Revamp your wardrobe this New Year!

There’s something about the the New Year or a change in season that makes everyone want a dramatic change in their wardrobe and looks. But you don’t have to make any big changes to reinvent your style. Smaller changes and a little knowledge about the upcoming trends can add up to a big impact.

Here are few upcoming trends in colour, fabric and prints to watch out for this year. They’re quick and inexpensive.

Colour:
Understated vivid hues, pastels shades and nature-inspired neutral shades are going to rule this season. From classic blue, browns, tangerine to aquamarine the color trends will have lots of variety.
Tinted Pastels: Color palette is going to be dominated by tinted pastels.

Silks : Besides soft fabrics, this traditional fabric is going to rule the fabric charts in Spring/Summer 2015. We can witness many designers opting for silks in their designer collection this year.
Sheer: From chiffon saris to net lehengas the sheer fabric which once ruled the fashion world is back. Multiple layers of mixing and matching sheer fabric like net and lace is the new trend.

Floral prints never go out of fashion! Blooming prints, fine and delicate motifs, floral appliqué work and flower inspired designs never fail to impress the Indian fashion conscious women.

Jewelry & Accessories
Accessories this upcoming year is all about minimalism, saying that one can’t ignore the bling of jewelry. While last year nose rings ruled the jewelry trend, this year make way for stunning waist belts, ear cuffs and quirky headgears that elevate the style factor.

Mysore Silk Sarees from Pothys

A silk saree is a sense of pride for any Indian women for its exquisite design and luxurious lustre. Among the various types of silk sarees in India, ‘Mysore silk’ is known for its minimalistic design, vibrant colours and the rich feel of the fabric. This hand spun traditional silk is one of the purest forms of silk in India with the usage of pure silk and 100% pure gold zari (a golden coloured thread containing 65% of silver and 0.65% of gold).

Mysore silk is the trademark for the silks manufactured by Karnataka Silk Industry Corporation (KSIC). The making of these exquisite silks can be dated back to 1912 when the maharaja of Mysore imported 32 looms from Switzerland to manufacture silks just to meet the requirements of the royal family and the ornamental fabrics of his armed forces. However, the organised production started only in 1980, after the factory was handed over to Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation which is commonly known as KSIC. At present,the Mysore silk factory produces more than 35,000 metres of pure silk fabric per month and nearly 4,25,000 meters per year, which are made into beautiful sarees and dress materials.

These Mysore silk sarees are going through many changes and makeovers by adding new styles with a range of colours to make the already popular silk form even more attractive and tempting. There are around 300 wide varieties of colours used in making these sarees with almost 115 vivid design combinations. The beauty of these sarees lies in the intricate work of the ‘Zari’, which is the golden lace border running throughout the edges of the saree.

Now-a-days, some of the Indian traditional designs like Bhandhini and kasturi embroidery are infused into the making of Mysore silk sarees to cater to a wider audience from different regions. To preserve the authenticity of these silk sarees KSIC has introduced ‘Fusion Label’ which is a Nano-technology hot press which has made counterfeiting impossible. This revolutionary initiative is on the lines by the similar decision taken Silk Mark Organisation of India of the Union ministry of textiles.

If you want to own these aristocratic silk sarees which has adorned the kings and queens of Mysore for decades, you don’t have to travel to Mysore. Pothys have stocked up the best of these silk sarees in wider colour combinations to suit your taste and preferences. Pay a visit to our showroom or our website if you wish to witness the elegance and beauty of this magical fabric .

Paisley- Timeless Elegance

The paisley motif resembling a twisty teardrop is of Indian and Iranian origin. Its western name derives from a small town called Paisley, in West Scotland, a centre for textiles where paisley designs were made.

The mango motif which is generally called the "ambi" (amb means mango in Punjab), "kairi" (mango seed) or "manga" in India, "boteh jegheh" or "butain" in Persia and "paisley" in Britain, is one of the most enduring symbols in the design world, its origins dating back to the 18th century or earlier.

The paisley motif represents life and eternity for some, a symbol of rebellion for others. The traditional motifs always symbolises something and there is a reason behind it. Indians have used the paisley designs in rangolis as they are considered auspicious. Where as in China, two paisley is fitted to form a yin-yang depicting a symbol of life’s many dualities and their interconnectedness to each other.

Paisley designs are one of the most sought after patterns in South India. It is prominently used in our kanjeevaram sarees as they depict fertility and abundance. It is one of the widely used designs by the Indian designers and they have worked with the paisley motif at some point in their career, while some have spent their lifetime exploring its form.

There are many ways in which the mango motifs are incorporated in ethnic and indo-western wear. It can be a plain old simple plump silhouette, or frilled on the sides, or the elaborate multi-colour shape adorned with flowers and leaves. In whatever form they are incorporated in, paisleys never fail to evoke a sense of elegance, grace and lush beauty whether on a piece of fabric or jewellery. These mango motifs are steeped in Indian tradition. So, when you spot a paisley design the next time, remember the timelessness of its elegance and the historic stories embedded in its simple yet enigmatically curvy form.

Though the trends and styles have changed over time, we still draw inspiration from these traditional and classic designs of Indian origin and make necessary changes to them to suit the taste of our newer generation. Stock up your wardrobe with these ethnic outfits with classical mango motifs which are always in vogue!

On this day, Muslims from across the world gather for prayer celebration, for a three day celebration where families and friends get together, rejoice and share their Ramadan experience. It is a fun and significant occasion; one that people will remember until the next time Ramadan comes around.

Special prayer services are held on this day in large congregation halls or in open fields. Muslims from all walks of life attend the prayers dressed in new clothes, wearing their favourite fragrance. Afterwards, when people gather at home with friends and family, they send gifts to each other such as sweets, cash and garments.

Divine Shades of Gold- from Pothys

In India, Gold is adored, loved and worshipped!

India's love affair with gold is eternal, across centuries and millennia. It is much more to us than just a precious metal. - It is part of our culture and our belief system.

In Hindu folklore, some of our goddesses are described as golden-hued, the definitive in beauty. Gold, as the source of purity and splendour, is referred to as the seed of Agni, the God of Fire. Manu the ancient law-giver decreed that golden ornaments must be worn for particular ceremonies and occasions.

It is thus considered a sacred item in the Hindu way of life and is a necessity in every holy function, the reason being that Gold is pure having passed through fire in its process of evolution. Indians perceive the metal as a representation of purity, prosperity and good fortune. Hopeful and positive, Gold adds a luminosity and warmth to everything with which it is associated.

It is thus not surprising at all that gold has become an integral part of modern day events and functions. Given its versatility, it can be used in different designs, paired with different colours and accessories. Just a hint of Gold can enhance one’s look immediately. Pothys has many a design in the different shades of this divine colour.

This traditional maroon and gold silk saree with intricately woven pallu will make you praiseworthy! Add a glamour factor to any festive occasion, in this art silk saree with a dash of purple.

For both a grand yet stylish look, this half and half silk saree with rich zari pallu is a perfect choice. The leaf motif all over the body and stone works on the pallu add beauty to the brilliant hue of gold.
