The saris take inspiration from Goddess Saraswati and the onset of spring and are made with hand-spun cotton khadi. Handblock-printed motifs of swans, peacocks, ducks, grasshoppers and flowers add to the edit a playful note. There are also handwoven khadi saris in stripes and checks with traditional border designs. The saris are in four sizes fitting toddlers to teenagers from the age of two to 14, and range in length from 2.5meters to 4meters. These are available both in unstitched and pre-stitched forms. The prices of the saris start from Rs 800.
Coming to the ensemble for your champ, the punjabi/kurta sets also made from khadi cotton, in yellow and green, have embroidered characters from folk art and poems by Rabindranath Tagore on them. Kids from the age of five to 15 years can choose from the collection that starts from Rs 1,000 onwards. Talking about the collection, Abhik Sengupta, founder of Earth & Partners, said: “With the prevalence of synthetic fabric for kids’ saris, we were driven to work towards a sustainable and superior alternative. This collection is also a humble initiative by me and my wife Sabnam to keep today’s generation rooted in their culture and heritage by use of traditional art forms of hand-block and kantha embroidery. These young children will carry the wisdom to support local artisans while being conscious about sustenance as they choose what they buy, in their journey ahead and pay a true tribute to the Goddess."
