Shipra Bhatia Tewani Growing up with a mother with super fine taste, I vividly remember mum's white cotton block printed "dohars" she used in summer, the feel of pure pashmina in winters, the gemstones she carefully beaded together with pearls for her jewel pieces. My life was always surrounded by Paisleys, Pastels et al.” This learning was further reinforced when I went on to learn and practice design for 8 years. But I knew my calling was always in the pure chic pieces I grew up with! So there I was, formally learning how to do business while creating advertisements for living. Finally, I have taken the leap to manufacture and curate the best of pieces from all walks of life, bringing them to the world in the form of “Melange". |
Rita Mehta After completing my MBA, I joined the corporate bandwagon as expected. But, I was lucky to have a travelling job and thus got to explore our beautiful country. The variety of fabric and the myriad hues as I traveled across states always fascinated me. The spirit of each state and the representation of its culture weaved and printed on fabric made me appreciate the rich culture that I am a part of. I was always looking for more in life then a hectic corporate job and thus I recently joined an NGO as a teacher to underprivileged kids. This turn in life also came up with Melange Chic which is our attempt to share my country’s rich culture heritage through fabric that speaks for itself. |
