Niloufer

100 percent handwoven, This Mashru Benarasi is one of its kind. This saree, Niloufer is inspired by the royalty eho went by this name itself : the last princess of the Ottoman empire. Princess Niloufer was known for her rebellious and feminist life choices, of finding love, 11 years of separation from the Nawab of Hyderabad, after been abandoned by the latter. Niloufer however, was highly revered for her fashion choices too. Her silks and her strings of pearls were always the talk of the towns, be it in India or abroad. One of her iconic images remains that of the princess donning a royal blue silk with golden stripes on it! Inspired from the same, our saree Niloufer is an ode to her royalty! While the dreamy powder blue is as if a bit of heaven woven as a saree, the golden benarasi buta and leheriya work on it, not only gives the saree the optimum regalia, but also becomes a contemporary rendition of the royalty, who was the inspiration for this piece. Be it a morning occasion or an evening gala, Niloufer is a glorious and unique choice from Mitan Ghosh designs.
