collections > Bengali Girl
Bengali Girl is an ode to the ageless elegance and ancient textiles of West Bengal, India. It recalls the feminine, modern glamour of 1950s black-and-white Bollywood cinema, and infuses it with colors inspired by nature’s bountiful landscape. Bengali weavers have been hand-weaving the silks and linens featured in this collection for centuries. The production of "garad" silk was at a standstill prior to the launch of Bengali Girl in 2006. Buying cooperative silks and cotton support age old traditions and help further their development.
