In the sartorial world, checks have a special significance. They are forever in fashion, always loved and appreciated. From children’s school uniforms to high fashion runways checks are everywhere and how!

Bengali women cherish cotton sarees for their comfort, elegance, and cultural significance. These breathable, organic sarees are ideal for daily wear and formal occasions. Supporting local artisans, they embody tradition and modernity, making them a national treasure.

Rings are definitely top of that list of jewellery. Although seemingly small in size, rings do pack a punch! From dainty, barely-there ones to oversized, chunky ones and everything else in between, rings are incredibly fun and add just the right amount of pizzazz to one’s look.

Red symbolises love, passion, and energy. Revered in various cultures, it signifies hope, good luck, and strength. Iconic in fashion, red dresses, sarees, and lipstick captivate and inspire, making a timeless statement.

The fall of this regime has exposed an entirely different side of our society and collective consciousness that was better left hidden.

A gown is not just a mere dress. It is a shining beacon of hope, of wishes that one has held dear in one’s heart since childhood. Most women will agree, the right outfit has a magnificent transforming effect on a person instantly.

There’s something special about heirlooms. More than their actual value the worth they hold with memories and sentiments is invaluable.

A bag is the best and easiest way to bring instant polish to your one’s look. From day to day, our moods vary, and the places we go to and just life in general are not the same. A reasonably stylish woman needs a couple of bags in her wardrobe that will cover all her sartorial grounds with flair. 

While there is hardly anything as symbolic as hues of red and white for Pahela Baishakh, this year we are excited for something new, something different!

That blind obsession with the sartorial choices of Bollywood actresses and celebrities is a thing of the past; we have, at long last, come into our own.

Blessed are we to have another beautiful month of Ramadan. Indeed, it is the most wonderful time of the year when we are in our kindest, nicest selves. And to go with that kind, pious self our faces must reflect the inner glow that is within us for the grand finale — Eid!

Jackets for summer? What an oxymoron that is! In our part of the world where summer is sweltering hot, why on earth would one need jackets, one would ask. The jackets we are suggesting are not the heavy, woollen ones meant for colder climates. Rather, easy, breezy and beautiful — summer jackets are an absolute staple for your wardrobe and beyond!

Another winter, another dozen weddings to attend. The pomp and circumstance surrounding a wedding is on steroids these days in Dhaka and you are here for it! Having secured your invitation to the most extravagant ones of the season, your outfits have been sorted, each more extravagant than the last.

In every culture around the world wedding attires are held in the highest of regards. Made from the most exquisite materials, with care and love a sari, or the bridal gown in the West is treated with utmost respect. Katan saris intended for brides are woven with gold zari or thread, rendering the garment fit for a queen!

An incredibly versatile fabric, velvet can be anything you want it to be. Velvet saris are magnificent for this season and beyond. An iconic creation, velvet saris embellished with zardozi work, crystals and cutdana work look stunning as eveningwear. Worn with a brocade blouse it’s the perfect outfit for those glittery weddings and parties.

Awards season is upon us and we are here for it! Golden Globe is the first big event of the year, with its plethora of stars, glitz and glam galore! Celebrities graced the event with their scintillating presence, delivering some truly fashionable moments. The stars showed up in fantastic outfits, setting the red carpet on fire after months and also providing cues for all things trendy for 2024!

If one fashion trend has taken the world by storm in the last couple of years, it is undoubtedly the coord! Shortened terminology for the coordinated set, this particular attire has taken the fashion world by storm. Everyone out there — from women and men to children — owns at least one set of coords and for good reason. Stylish and trendy they are a fashion-favourite and here to stay for the foreseeable future!

They have been around for the longest time but checks were never this exciting! Once relegated to office shirts and school uniforms before they were reimagined and reinvented in the best way possible, nowadays checks are anything but boring and plain.

What truly sets this season apart are the beautiful hues that imbue our lives with happiness and joy. To begin with, there’s the eternal white, pristine and pure, in a league of its own. This hue, or lack thereof, symbolises all that’s good and sacred.

With a spring in your step, you go to work, as the scarf has given your mood a much-needed boost of confidence and happiness; everyone compliments how fresh and sophisticated you look!
