Such intriguing European Folklore has inspired us to translate their fantastical visions into this mystical collection of ethereal Romance of this fictitious genre of this cultural legacy.

Our proposed Spring/summer collection 2017 is deeply influenced by the traditional vibes of continental splendour and resplendence but with a sense of current style, prevailing methods and au-courant technology, transforming old world look into contemporary, to wear pieces.

The collection has a quintessential free spirited bohemian vibe with dash of organic vintage mood. Each look is a poetic balance of feminine grace with contemporary styling.

Our Signature blend of hand woven textiles like fluid khadi silk, free flowing woven cotton, trendy light weight hand woven eco-friendly denim and chambray, finely woven diaphanous mulberry silk and sheer chanderi comprise the base fabric of the collection however to impart an international look to our Indian handlooms, miscellaneous au-courant fabrics like suede, mesh, etc. have been used in discrepant and minuscule manner to bestow an encompassing and global look to our indigenous handlooms as we feel now these fabrics should have an universal audience.

A dainty and refined colour palette consisting of soft hues of marshmallow, wheat, apricot, ecru, sand, caramel, dusty orange, rose, ocean blue, muted indigo, chrome, chartreuse, bamboo, canary yellow, olive, pomegranate and poppy red have been use in a tasteful but trendy manner.
