Sari style
A brand new style stop for the ladies of north Calcutta opened its doors on Saturday afternoon. Senses Sarees, the store at P-50, C.I.T Road in Kankurgachhi, was inaugurated by small-screen actress Surveen Chawla (Kasak of Kasautii Zindagii Kay fame), looking pretty in a pale pink salwar suit.
"With the opening of this showroom, women in this part of the city do not have to trek all the way to Park Street for sari purchases. We offer the latest designs and the prices are very competitive," claims proprietor Mukesh Goyal.
The store houses a wide variety of georgettes, crepes, chiffons and printed drapes. Apart from intricate detailing with sequins, mirror and threadwork, there are saris with floral embellishments in coloured leather.
The show-stealers are the butterfly-cut saris with thin pallu and the ghagra choli saris with heavy work on the pleats, resembling the fall of a ghagra. Then you have drapes where the aanchal is put across your shoulders, giving an interesting V-shaped neckline.
Prices start at Rs 1,500 and go up to Rs 40,000.
