Weddings and Marigold Studio presents Taatini showcasing for the first time in Chennai their latest exclusive collection, ‘The Mithinga Collection’ by designers Preeti Bhutani and Moumi Moola.
‘Taatini’ works with the Bodo, Mising, and Rabha tribes of Assam; Kasuti artists from Hubli and weavers from a village near Varanasi. Taatini has created a range of natural dyes from a long list of natural sources, onion skin, jackfruit bark, turmeric, pomegranate and, of course, indigo. Taatini also uses azo-free dyes for some of their mulberry silk sarees. The carbon footprint of the yarns used in a Taatini garment is minimal. The yarn is both sustainable and organic.
The founders of Taatini, sisters, Preeti Bhutani and Moumi Moola, have spent four years exploring weaving hubs as far apart as Hubli and Lakhimpur, Guwahati and Benares. They thoroughly researched and understood silk, so that the yarn in a Taatini is unique and irreplaceable. Just as women are proud to claim that they own a ‘Banaras’ or a ‘Paithani’ you can be proud to own a ‘Taatini.’
When: 29th and 30th of November 2019 | 10.30 am to 7 pm
Where: Weddings and Studio, Manorama, 18/12, Lakshmanan Street, T. Nagar, Chennai.
