We have an exclusive arrangement with a leading fashion designer in Gujarat, Archana Shah, with whom we have worked for ten years. Archana is based in Ahmedabad and is widely known throughout India for encouraging craftsmen and women to use their skills in the clothing that she makes. Archana has for many years worked with groups of artisans in Gujarat and beyond. She has fostered their traditional skills to improve the quality of their lives. We at Maharani are proud to have been associated with all that she and they have achieved. So you will find silk and cotton weaves, running stitch designs, embroidered muslins based on the chikan work from Lucknow, cotton tops and linen tops and dresses, all of which are exclusive to Maharani. We are pleased to include here photographs from Archana’s workshop. Recently we have also begun to work with Neeru Kumar, whose exquisitely designed clothing in tie-dyed silk, woven wools and silk and cottons is proving very popular as well as Darshan Shah at Weavers Studio in Kolkata. Finally we are thrilled to be working with Abraham and Thakore and Kashmir Loom.
Within the store you will also find cotton bedspreads, reversible cotton quilts and a range of old textiles including phulkari, bagh, kantha and much more.
Please also note that we have one of the widest ranges of shawls in London. These include the finest embroidered and plain pashminas, shawls in wool and cashmere as well as silk and cotton shawls and dupattas.
We also sell costume jewellery from Jaipur.
Everything in the store has been sourced personally in India.
We hope that you will enjoy shopping at Maharani.
