5 Wardrobe Essentials from Śākhe: 2021

By Anna Mariam Ittyerah


We all know how trendy and affordable fast fashion is. However, we tend to forget that it has a huge impact on the environment. One of the major reasons could be attributed to the fact that fast fashion isn't built to last. Like its name, it quickly goes out of style, these clothes get discarded and end up in huge landfills.


Hence, our brand attempts to be different every day. Our self-determined initiative was to upcycle and aim at sustainability by incorporating unloved ethnic fabrics in the form of western silhouettes. This can be your chance to try out sustainable fashion if you’re new here. Let’s take a look at the five must-haves designs from our collection for your wardrobe.


1. Heather: Halter Tops


One of the sexiest garments to own is a halter top, an attire that is held in position by a strap that goes behind your neck, revealing both the upper back and shoulders. Our Heather Halters were game changers, our popularity as a brand increased because of them. .

2. Lazy Summers: Sundresses


According to the rules of fashion, it is to own at least one pretty dress that can be worn outdoors during heatwaves. Be it for a picnic at Cubbon Park or a day out at the beach, Śākhe’s lazy summer dresses are a must-have. These arrivals are made from sourced Indian handcrafted fabrics, and don’t just look pretty; they also come with pockets!

3. Umang: Unisex Shirts


Who said that we only make apparel for girls? Our Umang collection consists of unisex shirts. The best part about owning this piece is that it's a great combination of two best things in the fashion world: Breezy cotton material and gorgeous unique textiles. Style this as an overshirt too!

4. Bangalore Daze: Bralettes


Bralettes, for those of y’all who are not aware of this term, fret not as we’ve got you covered. A bralette is basically a fusion of a bra and a crop top, and our collection has an array of this product. Śākhe has produced not just one but three sets of smokin’ hot bralettes! They are as follows: Bates Motel, Church Street, and The Misfits. They come in all sizes (XS-XL) and are made from sourced materials like ajrakh cotton, hakoba cotton, and kalamkari cotton.

5. Classics: Cocktail dresses


Also known as Śākhe Classics, these stunning gowns are not just inexpensive but also come in all sizes. The fabrics used here are soft synthetic rayon and are available in two beautiful colors, red and black. These gorgeous dresses should be in your wardrobe as a go-to in case you ever want to go out for a fancy dinner date or have to attend a wedding reception. They come in two themes i.e., The Rachel which is in the form of a halter neck, and The Monica which is a cowl neck.
