Sita Anarkali Set

A bold and charismatic royal and a doyenne in her own right, Maharani Sita Devi of Baroda, was a legendary queen who had a prominent presence at the Waldorf Astoria of New York and The Dorchester of London. Known for her love of priceless jewellery, she was a popular patron for renowned names like Harry Winston, Cartier, and Van Cleef & Arpels.

Editors Note: While Indian history has been studded with brave patriarchal tales of warriors and kings, the beauty and intellect of its queens has not quite received its due. Shattering the stereotypes, the modern queens of India have been a beacon for the women of today. Sophisticated, beautiful, and well-travelled, they have redefined the tales of royalty for generations to come. This collection gracefully captures the essence of a modern queen and an apt canvas to do this is the famed Benares brocade. The opulence of Indian brocades has fascinated the world for centuries, so much that at one time they were considered only fit for royalty. Reminiscing the rich and unparalleled legacy of this fabric, this collection is an effort to enliven days of the royal past interspersed with the charm of these fabulously ethereal and strong women, reimagining these looks for the woman of today. Each piece in this collection carries opulent hand embroideries decorating choicest rich handwoven silk brocades.
