Folk Art
In the  Folk Art  category, the brand pays homage to the rich tapestry of folk traditions. Each sari is a canvas painted with colours extracted from nature’s wonders, showcasing the beauty of indigenous dyeing techniques. These saris are vibrant stories, reflections of the rituals and lifestyles of Asia’s diverse communities.

From the divine motifs of Mysore Krishna to showcasing the daily life of Minangkabau folk art woven into the sari, and the exotic elegance of Lai Thai decorative patterns to the intricate designs of Hasse Chithra where each piece tells its own unique story, they are, indeed, a study in craftsmanship.

Indian Heritage collection
Their Indian Heritage collection is a journey into the timeless traditions and crafts. It explores the exquisite artistry of various regions, from the intricate motifs of Benaras to the Bhujodi-inspired border motifs. Each sari in this category is a tribute to India’s unparalleled heritage, merging the past with the present in a harmonious blend of style and sophistication. It’s a celebration of the regal elegance of Corner Mango, the sophistication embodied by Kodali Karuppur, the vibrant intensity of Bhujodi sari, the intricate patterns of multi-coloured stripes, the cultural resonance found in Paithani, and the grandeur of the traditional Meena border in a rich mustard hue where each sari stands as a testament to India’s diverse and vibrant tapestry of art and culture.
