Happy Independence Day to India !!!
Each time I go to India, my objective is to discover and try out fresh homegrown Indian labels. Once the brand makes it to my closet, the information gets passed on to you all. Clearly, this time was no exclusion. Not only did I try a bunch of fresh brands, I even pre-ordered pieces for future delivery.
One brand that particularly caught my attention was Basanti Kapde our Koffee . I was casually perusing Pernia’s website for some Indo-western pieces and this labelled popped up on my feed. Not only was I drawn to the print being a print color, but the overall styling that was simple yet outstanding in its own way.
But first, lets talk about the brand name….
Indu and Sanjay Ahuja, a dynamic designer duo in Delhi launched BASANTI label with eccentricity, wearability and affordability in mind. They wanted to cater to a wider audience, a wider budget range. They have an upscale boutique in Delhi with a tiny coffee bar inside, hence the name BASANTI, Kapde Aur Koffee. Isn’t the cool!!!!
I bought this pistachio outfit with my Kolkata photoshoot in mind. It is a kaftan style kurta with a pair of sharara trousers- really graceful and comfortable. It has that cool resort vibe and has so much style potential. The set comes with a cropped inside slip which I feel is options. Feel free to skip it. The ruffles and the subtle embellishment on the lapel give it the right amount of dressy. I am in love with this and can’t wait to style differently for you all.
