Description

The Anura Dress (अनुरा) – Derived from “anurāga”, meaning love and deep devotion.

The Anura dress is a true heirloom piece. Cut in a flowing silhouette, it features an elegant lace-up neckline adorned with tasselled ties and delicate beading. The bodice is beautifully hand-embroidered using zardozi, a traditional Indian technique known for its intricate gold threadwork — adding a touch of regal artistry to every stitch.

Scattered with small embroidered symbols across the skirt, the entire piece feels like a constellation come to life. Made in small batches by Kumbaya.

Handwoven mulberry silk
Adorned with zardozi embroidery

ARTISANAL NOTE

In 1994, Nivedita Banerji started Kumbaya as a stitching centre in a remote village in Dewas district, Madhya Pradesh. Today, over 100 women from marginalised communities work in Kumbaya Producer Company Ltd, where employment is guaranteed for 300 days a year.

Banerji says nothing is considered waste at Kumbaya, with leftover waste being reused to make another garment besides creating sustainable fabrics. “We have always re-used dead stock discarded by industrial fabric units and bought hand-woven and other artisanal cotton fabric made by skilled craftspeople across the country. I want to make Kumbaya work more on circular fashion and design,” she adds.
