    • Abhinetri
      When I was thinking about a new series, there were so many ideas that came to mind. At the same time , I was listening to all old Hindi and Bengali songs and I thought why not create something that would bring back memories of those days of beautiful cinema and evergreen music. But then I also wanted to make sarees that would remind us of our mothers and grandmothers, draped in crisp , paat paar cotton sarees in simple block prints during the pujo mornings. What we would call “pujor halka shaj”. Those cottons that would become extra soft, “nyata” is the word , over time and smell of turmeric and masala as moms would wipe their hands on the pallu while cooking or we would dry our hands after a sumptuous Sunday meal as mom cleared the table. This series then had to be named “Abhinetri”, inspired by yesteryear heroines and of course the heroine of our lives, Maa. We wish that this series finds a place of love in every wardrobe, hence this is the most budget friendly collection we have made so far. Make the most simple saree the most treasured one this Pujo.

Laal Paar Sada Saree : Evoking The Bengali Sentiment

There is no denying that every Bengali is in awe of the fascinating laal paar and sada saree. We have all been watching our mothers and grandmothers sporting them during the festivities like religious occasions, the oh-so mesmerizing sindoorkhela on Bijoya Dashami, or even during special events, such as weddings or the thread ceremony. If you are a fan of this inherent love of Bengalis, you can’t miss out our handloom cotton sarees online and what we have in store for you at Dora.

Have you ever wondered that the traditional Bengali laal paar sada saree is not merely an attire you flaunt every day or during special occasions? It is also about evoking those sentiments that have stayed amidst the competitiveness of experimenting with clothes. The traditional laal paar shada saree is much like a piece of Bengal encased in different quality fabrics. But if you want to buy laal paar sarees online, take a glimpse of our offerings. Wondering what makes this online boutique different than the rest? The major attraction is how we have maintained the classicism and the timelessness of these sarees and added a contemporary touch to them. Our sarees are such that you need not lock them up for each year’s sindoorkhela but flaunt them everywhere including the workplace. Are you curious enough to sneak into some of these collections? We procure handwoven sarees from the local artisans to make you feel at home regardless of which part of the world you are in.

Collections to Enthrall and Restore the Old Charm

Let me tell you a story before narrating the collections. A friend of mine staying in the US got mad when she found her wardrobe barren while looking for Bengali laal paar saree to participate in the Dashami celebrations of which the sindoorkhela was ‘the most’ special attraction. She somehow managed to get one from her friend and let the occasion pass with the enjoyment and hullabaloo. But the very next day, I got a call from her and before I could greet her with “SubhoBijoya” she urged me to send her a few from our collections. The red border and the white body are an embodiment of Bengal cotton sarees in Kolkata. I sent her a few and seeing them she was elated!

For the rest of you in Kolkata, are looking forward to some alternative pieces in this theme, here’s what you may add to your closet from our Hand Block Print Collection.

Saptapadi Bock Print Cotton Saree

Cat Walk – Cat Block Print on Dhonekhali

Let’s reinvent the saada saree laal paar in this year’s Durga Puja and dive into the world of quirky fun while taking your Bangaliana look to the next level. The playful cat prints present a canvas for creativity, although the feel is still rooted in our cultural traditions. The sporadic polka dots in red break the monotony of the white and when paired with a hakoba blouse, it will surely elevate the Pujo style to new heights.
