Patine’s fall winter collection, “Eclectic Folklore” , takes us on a journey through the nomadic tribes of the Indian desert. Patine’s creations are inspired by rich artistry of India’s cultural heritage. From reviving old heritage crafts like chikankari, Parsi Ghana, zari and zardozi ,Patine selects the most talented embroiderers and weavers for its collections.
Their inspiration has come from the nomadic tribes of Kutch, and the embroideries are a coalescence of vintage oriental motifs to “Chinoisirie’. All this bound together with geometrics tribal borders and edgings inspired by tribes of Kutch, makes the collection come alive.
Donned in beautiful pastels, distressed denim, coral, teal and sage with techniques ranging from Parsighara and Zari Ari, velvet appliqués, lace inserts and trims, the models ooze oriental vibes. Blouses with sporty bottoms with embroidered details give an artisanal touch. easy flowing dresses and capes provide options for contemporary nomadic hearts.
Vintage inspired motifs on lush velvet, wool felts , silk and hand-loomed Ikat pay homage to an oriental theme with an eclectic vibe. Known for their separates, Patine showcases some greats sets as well, which include capes with pants and embroidered jackets over maxis.
