Handwoven khadi, hand-dyed in madder root — cloudy, uneven, no two tiers alike. Three gathered tiers drop from a bodice hand-stitched in kantha. The skirt moves in layers when she walks.

View DetailsAashar is named for the Bengali month that brings the first monsoon. The dress is handwoven jamdani cotton, dip-dyed by hand in a natural indigo vat — no two panels catch the dye the same way. Kimono sleeves fall loose past the elbow, and a self-tie belt lets the fabric find its own shape on the body. It is meant to soften and crease into the wearer over the years.
View DetailsA lehenga that refuses every soft cue the form usually carries. The skirt is not a skirt — one flat panel of stiffened silk-cotton, cut as an inverted trapezoid, holding its own architecture without a single gather. The dupatta is gone, replaced by a wide black silk sash knotted low at the left hip. Bridal in silhouette, sovereign in tone — for the wearer who wants the weight of the occasion without any of its sentimentality.
View DetailsSix meters of emerald silk-organza, cut apart and stitched back together on purpose. The pleats are no longer draped — they are constructed, offset, held in permanent architecture. The pallu no longer falls — it rises, wired into a rigid diagonal wing from the left shoulder. Every seam where the cloth was rejoined is traced in broken gold zari, a quiet ledger of the fracture.
View DetailsA floor-length coat that treats the body like architecture. The right shoulder softens into a hand-draped fall of silk that crosses the torso like a pallu, its edge traced in a single unbroken line of gold zari. The left shoulder holds its opposite — squared, exaggerated, structured like a beam. Worn open over a sheer column or belted low with raw leather, it is the opening statement of the collection.
View DetailsCut on the bias from whisper-weight handloom silk woven in Bhagalpur. No darts, no shaping, no closures — the bias does all the work, letting the silk fall exactly the way it wants to. Two delicate straps, a low straight back, small hand-finished vents at the hem. Meant to be worn alone, layered, or slept in. Made in a run of thirty.
View DetailsCut from heavyweight handloom cotton-linen woven on pit looms in Bhagalpur. A wide-leg high-waisted shape built on two deep front pleats and a clean flat waistband — the geometry borrowed from mid-century tailoring, softened by the natural slub of the weave. No belt loops, no back pockets. The waistband is the detail. Made in a run of thirty.
View DetailsCut from heavyweight handloom raw silk woven on pit looms in Bhagalpur. The shape borrows from Chandigarh's modernist geometry — dropped shoulders, a boxy body, a collarless neckline finished with a raw hand-torn edge. Coconut shell buttons, hand-polished. The silk softens with every wash, the raw edges settle into themselves, and the shirt begins to sit the way it wants to. Made in a run of thirty.
