As designers and members of  the creative space, we are constantly on the look out for inspiration. “As I watched the song Señorita from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara play on screen, with all its quirkiness and grace, I thought this was the perfect way forward for our new collection. The culture & dressing immediately caught my eye and the more I read about it, the more exciting it proved to be” - Vaishali Agarwal. 

One of our challenges was to take ideas from these silhouettes, colours and embroideries and merge them into Indian clothing. We incorporated Flamenco’s movements, gypsy colourful fashion, the gilet jacket and patterns and motifs. The colour palette selected was divided into the pastels and the bright bold colours.

A collection, colourful and vibrant, with the center of attention being the Patola weave. Ranki consists of hand-picked sarees from Patola in various styles and dyes. The technique is known to very few weavers and takes about 6 months to a year for each of these sarees to be put together. These designs are seen on both the body and the pallu and look very similar to a patan patola saree that woven in Telangana itself. 

Our collection sees many twill sarees – patches and cuts, combined with stunning embroidery and silhouettes to give a modern, eclectic twist to the original art form. There are silhouettes such as long dresses with jackets, short smart kurtas, lehengas and even indowestern jacket pant sets apart from the variety of sarees present in our store. 

Regal radiance of western India can be summed up in two words- Bandhani and Leheriya, and our collection Ujavani is dedicated to both. 

Born in the culturally rich land of Saurashtra, Bandhani is an appraisable craft and an oldest form of tie and dye. Once adored by royal eminences of archaic India, the craft is mainly known for its mesmerizing pack of patterns and exciting colour range. Leheriya, originated in Rajasthan, derives its name from a Rajasthani word 'leher’ meaning ‘wave’ acknowledging its complex wavy pattern. Ujavani closets a wide range of sarees and dupattas in various colours, patterns and fabric types and its fusion with Kanchipattu and Banarasi styles as well.
