There are colours that lift the mood the moment you put them on. Basanta is one of them.

Woven in sunshine yellow and white, this dress carries the warmth of a spring morning — open, bright, and impossible to ignore. The large Ikat motifs — resist-dyed before the yarn ever meets the loom — sweep across the fabric in flowing, organic forms, with small flashes of orange-red that catch the light. At the deep V-neckline, fine Kantha stitches run in black thread, a graphic detail that gives this joyful dress a quiet, handmade edge.

The silhouette is wide and freeing — a sleeveless A-line with a generous flare that moves beautifully with every step. Light enough to wear all day, vivid enough to make any room warmer.

Wear it to a Puja morning, a spring gathering, a summer lunch — or any day that calls for a little sunshine.
