Kimaya unveils Sabita Dhanrajgir’s saris

Designer Sabita Dhanrajgir Umrigar had a preview of her new

collection at Kimaya Avenue, The Collection, UB City, Bangalore, recently over wine and cheese. She returned to Bangalore with an exquisite hand-embroidered sari collection that will be now available at Kimaya through a dedicated rack in the store.

Dhanrajgir, the winner of the coveted Miss India Title 1978, and the granddaughter of the renowned Raja Dhanrajgir of Hyderabad has established herself as one of India’s finest exponents of specialized hand-embroidery. For over 30 years her elegantly handcrafted sequined, resham and cutwork saris have represented her royal lineage.

The new collection consists of chiffons and georgettes saris with intricately hand embroidered sequins, pearls and Swarovski crystals in resham, zardozi and cutwork. An array of colours, from pastels to bolder blues, greens and purple range from the delicate to bolder and more glamorous looks. Inspired by flowers - florals and geometrics dominate this collection.

This is the first time that Dhanrajgir’s collection will be available at a fashion house. The association of Kimaya and Dhanrajgir is absolutely befitting, bringing out the best of luxury retailing that Kimaya has always stood for. Dhanrajgir will add new saris every week – and each sari would be exclusive having no other replica.

Founded in 2002, Kimaya is India’s largest multi-designer luxury fashion house. It is the brainchild of Pradeep Hirani. It houses edited collections of 183 top Indian designers and a heady mix of middle-eastern and south-east Asian luxury brands.
