Sticking to modern aesthetics while following sustainable practices (such as using tags made of seed paper) and traditional Indian textile techniques, Megha says, the saris at Nadiya Paar are “relaxed, imperfect, timeless with a lived-in feel”. The versatile collection at Nadiya Paar mostly come in plane weaves with zari borders, while the rest feature golden or silver checks and stripes. “ Linen yarn, being new to India’s hand weaving community, is the prime focus of the brand this time and we collaborate with weavers from Bengal, Bhagalpur and Banaras to create these easy-to-drape and elegant saris,” Megha shares. The designs on the saris are kept minimal, rendering a classy look and feel and the diverse colour palette seen in the collection ranges from neutrals to bright colours such as shades of indigo, brownish pink and such, most of which are extracted naturally from raw materials such as indigo, madder, turmeric, alkanet and pomegranate. Currently on a pan-India tour, the brand retails through exhibitions as well as online and will be seen at a design exhibition in Mumbai next.
