A Study in Red
Six reds, one Bengal.
From sindoor to oxblood — the reds Bengal raised. Each piece carries a different shade of the most loaded colour in the Bengali wardrobe: ritual lal-paar, the wine of a Baluchari, the sindoor border of a Garad, the deep oxblood of a wedding-night Anarkali.

Six shades of one colour, photographed across the catalogue. The Bengal Reds are not interchangeable — sindoor is the morning, lal-paar is the everyday, wine is the afternoon, oxblood is the evening, raktim is the wedding day, temple red is the festival. Choose by the hour, not the saree.
01
For the morning rites and the puja. Pair with white pearls; never with gold.
02
For evening dinners and recitals. Antique gold; jhumkas, sita-haar; nothing on the wrists.
03
For the bride. Real zari, real polki; the rest of the room knows it from the door.
