For Puja or to play Garba, colors, silks
and jewellery seem to be just the right ingredients. Be it the dazzling brightness of the October
Sun or the colors of the shy Sunset, we’ve captured them all through various
prints and weaves. Vivid, bright, blocks, gold, design – all these elements are
woven into our designs for sarees and dupattas. Splashes of pink, maroon,
orange, brown, black in lovely and bold designs give the ensemble just the
right look for a great evening.
As the festivities begin, the drums beat,
the music reverberates…design acquires another meaning. Interestingly, colors
form the very basis of this festival – the triumph of good over evil. As you
check out the sweets, traditionally prepared or the fine threads that go into
the making of sarees, dupattas, shirts, skirts, blouses and so on, spare a
thought for the artisans who have worked, investing their imagination and
excitement into these products. Each product comes to you with Banna’s special
touch – the colors, designs and the same aura that we fuse to ‘handcraft your
style’. All products have received the
finishing touch – from tassles, finishing embroidery, picco, hemming (to name a
few) - from Banna’s sustainability programs.
We have also brought a vast array of tribal
jewellery – from bell drops, rings, beads, loops – all crafted in using brass,
copper and silver, to produce that special effect. Rustic glamor! That’s it.
Mix and match, choose the right accessory to go with your special Dusshera
wear.
Some hightlights from the collection :
SILK KOTA SAREES - This midnight blue-black silk kota saree
with its bold mustard and green motifs is as attractive as it get. The motifs
are clearly attractive drawing attention to the bold design. If it is kota, it
has to be bold! Right lady?
And,
when the weavers sat down to a wholesome mean of Indian bread and vegetables,
they recalled their stories heard from their childhood. The Kota sarees, popularly known as 'Masuria' in
Kota and Kotadoria outside the state draw their word thread from 'Doria', which
means thread. Seeing how attractive this
has been, the many co-operatives are helping the weavers produce items other
than sarees from Kota Doria – such as lamp shades, curtains, skirts and
salwar-kamiz. As for the Kota saris,
they display individuality with a bit of embroidery and border patches, making
them totally exclusive.

TUSSAR RAW SILK SAREES -
The most unusual of colors make a striking
rhapsody! Today, it is the age of ‘make locally, sell global’. Beige, with
yellow and a shocking pink appearance give the saree a special hue.
So, what! It’s Dussehra time. It’s time to
bring out your sweet recipes, do your shopping and begin the festive
preparations for the festival. The artisan has borrowed from the colors of the
festival – the brilliance of yellow, the maturity of beige and the shock effect
of that pink. Sitting cross-legged, recalling stories told by the grandmas and
grand aunts, the artisan family agree to try out new colors. Let’s go bold,
appears to be the theme of this saree.

THE MADHUBANI CHANDERI COLLECTION -
Madhunbani Chanderi black dupatta
It’s midnight black. And, black is
beautiful. So, when can you wear it? At a Dusserha party in the evening, where
you get to show off the lovely madhubani border.
Chanderi is light and lovely. The colors
are bold and brilliant. When the artisan decides to combine different art
forms, it is also because he is actually trying to share his knowledge. It’s
his creativity that he expresses as he brings out his art skills in trying out the
most intricate design border on a midnight black body.

Orange chanderi rhapsody
The orange is more orange than the fruit
you can get from the best orchard. You need to be bold and charming to carry it
off! Walk into a party and check the pulse! Watch the heads turn….
The colors of flame, the colors of orange
and the colors of a passionate flame – that’s the color of ‘orange’. It can
appear to be tempestuous when it wants and attractive when it desires. As the
artisan sat down to introduce those threads, it may have been a reflection of
his excitement. His exchanges from his mind and reflections to action reflect
this passion. When you wear a handwoven dress or a saree, or a dupatta, stop to
feel the fabric. Take a deep breath and bless those hands that translated his
or her dreams into that ensemble.
