Kessa Wear

Kessa Wear

Kessa Wear is an online store that specialises in Indian fabric outfits. The first thing that caught our eye is their Sky Blue Linen Kurta Pant Set and Striped South Cotton Blouse & Palazzo Set. Perfect for summers, these outfits mostly come in light or candy colours. If you are looking for something slightly elaborate, do check their Complete Suit Sets featuring hand block prints, gota work, etc. If you are someone who loves easy-breezy Indian wear, this brand is for you. Their Kurta-Dupatta, Kurta-Pant Sets are also worth trying if you don't want to spend too much time scouring.

Gray & Green

Gray & Green

Quirky is so in with Gray & Green and their outfits like hand block printed checks dress and brush painted sarees are some of our favourites. Whether you like floral prints or stripes and checks, be prepared to lay your eyes on everything pretty while browsing through their collection. We've been loving the button up wrap dresses and sarees with prints of chunky cars, birds. Taking the saree game a notch up above, all the pieces are hand block-printed and have subtle colours that are easy on eyes. You can wear them to work too. You could also go for the blockprint dupattas and suit sets.

This Bombay-based brand has been creating quite a stir with its ruffled sarees and contrast blouses. Combining age-old weaving traditions that our artisans are familiar with, Suta is giving sarees a creative spin, and we aren't complaining. Their saris are ideal for anyone who likes drapes that are dramatic but not blingy. Take your pick from hand-painted, ikat, kalamkari, jamdani, and plenty of other materials from their saree collection, and we bet you'll make a statement.

Bunaai

Bunaai

Shop On

With new arrivals ushering in almost every day, Bunaai is often our go-to store for budget (and offbeat) lehengas and kurtas. This brand gets its pieces designed in-house and the quality is top-notch. The suit collection that comes with a kurta, pant, and dupatta is legit out of a Bollywood movie, and it has something for everyone. Bandhani, indigo prints, pastels, Shibori, tassels, tie-dye — the store has stocked it all up. We even loved their miller cotton jumpsuits which are airy, bright and super elegant.

Say hello to Vintage Loom - a sustainable brand that's maximising on minimalism and making cotton dresses look so dreamy! Their collection includes kurtas, bottoms and dupattas.

Two reasons why we love this brand - their designs are simple and unique, and there's plenty to choose from. Straight kurtas, anarkalis, palazzos, colourful dupattas and co-ords - take your pick. We're obsessed with their straight sets that look dressy but not OTT. The colour range is pretty impressive too. While it's their kurta sets that are all the rage, you can also shop for their lehengas here.
