Chaturanga

Chaturanga

A novel by Rabindranath set in Colonial Bengal at the turn of 20th century. The story is a conflicting tale of love and morality and so the costumes are designed to bring out the contradictory natures of the characters. The toughest job of the costume designer is the research that needs to be done to depict a past age. Suchismita Dasgupta depicts the period convincingly and gives the characters a believable look.

Noil Kantha

Noil Kantha

The hand stitched kanthas are one of the oldest handicrafts of Bengal. The lost art of kantha has not only been revived in these saris but it has acquired a new meaning – the blend of conventional with contemporary. Delicate craftsmanship and meticulous attention to details makes this range stand apart. Suchismita has created this range using sketches and fabric samples to blend colour with kantha work to give a wearer a feel of exclusivity.
