Says the duo about their collection: “Our debut collection consists of paneled saris, lightly embellished lehengas, drape dresses, floor length anarkalis, occasion wear tunics and also a line of festive wear for girls and boys.

This being a festive collection for the upcoming party and new year season, we have created silhouettes in a palette of bright colours. These are further embellished using traditional embroidery techniques on chiffons, georgettes, crepes and nets.”
