This season of festive, fall, winter 2019, we bring to you a #collection of love, devotion, flamboyance and vibrancy - through our contemporary interpretation of Pichwais.”
Pichwais were originally devotional pictures of Lord Krishna drawn or embroidered on paper or cloth, respectively. The originated in Rajasthan and other than their artistic appeal, they were used to narrate the stories of Krishna to the illiterate.
“Redefining forms and art of the traditional textile, the label makes an endeavour to fuse the traditional with the modern.

Silhouettes are fluid, easy and feminine to bring in sensuality and comfort,” a press release read.
