Going the Extra Mile for Kids Fashion: A Look at Ke and Kaa

I still remember the day I came to know that I was expecting. It was such a wonderful feeling, I just couldn’t believe till I first heard his heartbeat. This is the feeling that can’t be explained in words. Pregnancy brings in a lot of changes, not only physical but even emotionally. The feeling of carrying a little life inside you is just amazing. Visits to the hospital for regular checkups were both exciting and scary at the same time. Excitement to hear the heartbeat of my tiny tot and fear whether the baby is growing perfectly or not. Time flew and I was 39 weeks 6 days when I saw my handsome little boy for the first time and I fell in love with him even more. The pain that I went through every minute was worth it after I saw my boy, I had forgotten about every single contractions that I went through for 12 hours and had tears of happiness in my eyes. Suddenly I felt complete and my whole world was centred around a tiny human being whom I valued more than anything in the whole wide world. 

Motherhood began for me the day I conceived my little one. I was really scared of managing things as everything was so new for me right from thinking what to feed him, how to massage him, bath him and most importantly what kind of cloth should I make him wear. I have faced a lot of issues when it came to his clothing, couldn’t find something that would keep his skin safe in terms of irritation, rashes, allergies. It’s not that there are no organic clothes in the market for kids, but it wasn’t fitting in my budget and that’s what left me in dilemma as to how can we solve this problem because not everyone can afford such expensive clothes specially for kids in their growing age.

This thought and worry led me to  start Ke and Kaa because I wanted to create what I couldn’t find for my son at the time by selecting the right fabric which is soft, comfy, affordable, harmless to the environment and sustainable. We are also ensuring that the patterns of the clothes are made in such a way that it becomes easy to wear for the parents and well as the kids, the designs are timeless cute in simple styles and gender – neutral colours.

In order to achieve what I really wanted, I thought of coming up with Bamboo Cottton fabric and used chemical free dyes which are extremely harmless to the kids skin. Along with this I also wanted to create designs that would have some story behind it, I was always in search of animal prints which I hardly found, and so I decided to launch Ke and Kaa with designs that will animal prints. Colours play a very important role in our lives, it helps to calm us down to uplift ourselves and I have ensured to use colors very carefully.

Our mission is to create clothes that have a long life and can withstand frequent washes, ensuring that parents get their money’s worth.

Conclusion: A carefree girl became a responsible mother.

Resplendent Weaves: The Captivating Story of RADYNEE’s Handloom Sarees

A woman in a saree wraps herself in more than 6 or 9 yards of fabric. She actually wraps herself in poetry composed of the softest fabrics, embellished with the gentle whispers of delicate design or at times bold splashes of eloquent colors.

At RADYNEE founded by Chinmaya Rairikar who herself is a dynamic and passionate saree connoisseur, you will discover how much more there truly is to a saree. Operating from her own bungalow space in a quaint lane of Pune, that threw open its doors in 2015, Chinmaya and in turn, RADYNEE have become trusted fashion confidants for women across the country.

Sarees from the house of RADNYEE – a confluence of rich tradition and truly timeless fashion

The fascination with handloom fabrics and sarees, previously confined to personal use, ignited the idea of customizing her own products and making them accessible to end users. She invested a lot of time studying the market, the fabrics, and creating a business model, before taking the plunge.

This investment paid off handsomely. RADYNEE is today a serene space filled with yards and yards of breathtaking beauty and classic simplicity, all handcrafted by master weavers from every corner of India.

From Opulent Bridal Sarees to the Cool Handloom Khadi Cotton Sarees and also a graceful range that expresses tribal art and design in all its rare beauty. You will find your hands automatically straying to caress the Pure Silk Handloom Paithanis, Dupion Dolabedi Silk Sarees, Ikat Sarees, Handcrafted Soft Khadi Cotton Dhaniakhali Sarees, Bagru Handblock Printed Chanderi Cotton Sarees, Pure Silk Valkalam Sarees, Pure Tussar Kantha Sarees and Ghicha Ketia Sarees, Katan Silk Sarees and more. The hand-embroidered Lambani Stoles, Handwoven Tussar Ghicha Bhujodi Stoles, and Pahadi Stoles are all part of a most admired ensemble.

“Working in close collaboration, we directly customize the sarees from our weavers and artisans. We brand their creation with our label and also offer our branded online platform to facilitate sales and revenue for them.” Shared Chinmaya.

Every single handloom product from RADNYEE is special and unique and its customers vouch for it when they say,” The quality and fabric is as good as promised. Most importantly they are unique, as we women never want to wear a saree similar to another woman.”

Progress draped in rich elegance and a vibrant partnership of trust and mutual growth

RADYNEE has been in the business for more than 8 years now, during which it has nurtured a beautiful and intrinsic relationship with over 5000 customers. Knowing instinctively what will be the seasonal and festive trends, the color palette, and how the woman of today desires to express herself, the enterprise has risen up the choice chart of its valued clientele. 

The offline B2C model was well established over the years. It was during the pandemic that the brand smartly migrated to the online business model. This ensured that the reach multiplied, pushing sales and revenue to an upward curve.  RADYNEE today leverages popular social media marketing tools to build connections and market its range of sarees through WhatsApp, Instagram, and its popular Facebook page.

Riding in tandem with this growth story is another beautiful facet of the brand – the humane side. RADYNEE by collaborating with scores of talented weavers across the country works towards uplifting their life, ensuring a market for them, plus the preservation of traditional skills and art.

Discover the mystical and captivating art of ancient Parsi Gara, Zardozi and Bead Work With JOPHIEL.

Heritage handicrafts possess that intrinsic beauty, which has helped them thrive through the ages. But in today’s times of fast fashion, these arts and the craftsmen, both are experiencing a struggle for relevance and survival.

In such challenging circumstances, entrepreneurs like Firoza Shroff and Kainaz Tarapore the dynamic sister duo who have founded JOPHIEL, shine out like a bright ray of hope.

JOPHIEL the Archangel is the patron of arts and crafts, and it is such an apt name for this enterprise that proudly wears the mantle of preserving and sustaining the legacy of ancient embroidery art forms of Parsi Gara, Zardozi and Bead work.

Today JOPHIEL is a space where the intricate work of the master embroiderer, intersects with modern fashion sensibilities on sarees, stoles, jackets, handbags, clutches, potlis, batwas, slings, pouches and more.

Garments and Accessories embossed with the class of centuries old art forms and rich influences from Persian, Chinese and Indian cultures…  

Parsi embroidery is an artistic creation that has emerged from a matchless confluence of design cultures flowing down from India, China and Persia. Parsi Gara is known to be an embroidery art with nature as its soul.  What you see on a saree, a stole or even a clutch, is a breathtaking single thread embroidery with silk, cotton, or gold threads, translating into nature’s vivid creations, like trees, leaves, birds, flowers, animals, human’s forms and mythology too. Zardozi and Bead work seek to embellish garments and objects with edgy opulence and royal sophistication.

Nothing can beat the eloquence of the Gara which means a Saree; created in Chiffon, Crepe, Silk, Georgette or Jacquard. The rich fabrics carry hand embroidered stories represented in Ambi motifs, Forests, Florals, Birds of Paradise, Peacocks, Trellis Patterns and other keynotes. So grand, so stylishly elegant that they are coveted heirlooms. The Stoles in solid cool and earthy colors echo the same vintage class in styling and finishing.

The totes, clutches, handbags, potlis and other accessories too are standouts, in terms of colors, embroidered themes and design.

JOPHIEL is actually the consequence of Firoza and Kainaz growing up in a household surrounded by beautiful antiques. The fact that their grandmother had an exquisite collection of Gara Sarees, Kors, Jhabhlas and Ijars further stirred their interest and they both quit their corporate jobs to start this enterprise.

The enterprise was also blessed by a lady, a master of Gara and Bead work, who generously shared all the knowledge of her craft with both of them.

Giving back to traditional artists and being a medium to preserve soulful heritage art…

For both Firoza and Kainaz, creating heritage artisanal pieces is a great responsibility that demands rising above mere commercialization, and bringing to the business a vision that will stand the test of time.

“JOPHIEL intends to take the talented artisans, who are the true custodians of the timeless art of GARA and ZARDOZI, together with it on its journey ahead. We want to celebrate these artisans enrich their lives and create fantastic experiences for every client,” says Firoza.

The brand is today enchanting a growing circle of customers and the portfolio too is constantly sought to be upgraded, to keep every online engagement fresh and stimulating for visitors.

“Over a span of time we intend to invest in creating exclusive brand experience spaces in high street retail zones, where clients can walk in and indulge in a “first-hand look and feel.” Shared Kainaz.

Another compassionate facet of the brand is that JOPHIEL remains whole heartedly committed to support Cuddles Foundation – the only NGO in India providing holistic nutritional support to underprivileged kids fighting cancer.

Rangrez Ethnic- Threaded With Magnificent Royal Style

“Embroidery is a timeless craft that transcends generations and languages. It’s an opportunity to tell a story, pass on a memory, or celebrate a milestone in your life.”- Anonymous

Age Old Chikankari Work Gains Appeal For Its Regal Look

Indian culture has cast a spell on countries across oceans since time immemorial. Indian Ethnic wear has attracted many tourists and also has a sizeable chunk of market share in foreign markets. Talking about ethnic wear, the most popular thing that occupies the mind is the handwork of “Chikankari”.  Chikan work with its gossamer quality has become one of Indian fashion’s hottest exports and is an expression of haute couture. When the sun smiles strongly, you know it is the time to celebrate cool muslins and soft mulls. Traditional yet contoured in a modish contemporary twist, the ageless chikankari, comes to your cool rescue. It is an innovative and age-old artisan craft that involves intricate threadwork over a washable print. Every single thread is sewed in with care and passion to signify the virtue of this unparalleled handcraft. As times have changed embellishments like stones, sequins, zardozi, mukaish, embellishments, mirror works and other Moti works were added to it to create a unique appeal. The work is no longer limited to Indian wear and is also found on skirts, and tops to suit the foreign markets better.

Bringing such elegance and opulence to your wardrobe is an ethnic fashion label “Rangrez Ethnic” which offers handmade chikankari worked kurtis, sets, bottoms and sarees in a variety of patterns and mesmerizing colours. Started in January 2022  by two friends Palak Singh and Radhika Mishra, the brand aims to bring all Indian handicrafts under one umbrella so that the beauty of this art form can become affordable to as many households as possible This in turn would benefit the artisans who toil hard to deliver the beautifully Chikankari outfits.

Carrying Forward The Lucknowi Chikankari Parampara

Hailing from Lucknow, the city of Nawabs, and having a family business in Chikankari clothing, Radhika and her childhood friend Palak conceptualized the whole functioning of their brand in January 2022. Prior to this clothing business, Radhika, a B. Tech from Manipal University, worked as a software developer in an IT firm for about 4 years. Her ingenuity in cloth designing was not only bestowed because of her family business but also because of her passion to bring different handicrafts and artworks under one roof that represents their Lucknowi culture. Joining hands with her co-partner Palak, she mustered all efforts to quit her regular job and with an initial investment of 50k she bought the fabrics and started with her Instagram page. With small investments in marketing through social influencers, they gradually started experimenting with the ranger collections and grew bigger in business with the launch of their website.

The Growth Prospects Ahead 

The brand aims to connect all age groups to Indian handicrafts by offering not only traditional ethnic kurtas but also a variety of designer handwoven tops that the youth can relate to. Offering splendorous chikankari work in rayon, muslin, georgette, crepe and cotton, they soon envision launching a collection in handblock Kalamkari and handblock Sanganeri. A few years down the line, the brand that is presently operational in the online space wants to get recognized as a leading name in the handwoven business and commence its physical store to connect to a wider customer base.

The Artistic Odyssey: Embark on a Profound Journey of Paintings and Creative Enlightenment with Mitartss

When everything around seems all dark and complex, the artists of the world come to our rescue. They infuse beauty and joy into our lives, giving us a reason to celebrate our little victories and tide over our small defeats. If anything gives us hope amidst hopelessness and ecstasy amidst uncertainty, it has got to be the art and the artists.

Launched in November 2018, Mitartss is an online art portal, nurtured by talented artist Vaishali Mittal. Besides creating a lasting impact with her work, the young artist wants to bring back the era when paintings would be more than just home-decor items. They would engage your mind and draw out deep-seated emotions, thus making you feel something unique.

For Vaishali, painting is a medium of expressing her thoughts and building unspoken connections with fellow humans. With her powerfully evocative paintings, Vaishali wants to break barriers and reach out to people living in different parts of the world.

When painting becomes a life-long passion

Even though painting had been her passion since childhood, it took her a while to respond to that inner calling. Vaishali pursued a degree in engineering and became a software engineer. But working in MNCs didn’t give her the happiness that she was looking for. Gradually, she embraced her inner artist and decided to take this up as a career.

It was more of an emotional decision than a practical one. The gutsy girl adds “I started feeling that it was really important in today’s world to express your feelings and to understand the other person’s emotions too. And art gave me an opportunity to do just that.” Soon, she established her own startup Mitartss. This venture is a humble attempt to help people look up from their smartphones and dedicate their time and attention to the appreciation of art and everything that it makes you feel.

Vaishali also conducts online painting classes, which she started during the pandemic. For those passionate about painting, these online tutorials are an apt opportunity to learn from an artist who not only has mastered the skill but also understands the humane aspect of art.

Mitartss: Where art comes alive

Mitartss is an art hub that offers different kind of paintings, handmade portraits in various media for home décor and office spaces. Vaishali paints in mix media such as acrylic, oil, dry pastels, charcoal and many more. Here one can also get customized handmade phone covers, logos, handbags and T-shirts – all products rendered exceptionally beautiful owing to Vaishali’s breathtaking artistic talent. Moreover, if you want to surprise your loved ones with their sketches or colored portraits, Mitartss is the place to be.

What makes Mitartss special is its unwavering focus on expressing emotions through paintings. Even the hyper-realistic paintings strike a chord with customers, who most often feel a lot more than what they had expected. Mitartss creates a fine balance between emotions and realism, coming up with paintings that stay with us forever. 

Drawing out plans for future

Mitartss has come a long way since the time of its inception. Batting all odds, Vaishali’s maiden venture has been winning hearts on social media. When asked about the future, the founder says “I want Mitartss to be recognized as a notable, trustworthy brand that would become a favorite of artists and art connoisseurs.”

How Cosmetic Surgeons Merge Artistry and Medical Expertise

As a board-certified plastic surgeon with 15 years of experience, I have witnessed the transformative power of cosmetic surgery. I truly believe that it is a field where artistry and medical expertise seamlessly merge to create beautiful, natural-looking results while transforming lives. Like an artist with a canvas, each precise incision a surgeon makes is a stroke of the brush, revealing a renewed version of the patient.

I can confidently say that cosmetic surgeons don’t just perform procedures; we sculpt the bodies, etch the curves and infuse renewed confidence in our patients. 

Because cosmetic surgeries are always about looking better and not different!

Now, let me take you through this symphony of science and artistry, where masterpieces of enhanced beauty are created, and each one is as unique as our unique patients. 

My Artistic Approach to Cosmetic Surgery

As a cosmetic surgeon, I personally feel that my medical knowledge definitely forms the bedrock of my practice; however, it’s my artistic skill, refined over years of experience, that truly distinguishes and defines each patient’s outcome that I have treated. My goal goes beyond merely addressing shape and size concerns. I strive to achieve balanced, aesthetically pleasing results that enhance the overall appearance of my patients, creating a visual harmony that resonates with their overall personalities.

So how is artistry instrumental during each step of cosmetic surgery?

Artistry in Various Surgical Procedures

Now let’s just see how artistry and medical expertise are combined during the actual procedures themselves and how each procedure is a testament to this harmonious blend.

For instance, in breast augmentation, the procedure goes beyond the mere placement of implants. We incorporate techniques like fat grafting to design the cleavage and create natural creases and folds to enhance the natural appeal and curvature of the breast.

Similarly, a breast lift is not just about elevation. It’s about crafting an aesthetically pleasing bosom by designing the cleavage to create a shapely, appealing form. Only a surgeon with artistic vision can achieve that.

In rhinoplasty, we don’t just alter the nose; we sculpt it. We aim to achieve a natural shape and structure that blends seamlessly with the face, ensuring the enhancements are subtle, complementing the face and not overly prominent.

Coming to a tummy tuck, with artistry blended in, is much more than just flattening the abdomen and concealing scars. I always perform a hi-definition procedure, similar to creating a sketch with precise strokes and creating a natural silhouette. I achieve this by crafting the highs and lows by sculpting the skin and tissue and designing the navel to add a feminine and delicate appeal.

All these nuances involve a deep understanding of human anatomy, meticulous planning, and the ability to envision the final outcome.

This ability to sculpt the tissues with finesse allows for personalised and exceptional results, showcasing the power of the right blend of cosmetic surgeries and artistry.

The Role of Artistry in Reconstructive Surgery

You know, it’s fascinating how artistry plays a crucial role in cosmetic surgery, not just for aesthetic procedures but also for reconstructive purposes and scar revision. It’s not just about fixing something; it’s about restoring both form and function while minimising the visible impact of past trauma or surgery. It requires a surgeon with a keen artistic touch.

Let’s take microtia reconstructive surgery as an example. Microtia is when a person is born with a partially or completely undeveloped ear. In this case, a skilled surgeon needs to approach each delicate skin tissue with precision. We have to use our artistic vision to craft an ear that seamlessly blends with the patient’s natural features. It’s not just about creating an ear; it’s about creating an ear that looks and feels as close to natural as possible, enhancing the person’s appearance and restoring their confidence.

The same is the case with scar revision surgery. Imagine a patient who has a prominent scar on their face due to a previous injury or surgery. Scar revision aims to minimise the appearance of the scar and improve its overall aesthetics. In this case, the surgeon’s artistic vision becomes crucial in achieving optimal results. We use our artistic eye to make decisions regarding the placement of incisions, the direction of tissue realignment, and the meticulous suturing techniques to create a less noticeable scar that aligns naturally with the patient’s facial features. 

These surgical techniques include following the natural contours or hiding the scars within natural skin creases. To achieve this, I personally consider factors such as skin texture, light reflection, and the patient’s individual aesthetic goals to ensure the scar blends seamlessly with the surrounding skin, becoming less prominent and drawing less attention.

Such thoughtful practices produce results that go beyond mere functionality and have a profound impact on the patient’s emotional and physical well-being.

Parting Thoughts

In today’s world, being a cosmetic surgeon requires more than just medical proficiency. It demands an artistic sensibility that can bring a smile to a patient’s face and a sense of deep satisfaction in their hearts. It’s this unique blend of art and science that I bring to my practice every day.

It is time to embrace the miraculous blend of science and art – the life-altering practices we witness in cosmetic and aesthetic surgeries.
