Designer Amit Aggarwal has collaborated with shawl brand Dusala to create a collaborative collection of handloom sarees, capes and stoles crafted with zari.
The Amit Aggarwal x Dusala collection features 15 garments in a range of metallic hues of gold, green, beige, purple, and teal among others. Each piece in the collection is given a name inspired by poetry including Hasrat, Jahan, Tabeer, Ranjish, and Arsh among others. Shawls and sarees are contrasted by slightly more structured garments including a waterfall style jacket and loose cape.
The new collection retails on Dusala’s dedicated e-commerce store and prices range from $929 (Rs 67,752) to $2,566. It also features in a campaign shot by Ankit Chawla with model Rashmi Mann and coordinated by Jahnvi Bansal. The campaign also features “poetry and translation by Amit Aggarwal,” Dusala shared on Facebook.
Dusala specialises in pashmina weaves and retails from its founder Sugandha Kedia’s multi-brand store ‘One’ store in Raipur as well as its e-commerce store. Kedia founded Dusala with the aim of promoting pashmina globally and providing employment for skilled weavers, according to the brand’s website.
