Just as fabric is woven through thread the origin of our existence is woven in the intricacies of diversity. The Ghurids is a celebration of our varied past that draws from the influences we now call culture. It is a mix of motifs taken from antiquity and silhouettes that represent the evolution of our inheritance. With the use of woven fabrics you will find cuts that have evolved from the time of the Ghurid empire and are functional to date, embellished with motifs omnipresent in art and architecture of the time but that which have also survived today.

It comes with a knotted shalwar that is tied by a bow, maintaining the dainty characteristic of the female muse and which is closely related to the use of pink in the motif. The dupatta is also embellished with the printed motif.
