interesting part of this Motif Embroidery is the clever confluence of two styles of embroidery in one motif, both native to Lucknow, Aari & Chikankari. The Flower is filled with Aari stitch, whereas the rest of the motif is done in Chikankari. Both seamlessly come together in a perfect symbiosis.
About the Tunic (Kurta): The length is 41 inches for each Kurta. This length can be shortened 2 inches only on request. The motifs are 3 on hemline, one each on either shoulder. Please mention your size as per size chart on checkout.
About the Palazzo (Pants): The waistband is belt style (flat) in front & elastic at the back. The motif comes 1 each on each leg. Length is 37 inches and can be altered.
