Bengal has always been known for creating amazing Handlooms and different expressive craftsmanship. Through this collection, we celebrate the ethnicity as well as the global affection towards Bengal Handloom and craft. Due to pandemics our weavers and craftsmen have undergone a serious crisis in their livelihood and we tend to extend our support by creating our collection which will encourage the young generations towards this traditional weave in a more stylish way.
The summer collection prevails with a vast array of pastel hues, consisting of coral, tangerine, mint, teal, and many more. This collection is done exclusively with hand embroidery, appliquing, and different weaves from shantipur and Phulia with an array of interesting styles consisting of different styles of Jackets, Jumpsuits, skirts, and uniquely draped sarees.
