Dupatta appreciation: Spring 2021 Macaron Collection

My favourite process when working with silk is ice dyeing. When the dye melts through the ice, onto the silk, it results in the most beautiful watercolour effect (like the pinks and lavenders pictured above)💜

Dupatta appreciation: Summer 2021 Fruit Bowl Collection

This was my first time working with Habotai silk for a dupatta. Absolutely loved the flow and sheen of this piece post dyeing 🧡

Dupatta appreciation: Spring 2021 Macaron Collection.

A dupatta is an approximately 2.5 m piece of lightweight silk that is frequently worn as an accessory in South Asian culture. Once cut, the material can be dyed, embroidered, or embellished. It can be worn as a head covering, a shawl, across both shoulders or pinned to one. Dupattas are a versatile styling piece that quickly transform an outfit for special occasions, as well as everyday fits.

Unlearning my limiting beliefs and practicing gratitude. I had a lot of subconscious beliefs that contradicted the abundance I wanted to cultivate in my life. A daily gratitude practice has allowed me to shift my perspective and see the abundance of love, money, resources etc. I already have in my life🧡

What I desire most is an art studio— my own space to create. I also want to cultivate a creative community and bring south asian women/women of colour into that space.

To me, embracing colour is such an important part of my identity as a South Asian woman. The colours, patterns and fabrics I witnessed on my India travels with my mom were stunning. I feel as though I lost that embrace growing up in Canada but I’m making my way back and am beyond grateful to share my love of colour with all of you!

I’m grateful for a lot of things in the city, but one that sticks out to mind is diversity. There are so many different flavours, colours, and personalities in Calgary. I especially love that you get to experience different things in certain areas of the city that is completely unique to that place, this adds so much character and depth to each neighbourhood.

I am incredibly grateful for the abundance of positive energy forces in my life. I feel that I have worked incredibly hard to surround myself with meaningful and beautiful relationships that foster love and belonging!

This last year has been a tough one, as it has been for many, I’m sure. I’m most grateful for the lesson of courage: being afraid but doing it anyway. I’m grateful for the people in my life who let me borrow their confidence so I could cultivate and step into my own. The self-trust and self-acceptance I’ve developed during this process has completely changed the way I treat myself and others.

HELL YES. LOL but seriously that is the ultimate goal. It can be common practice for South Asians to only wear pieces a limited number of times especially when it comes to our wedding/party wear. I’m aiming to make cross cultural pieces for the people so we can mix and match what we already have to create new bomb outfits! I’m especially passionate about hand dyed dupattas, a dupatta completely changes a look. It is the most versatile piece in a South Asian wardrobe. I’m beyond excited to release two hand dyed upcycled dupattas in today’s Macaron Collection.

Oh man, definitely. Remix started with me embroidering my own sari blouse for my brother’s wedding, to sharing the things I made for “fun” on my personal IG story. I made a site, took down a site, then started really focussing my energy on authenticity, cohesion, and collaboration. My new site reflects me authentically. I wanted a brand that released collections with colour stories by season, I wanted people to see the world in the beautiful way that I see it. This desire led to the current Remix when I started collaborating with my remarkable creative partner . I come up with a colour story collection and she helps me create concepts, graphics, art to tell that story.

I knew for spring I definitely wanted to tell a pastel colour story. I started thinking about things that I love that are pastel and landed on macarons. Made my mood board, then from there I talked to my right hand and we took off with a whole bakery concept for social. Shoutout to for bringing the product shoot together with her bomb macarons!
