Itching for a Benarasi lehenga for your Sangeet? Are you going nuts trying to find a traditional handloom saree for your mum? And does your sister want a bit of the old with the bit of the new? Well then, we visited Asha & Gautam (formerly known as Vinayak Couture) in Defence Colony recently and they may be able to sort you out.
2. Cerulean Blue Woven Jacket with skirt: Was the fan favourite on Snapchat, and we can see why, this was the perfect mix between heritage fabrics, worn in a modern way. The fresh green peeking out from under the slit gave the perfect amount of surprise to this outfit.
We took a spin around the quaint store situated in Defence Colony and discovered that the Mother-son duo of Asha & Gautam have been around for more than a decade. What we loved- fabrics which are timeless classics were given a modern spin with some cool new silhouettes, floaty anarkalis and the very in-vogue Benarasi lehengas.
Our favourites include:
1. Ombre Benarsi lehenga in rose pink : We loved the ombre effect on the traditional Benarsi lehenga and with the crop style top, its perfect for your Sangeet
Price: 1.2 Lakh INR
Price: 78K INR
3. Pink Anarkali in Kim Khwaab fabric: Perfect for the sister of the bride, this one is the one you need for all those twirling shots.
Price: 86K
.
4. Handloom Sarees for your mom: If your mom is a lover of traditional fabrics- think Bandhani, Benarasi, Silk and beautiful weaves, then the sarees would be a perfect 'forever' piece and one that could be heirlooms in the family for years to come. Definite must visit .
Price of bandhani saree on model: 50k+
5. Mehendi Lehengas for less: It's hard to find stylised lehengas that are appropriate for smaller functions and that won't break your bank. The pink lehenga skirt with brocade jacket as well as the Black and orange crop jacket with lehenga would be effortless additions to any bride's trousseau.
Prices start at: Less than 40K
We also spotted a bunch of other things that may catch your fancy. Take a look below.
