The Banna Dasara Collection : For Puja or to Play Garba !!!!

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.

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.
