Dress Up Or Down with Designer Kurtas

Is it that time of year to give your weary wardrobe a makeover? Toss designer kurtas into your closet!

The traditional kurta is made up of rectangular fabrics with some gusset inserts. Cut in such a way that leaves no fabric wasted, it has sleeves that are decorated and hemmed and fall straight to the wrists. Contemporary kurtas provide a fresh take on this theme through a glut of design variations. Traditional kurtas do not have collars; designer kurtas do. Traditional kurtas are made from cotton or khadi silk; designer kurtas are manufactured using just about anything from natural wool to synthetic polyesters.

Clearly, what traditional kurtas can do, designer kurtas can do better. What’s more, choice is one thing you will never run out of where designer kurtas are concerned. Beat the summer heat in cotton designer kurtas or bundle up for winter in thicker fabrics. Think Kashmiri designer kurtas or the Khadi silk - a local handwoven, handspun silk that is thick and coarse and can be mixed with other fibers. If, on the other hand, it’s dressier designer kurtas you need, you can easily have one made. In fact, not only can you have one made to measure, you get your pick of fabrics, too. From chiffon in the classic summery hues of yellow, pearl pink, and orange to sheer crepes and georgettes in dramatic mauves, blues, and purples, there’s a designer kurta that’s just right for you.

Want your own kurta? There’s no need to fly all the way to India! You can snag yourself a designer kurta just about anywhere - from that tiny roadside stall you pass by on your way to work, for example, or a special section in the mall, or even online. The best part? These stunning designer kurtas come embellished with exquisite bandhani work, sequins, and embroidery.

Yes, if it’s time to revitalize your wardrobe, let designer kurtas do the work.
