Our Silver Gujarati Tie has been sourced from Local charity shops and transformed by Sapna, using detailed embroidery and embellishments inspired by the Jewellery and Garments traditionally worn during Garba. Garba is a traditional Gujarati Folk dance that honours the divine feminine energy of the Goddess Durga. The Oxidised Jewellery is typically made with tiny bells and embellishments to make noise whilst the dance is performed. Sapna has dedicated this tie to Garba, as she remembers dressing to perform when she was a child. The feeling of the oxidised jewellery made her feel connected to her roots when she was younger, and that feeling still lingers with her today.
This knot bag was originally a saree that was donated to Sapna to give it a new life. Sapna turned the saree into a knot bag with a beautiful beaded trim, thus repurposing materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Comes with a floral beaded trim.
Small bag which can fit phones, keys, wallets and other small essentials.
Dimensions: 35cm Wide x 35cm High
Our Gold Peacock tie has been sourced from local charity shops and transformed by Sapna, using detailed embroidery inspired by the Jewellery and Garments of the Mughal Era. Sapna uses materials she has personally sourced from Surat (Gujarat, India) to create embellishments and embroider motifs representative of fashion in India before colonialism. This tie has been mostly free-hand embroidered by Sapna. She’s worked on this tie in parks, libraries, cafes and in her home studio. It has travelled with her to a variety of places and has been in the making for a few months. This tie features Crystals by Swarovski®.
