Palak Shah’s Ekaya Brings Together the Best of Both Worlds
Palak seems to be designing for a woman who is the epitome of impeccable style, but also values where she comes from.
Palak Shah’s Ekaya Banaras is a masterclass in amalgamating opposites. Marrying simplicity with lots of drama, traditional with contemporary, constantly evolving while staying true to the roots. At its core, the brand is all about honouring the age-old craft of handloom, but the visual language of the brand is anything but traditional.
From heart-shaped bralettes to houndstooth and psychedelic prints, Ekaya proves that a handloom saree can very well be couture. And your saree can have a lot of gravitas with a rich, impeccable fabric, but you can also pair it with a hot pink micro-blouse.
In a time when brides are moving past just pretty outfits and gravitating towards textiles that have a story to tell, Ekaya understands the assignment.
Here are our top picks for the coolest sarees from the brand. You can thank us later!
