The KAGAJ BAHA Festive Collection by Anavila Is Truly Inspiring

Have you ever seen a flash of colour in the shape of bougainvillaea while driving through the arid streets of an Indian summer?

Those bursts of pink, orange, and white are a sight for sore eyes, exploding in a jubilant celebration of beauty in defiance of neglect. The festive 'Kagaj Baha' collection of linen sarees and separates by Anavila derives its name and inspiration from these exuberant blooms. This collection celebrates the simple things with hand-drawn designs and elaborate bougainvillaea prints on saris and dupattas in bright, joyful colours.

 

 

KAGAJ BAHA includes a range of linen sarees and pieces inspired by the Bougainvillea flower.

Anavila states,
"I have spent years studying the delicate khatwa (applique) work of Santhali artisans. I recall hearing youngsters laughing as they raced about the hamlet, enthralled by the blooming bougainvillaea, which they named Kagaj Baha. These recollections usually bring a smile to my face and remind me of life's simple joys. I wanted to imbue this celebratory collection with the same feeling of excitement and awe that the bougainvillaea brings to every space by filling it with dazzling imagery."

Here is a little-known fact about bougainvillaea. Its blossoms are hardly visible to the naked eye, but the intelligent plant converts portions of its leaves into colourful explosions to attract additional pollinating insects. This innocent plant of enchantment inspired Anavila's line of silk cord sets and garden shirts for a breezy, effortless holiday spirit. The Nova ensembles include linen, satin, and zari accents. In addition, the collection has linen sarees in solid festive hues, unique plaids, stripes, and metallic shine. They are worn with blouses that have zari and intricate hand embroidery.
