Hastkala by Archana Jaju - Nature-Inspired Handcrafted Masterpieces

Hastkala by Archana Jaju

Archana Jaju's soon-to-be-released SS'23 collection, 'Hastkala,' will undoubtedly inspire a return to nature!!

The current collection by Archana Jaju, 'Hastkala,' is inspired by nature and animals. It adheres to the brand's unique aesthetic of kalamkari patterns and handcrafted works of art, translating to "Hastkala."

Returning to Archana Jaju's source of inspiration, the forest, the new collection has animal themes like as giraffes, elephants, tortoises, and deer, as well as pine and palm trees and many types of birds. These animals represent direction, leadership, good fortune and prosperity, knowledge and wisdom, and authority.

Using natural colours and hand needlework, the collection's canvas consists of hand-woven lightweight silk organza and beautiful kanchi silk. The colour palette is comprised of the brand's most favoured earthy tones, ranging from mustard yellow to rose.

These zari cutwork and zardozi hand embroidery pieces are available in formal, delicate shapes, such as classic kurtas, sarees, and palazzos.
