Arpita
Arpita inhabits a grid that is more conversational than rigid. Vertical stripes meet horizontal borders in a deliberate framework, softened by linen’s diffused surface. Within each check, zari and kadhua meenakari florets are placed as discrete acts of weaving - the shuttle pausing to build each motif thread by thread. Like Arpita Singh’s layered canvases, its ordered structure becomes a vessel for intimacy, each enclosed detail carrying its own quiet story.

Collection Note - Intersections brings the earthy tactility of cotton-by-linen weaves into dialogue with the language of Banarasi craftsmanship. Stripes, checks, and floral accents emerge with a softened edge, the natural diffusion of linen’s texture tempering the precision of the master weaver’s hand. Tension is finely calibrated to the fibre’s inelastic nature, reed settings adapted to maintain clean patterning, and zari with meenakari is worked in the slow, exacting kadhua technique. Each saree is a study in intersections: of fibre and form, restraint and ornament, personality and pattern.
