Models Stitch their Bags
The afternoon soiree seeing models like Dipannita, Nethra, Carol, Binal, Manasi and Sagarika was hosted by Sapna Ahuja of Baggit along with Suchitra Pillai. After finishing the fun task of stitching together tricolour cloth bags to take away their bags, the girls decided to select the bags themselves.
Nethra went for laptop bags while Dipannita was keen on clutches. Manasi wanted a ‘sexy mom’ bag to fill in just about everything, while Ushoshi loved the caps. Suchitra checked out travel strolleys while Sagarika was happy to try out slings.
On the occasion Sapna Ahuja said, “Our chromatic spectrum bags with vibrant colours, lace detailing and chic retro designs rendered in jute are doing extremely well across India, and we are happy to make a responsible fashion statement in every way possible.”
