The Story
Inspired by modernist geometry and soft, sun-dappled palettes, the RAZA: Pastel saree is a masterpiece of wearable art. Handwoven from pure Mulberry silk, the body unfolds into a vibrant, 4.5-metre mosaic of irregular hand-blocked rectangles and geometric lines. Dyed by hand using precise wax-resist Batik techniques and azo-free dyes, its stained-glass arrangement in muted lilac, sage-pastel green, and warm mustard yellow offers an arresting visual balance that feels both architectural and effortless.
The Pallu & Blouse
To harmonise the rich geometric body, the flowing 1-metre Kora silk pallu steps back into quiet elegance. Rendered in an unblemished off-white base with subtle, organic wax-resist crackle textures, it finishes with a clean, tri-colour vertical border band in matching green, lilac, and mustard. The accompanying running blouse piece follows this minimalist philosophy, crafted in lightweight Kora silk and finished with coordinating tri-colour piping along the border.
Whether worn for high-powered gallery openings, exclusive dinner gatherings, or elevated daytime occasions, this piece drapes with a whisper-light, butter-soft fluidity.

Note from the Atelier: As an authentic hand-dyed and handwoven textile, subtle variations in colour distribution, yarn slubs, or characteristic wax batik crackles are natural signatures of the artisan's touch. Far from imperfections, they make your saree truly one-of-a-kind.
The Inspiration
Inspired by abstract art and modern design movements, we have explored the quiet power of form and flow. Finding beauty in the essential — a curve, a line, a geometric frame — and reimagining them as carriers of emotion, movement, and pause. Much like a brushstroke or a sculpted edge, these forms speak in subtleties: the suggestion of rhythm, the hint of stillness, the harmony of contrasts. The collection draws on the belief that form is never static — it holds memory, motion, and meaning within its contours.
The Collection
In Akaar, circles, lines, and shapes transcend their outlines to become woven poetry on silk — brought to life through the centuries-old craft of wax-resist Batik.
Each motif is first hand-drawn with hot wax, the cracks that form lending an organic, unpredictable beauty. When the cloth is dyed, these fine fissures bloom into intricate, almost celestial patterns, each telling its own unrepeatable story. Layer upon layer of wax and colour build depth, much like brushstrokes in a painting.
Crafted laboriously by skilled women artisans from the hinterlands of Bengal, every saree in Akaar is a singular expression — one of one — where the precision of form meets the fluidity of hand and the quiet poetry of imperfection.
The base fabric is a luxurious, soft and flowy handwoven Mulberry silk from Bengal.
Artisan
The hand Batik has been done on these sarees by Kajol Di and her team of every skilled women artisans in the Medinipur district of West Bengal. The hand drawing has been done by Surajit and Ashok Da which was then passed over to Kajol Di's team for the wax application and dyeing.
