Treading Brows

Eyes are said to be the windows to one's soul, and the old adage holds more truth than it gets credit for. Eyes express a lot about a person's state of mind; sometimes saying it all when the tongue fails. And critical to the eyes, often overlooked, but vital in every sense, are the eyebrows. Just as one's hair frames the face, adding character to the overall personality, eyebrows frame the eyes and complete their story.

Tempt with Taant this Eid!

It is a fact universally known that Bengali women love their saris. We adore saris of all kinds- silk, chiffon, georgette, cotton —name it, and we want it! And this love knows no discrimination. In the closet of every self-respecting fashionista hangs a wide variety of saris in various colours, textures and designs. Wispy laces share space with heavy Katans, and embellished, crystal-studded net saris jostle for room with simple cotton Kota and Jamdanis.
