summer hues. It’s a stark diversion from their monochrome regulars. The fine cottons and silks, with keen sense of detailing rule the shelves of their boutique. India inspired elements find their way through the western collection. The designer duo finds cotton as one of the most versatile fabrics and they love experimenting with the textures the fabric can exhibit. Making use of soft cotton, and influenced from the traditional weaves of Bengal, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, Abraham & Thakore create a collection that their clients love to adorn.
