Yesterday I had the privilege to spend time at the their high end store on the upmarket Lavelle Road and with pleasure I’d like to share more about their latest collection ANTARMAHAL, which has been created with the aim of creating luxurious spaces for modern day royalty.

The Antarmahal collection is an ode, a poetry – a befitting tribute to the opulence and grandeur of a bygone era. Antarmahal means ‘inner chambers of the palace’, and draws inspiration from a spirited, glamorous, royal Maharani whose sensuality and identity and sophistication can be catered to by equally luxurious fabrics, adding to the glory and charm of a royal lifestyle.

Antarmahal lionises the royalty of a lady by contributing to her inner discovery when she is in her space – a luxury that is priceless!

From concept to creation, Antarmahal started with the vision of what our customers are looking for, and how we can best help them create the spaces that will complement their lifestyles,
explains Akanksha Himatsingka, Managing director, Atmosphere.

The collection has a wide variety of textiles like opulent velvets, gossamer fine sheers, upholsteries with zari woven into the fabric, spelling elegant regality and luxury. The fabrics have been created taking references from Indian royalty and study of dyeing techniques used in the times of kings and queens. Mood boards with Indian hues like Aam, Basanti, Dhani, Kesar amongst others were created to set the mood for rolling out a collection as royal as this.

Atmosphere has recently launched its new website and offers an interesting service for “Home Styling.” Prior appointments must be scheduled and are available online for a minimal fee. The in house stylists help you style your interiors and give a make-over to your home by creating an Atmosphere that is truly unique.

On returning home, I laid out the bed-linen, the bed spread and pillow cases in my bedroom and enjoyed the experience the brand boasts about. The touch and feel of the products were just as promised, a befitting presence in the most personal of spaces – one’s bedroom. The soothing light hues help you unwind as you enter your cocoon after a hard day’s work. The perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality reflect your personality, your abode highlighted by the Atmosphere identity,

Make your spaces unique and luxurious with a versatile selection of fabrics at Atmosphere, from baroque velvets to contemporary sheers, from soft cottons to rich silks, designed to awaken the senses, both visual and tactile.

Awaken your senses as I did.

The Nine Yards Romance

Come September  and our ‘shopping needs ‘ seem to take a detour .In India this marks the beginning of festivities to come. Some of us welcome Ganesha home, while others begin the preparation for Dussehra and Diwali. With just a nip in the air and an occasional  cracker ,I have no perfect words to describe this  but  to call it the ‘Dilliwali Feel’.

I have a cascade of memories associated with this season -of house cleaning, wafting aromas  from the kitchen, to family rendezvous’.

Amongst all this one thing is a constant  ,the ever present need for the sari. Over the years, I have come to realize that each women is indeed unique, beautiful in her own delicate way . While some of us stand elegant in a traditional sari others enjoy the drama  to the  hilt.

Banarasi sari. A Banarasi sari is a sari made in Varanasi, a city which is also called Benares or Banaras. The sarees are among the finest sarees in India and are known for their gold and silver brocade or zari, fine silk and opulent embroidery. The gentle  femininity  of this sari is beyond compare.

The Net or lace sari -For the more modern of heart ,the net sari beckons. There is something about the romance of this sari that charms our heart. If you have your heart set on one, Arab street in Singapore is the best place to indulge. Designers from all over the world sell sarees here. The array of fabrics ,be it vintage lace , fine net or chandelle lace  all enthrall the heart. In Bangalore ‘Mysore Silk Udyog’ commercial street is  a great  place  to make a pick.

So ladies enjoy shopping -wish you all a safe and fun filled and joyous season
