Anra @ Colors - The Perfect Palette

My first exhibition in Kolkata was a reasonably good experience. It was a three day event wherein a lot of brands had come together to showcase their collections. My stall space was a little small but I tried to make the most out of it. 

So here are a few pictures of my stall -

My handmade scarf display heads

Handmade jewellery and folders

Moving over to what I was wearing during the event. I wore tunics from my own collection on both days.

Day 1 - I wore the layered vest inspired tunic made with handwoven cotton tant with yellow leggings. This style got sold out on the first day! 

Day 2 - I wore a teal colored tunic made with cotton and silk tant with tangerine jeggings and finished the look with a mustard cotton scarf.

I had a lot of fun meeting new people and making new friends. I am also thankful to my friends and family for all their support. I hope this would prove to be a stepping stone in my career.  *Fingers crossed*

What Now?

With the pressure of the exhibition and the launch of my label gone now, I got some time to relax and think about the bigger question ...... What next?

Although I haven't figured that out yet, I thought it would be a nice idea to share the collection here.

This cute little dress in yellow and maroon combination is perfect for this festive season. It has two shades of yellow and maroon straps, with detailing in two shades of green.

This little yellow dress, has a cute collar and keyhole at the back. Made in pure cotton with beautiful hand woven motifs all over, this makes for a festive wardrobe staple.

Take a look at all the other pieces from the collection on our Facebook page - Anra

You can now order Anra online at Indiebazaar!

A new beginning....

Apologies for such a long absence and for not updating before!

I had mentioned somewhere before that I am working on a project. Well it started off the day I started getting bored of my mundane job and decided that it was time to start up things on my own. But there were some financial problems. So I started setting up my studio slowly and steadily. And then suddenly one day a friend of mine called me up and asked me if I would be interested in setting up an exhibition!

Then started the most busiest month in my life as of yet! In only 45 days, I bought a sewing machine, hired a tailor, bought loads of beautiful fabrics, and designed and produced about 30-35 pieces which became part of my first collection!

Also, in the mean time I also did the branding of my brand, with a little help from a friend!

So let me introduce you to - Anra 

"Anra is a clothing line that offers graceful dresses and tunics made with exquisite Jamdani figured cotton fabrics straight from the villages of West Bengal. Jamdani, a process of weaving fine cotton in beautiful motifs, consuming numerous hours of hard work is an almost dying craft. Our USP lies in customization since well fit clothes are always in fashion! We promise to offer exclusive pieces that you will cherish for the rest of your life."

So two of my very good friends and great designers and me put up an exhibition launching our individual collections in New Delhi.

Well this much for now....I will post more about the exhibition later!

Bye
