And lay hands on other ethnic lovelies

And lay hands on other ethnic lovelies

When it comes to six yards of sexiness, nothing beats antiquity. Age-old ethnicity hits the city in the form of Vastra Shobha, and we thought it'd be a good idea to stock up on this stuff.

There are wide range of Chanderi and Banarasi sarees to choose from, at this exhibition. Keeping the season in mind, they're light weight and easy-to drape. The duppattas are both plain and printed, with intricate embroidery. Also available here are a multitude of borders. The high point, however, is the range of sarees that are 100-years-old. These exclusive pieces have been collected from all over the world, with those from Bikaner and Jaipur being the best bets.u00a0

Of course, there's some fabulous jewellery to go along, too. Pick from anklets, earrings, bracelets, bangles and maang tikkas among others. Consisting of precious and semi-precious stones, the studs include rock crystal, amethyst, beads, pearls, Peruvian opal, golden topaz and an entire kundan range. "The semi-precious stones are ideal for summer since they don't fall heavy on your body. A riot of colours, ranging from pink, orange, blue and green to peach, makes it a delight to choose from," says Shobha Deepak Singh, the designer behind Vastra Shobha.
