So, grab one when you like one ! You are not likely to see a 'Kasha' same as yours! We work with women artisans from Karnataka, who are fighting
hard to keep alive the fine dying art of Kasuti hand embroidery. While we celebrate and enjoy their craft we could light up their lives too, by encouraging them with our support . Clothing speaks a language of its own. Kanchan, certified Image Consultant , uses the knowledge on the subject in our creations. We painstakingly work on the fine elements of design-
line, colour, shape, pattern and texture. The final output is classic, traditional, yet trendy and chic. Our range includes formal, work wear- power dressing to festive and wedding collection. Many of our sarees come with options of two diverse blouse fabrics, to facilitate dressing 'Up' or 'down', with the same saree. The intricate hand embroidery- Kasuti’s ( kai) and Suti ( cotton) dates back to the Chalukya dynasty of the 17th century. The embroidery involves stitches like Ganthi( double running), Murgi ( zigzag),
Neygi(running) and Menthe(cross). The women courtiers in the Mysore Kingdom in the 17th century were expected to be adept in 64 arts, with Kasuti being one of them. The traditional motifs draw inspiration from animals, birds, pallenquins, flowers ,and rangoli designs.
Our women artisans, (some over 70 yrs ) work their magic with Kasuti art form. Lack of patronage and ‘duplicity’ by machine embroidery is a big challenge and threat to this art form. We take orders for your special events. Kasuti gifts are valued and treasured for a lifetime. This is a time consuming process and we request adequate time to execute your orders. We understand you have some favourite sarees, and will be happy to give them a new look. So,hold on to your emotional anchors- a bit of your moms heart , or that special gift.
