The adaptability of the saree ensures that you can create an eye-catching look that is modern and rooted in tradition. The lightweight and flowy nature of these fabrics ensures that you can embrace the gravitas and versatility of sarees, allowing you to stay fresh, elegant and impeccably fashionable no matter where your day takes you,” adds Sardar.

Summer style is all about beating the heat with effortlessly chic casual looks that give you the flexibility to flow through your days like a summer breeze. “Inspired by the constant movement of nature (imagine gentle winds and river currents), our ‘Glow with Flow’ collection was launched appreciating the poetry of movement, invoking confidence and a gentle reminder to breathe and let go.
