Cultural Roots

This post is my first post about traditional Indian wear and the first thing which comes to one's mind when you think of Indian wear is those wonderful  6-9 yards of wonder, a Sari. Duh! This post gets more exciting because I collaborated with a great saree label, Kauzika Design from Kerela (Pssst! Kerela cotton is one of the best in the country). 

This saree is a printed cotton saree with a blue and copper embellished border. It's perfect for summers because its light and printed but the embellished border amps it up making perfect for a day to night look with just a change of accessories and make up. It's versatile enough to be worn by a wide range of age group. I paired this saree with a black halter-neck blouse and a traditional Maharashtrian nose ring. 

This collaboration was a very good experience, I had fun doing the shoot. My saree came all the way from down south to my city, which is in east. It was great working with Kauzika Designs who are working their way to the top. They are based in Thissur, Kerela. They have an amazing collection of sarees and specialise is custom made sarees, even the one I'm wearing was made as per my request. In India it's hard to get a label to make custom made sarees but Kauzika Designs rather wants their customers to give their input to make it just the way they want it.
