Description

The Aarohi Dress, meaning “to ascend” in Hindi, symbolizes growth, hope, and feminine strength. This ethereal gown embodies timeless elegance and modern femininity, making it a standout piece for unforgettable occasions.

We named this exclusive shade Cloud Petal — a soft, delicate hue inspired by petals gently kissed by morning mist. Created in collaboration with our artisan partners at Kumbaya, the fabric is meticulously handwoven from naturally dyed Kosha silk, celebrating sustainable luxury and traditional Indian craftsmanship.

Each dress is beautifully adorned with intricate zardozi embroidery, a centuries-old hand-embellishment technique that adds luminous depth, texture, and refinement. Designed as a dreamy, romantic statement piece, the Aarohi Dress flows effortlessly with the body, offering both comfort and elegance.

Perfect for weddings, special events, and elevated celebrations, this gown is a true expression of artisan-made luxury.

ARTISANAL NOTE

In 1994, Nivedita Banerji started Kumbaya as a stitching centre in a remote village in Dewas district, Madhya Pradesh. Today, over 100 women from marginalised communities work in Kumbaya Producer Company Ltd, where employment is guaranteed for 300 days a year.

Banerji says nothing is considered waste at Kumbaya, with leftover waste being reused to make another garment besides creating sustainable fabrics. “We have always re-used dead stock discarded by industrial fabric units and bought hand-woven and other artisanal cotton fabric made by skilled craftspeople across the country. I want to make Kumbaya work more on circular fashion and design,” she adds.
