In the shop
The whole rail in front of you, where the drape and the fall of a hem can actually be judged. 22 Orchid Lane, South Kolkata.
Where to find usFashioned with love, wear your story
Every flower on this kurta was put there by hand. The rail turns over quickly and pieces rarely repeat, so what is hanging this week is largely what there is — and if you cannot get to the avenue, they will hold it up for you on a video call.
22 Orchid Lane, South Kolkata, Kolkata. Open every day, 11:30 am to 8:00 pm.
Edited couture. Limited works. Designed to be rare.
Pieces arrive in small numbers and rarely come back, so the rail is never quite the same twice. 22 Orchid Lane, South Kolkata, open seven days a week from 11:30 am to 8:00 pm.
On the rail this week
Co-ord sets, cape sets, kurtas, palazzos and drapes, for cocktail evenings, receptions, mehendi and sangeet nights. Push along to see them.

The work you only see up close.
Sequins, beads, threadwork and floral appliqué, worked by hand on satin-sheen crepe and embroidered net. On the bandhani, every small white circle is a pinch of cloth tied by hand before the dye goes on, which is why no two lengths finish alike.
It is the kind of detail a photograph flattens. Held up to the light, a hand-embroidered panel reads completely differently.
Come and see one properly. We will get it off the rail for you.
Finding us on the avenue.
Look for the black board with the name in lit gold script, in English and in Bengali, and the hexagonal monogram at the left-hand end. The door is glass and it pushes open.
Open seven days a week, 11:30 am to 8:00 pm. Come in with the occasion in mind and the shoes you would wear with it.
Visit us, or shop by video call.

Can I buy without coming to the shop?
Yes. Telephone 000000 00000, tell us the occasion and what you have in mind, and we will show you the pieces on a video call.
What is bandhani, exactly?
Cloth that is tied before it is dyed. Each small white circle is a pinch of fabric knotted by hand so the dye cannot reach it. Because the tying is done by hand, no two lengths come out identical.
When is the shop open?
Every day of the week, from 11:30 am until 8:00 pm.
