‘Milan’ Spring summer collection (Casual wear)2026, Winners of ” The Best Handloom-Based Pretwear Collection” featuring the unique Tangaliya weaving from Gujarat. This art form is defined by its distinctive hand woven dots, created by a traditional weaving process that gives the fabric a tactile, beaded appearance. This collection reinterprets this heritage craft into a line of contemporary casual wear, seamlessly blending the richness of Gujarati handloom with modern style, making it perfect for everyday elegance.
Inspired by Tangaliya, a traditional handweaving from Gujarat, this collection features unique, intricate dot patterns created by twisting threads by hand. We have used this centuries-old craft to create a modern, wearable collection that celebrates slow fashion and cultural preservation, with each piece telling a story of artistry and tradition.
Blissfully complementing JDDA 2025’s theme- PAUSE, ‘Prioritising a Unique Sense of Ease’, Milan collection promotes Tangaliya weaving, a traditional craft from Gujarat that creates intricate dot patterns by hand. This slow process is a mindful practice, where intentional pauses help the weaver to maintain focus.
