Design Inspiration

Monsoon holds immense significance for Bengal, serving as a lifeline for crops, relief from summer heat, and a cultural touchstone. However in present times, Bengal's monsoon has witnessed disruptions due to climatic changes and global warming.


I chose to draw inspiration from the monsoon for the motifs in this garment collection. By weaving the essence of the season into each design, this collection aims to celebrate the monsoon's beauty while urging thoughtful reflection on the pressing environmental issues threatening its balance.

  • Cotton yarn in warp and weft, Plain weave

  • Silver Zari for stripes and extra weft

  • White Matka Silk in motifs (extra weft)
