Traditional meets contemporary

Traditional meets contemporary

    If you want to browse through an array of designs and stylish ensembles, Weaves is the place to visit. The Weaves exhibition, currently on in the city, is where brands and western wear jostle for space. And the traditional wear at the expo is sure to find their way into many a wardrobe.
    From traditional saris to dupattas and embroidered cushion covers to other knick-knacks, there is something that will appeal to the sensibilities of all age groups. Artisans from Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar, Jammu & Kashmir, West Bengal, Rajasthan and Orissa, which are famous for their Chanderi, Patola, Kanjeevaram, Uppada, Gadwal, Crepe, Tussar, Kota, Sanganeri, Sambalpuri and many other varieties of saris and textiles, have brought out some beautifully designed works.
    The home décor section boasts of products like patchwork bedspreads, Sanganeri bedsheets and contemporary home furnishings. Though one may consider these designs traditional, they are hugely in demand. The products are affordable and also make for good gifts.
    Other products, which are quick to fly off the racks, are designer suits and dress materials, much favoured by youngsters. So, if you’re looking out to add something ethnic and contemporary to your wardrobe, drop in at Weaves this weekend and get your share of gorgeous weaves.
    Weaves is on at Hotel Tip Top Plaza, Near Check Naka, LBS Marg Thane (W), till March 24 from 10 am to 8 pm.
