She is a very friendly, unpretentious and easy-going person and am sure has lots of friends and well-wishers. But I am mentioning her here because she is an immensely talented designer-- working both with textile and a silver jewellery. I have been meeting
Mahua Sarkar Sen at Mumbai's Coomarswamy Hall every year during the Pause for a Cause Exhibition. Connoisseurs flock to her stall for the handwoven traditional sarees in natural materials and ethnic silver baubles. She designs the sarees herself and scouts the different parts of the country, especially Gujarat and Uttaranchal, to collect her silver jewellery. These, at times, she remodifies with beads and tassels to make them more contemporary and stylish. The blouse pieces, dupattas, and borders that she sells are also unique. And yes, she is my namesake...
So, if you fancy traditional sarees and chunky silver jewellery, keep an eye for
Mahua's next exhibitions
here.
Do not miss the interesting blouse pieces that she sells separately.
Her tagline is : Anti-Fashion, Pro-Style.
Here is a glimpse of
Mahua's exquisite tribal jewellery collection:
