The collection themed ‘The Winter Rose’ is deeply inspired by the westernised interpretation of the saree usually worn by the Princesses in warm climate of India to acclimatise to the cold, windy London and Paris during their visits while fully retaining their opulence and glamour. This collection pushes the boundaries on the perception of hand-woven textiles by infusing playfulness while tightly retaining the highest quality of the craft of handweave. The colours are a celebration of festive winters with ruby red, celebratory orange, royal purple and fuchsia pink, emerald green with luxurious vintage gold zari work.
