By IANSlife New Delhi, Nov 27, (IANSlife).A crack in the southern wall leads back to a royal past, where zari pure spun gold and silver-in form of sarees, finds its way into 2021.
With the introduction of Shanti in Mehrauli, Shanti makes India’s most treasured craft accessible to four generations.
The brand’s gifts will be a personal legacy that can be passed on from one generation to another, rooted in Banaras’ heritage of handmade mastery.
The combination of silk and gold is used to tell stories through intricately woven sarees or lehengas.This reflects the intergenerational dynamics between the family and the company’s family.
Rama Mehra Studio designed the store’s warm atmosphere, allowing you to fully immerse yourself into this living legend of a trade.You will find a rich colour scheme lit by delicate mogra light fixtures.There are also splashes gold and silver.The iconic Mogra chandelier hangs under an old mirror and bathes the room with light and romance.
Every piece of furniture is adorned in soothing tones of green and taupe.The store’s modern front and heritage compound wall are flanked by the store’s sweeping staircases.
They are a mirror to what you will find inside: old-world craftsmanship mixed with a 21st-century aesthetic surrounded by fresh greenery.Mrs.Mehra says, “We wanted the store communicate Shanti’s language of history colliding and avant-garde fashion where the showcase is thoughts and values in addition the products.”
The store is divided into three sections.The first includes a gallery of pichwai artworks alongside a stunning display of shawls.The second section features Dampaj weaving Zari sarees, Jangla, and exquisite brocades.
The final section features hand-embroidered lehengas with stunning zari work.
Khushi Shah, who created the store, said that “This business has four generations of ambitions for a craft we adore.” Rama Mehra Studio, a family of designers who have similar styles to ours, has a store and a wedding venue.These intergenerational interactions reflect the completeness of Shanti.Amrit Shah, co-founder, says that the store would allow Zari to be easily accessed.”That is why we bring this Banaras experience and its handmade mastery, Mehrauli.”
