About the Brands:
Dola Mukherjee Wearable Art: It has been conceived with the idea to showcase the rich weaving and crafts heritage of India. Lovingly called a “narrative woven with fabric”, it is these narratives and stories that are woven with the warp and the weft, that are painted with the brush, that are embroidered with the needle and thread. That is what makes the world of ‘WearableArt by Dola’ unique and fascinating! Through this medium of expression, it seeks beauty in the mundane, magic in simpler things!
Elora's Art: A journalist by profession, Elora Sen started painting to overcome the dark days of the pandemic. Completely self-taught, she loves to paint nature in all its glory. She has already had two successful solo exhibitions of her water colours. She also chanelises this passion of hers into a cause that is very dear to her. Most of the proceedings from the sale of her paintings are donated towards charity.
Dali by Madhumita: Love for floral prints, cotton fabric and contemporary cuts, prompted Madhiumita to launch her own brand of casual wear-‘ Dali’! Her love for various crafts of India, prompts her to use ‘ Ajrakh’, ‘ Bagru’ and ‘ Dabu ‘ Block prints and pure weaves. Madhumita’s mission is that everybody wearing ‘ Dali by Madhumita’ should shine in their most casual moments !
What: Exhibition Cum Sale- Sambhar- the Festive Collection.
