Celebrating India’s Heritage and Natural Beauty

Drawing inspiration from India’s rich cultural heritage and the splendour of its natural surroundings, the collection featured a rich tapestry of architectural, floral, and fauna motifs. The garments were adorned with exquisite Resham, Aari, and Dori embroidery, accentuated with Zardozi threads, Pearls, and French knots. These intricate details converged to create a sense of lightness, modernity, and ease, showcasing the artistry of embroidery in opulent threads.
