Brand Padmasitaa collaborates with Eminent Artist Bina Aziz
Padmasitaa x Bina Aziz was launched in May 2022 at The Royal Rendezvous
Padmasitaa – “Handcrafted Vintage” work hand in hand with the Artisans and Karigars (craftsman) who carry the legacy of handcrafted vintage thread embroidery. It is a very specialised and exclusive craft which their company promotes, thus preserving the rich culture and craft of India. A special collection with eminent artist Bina Aziz was launched.
Padmini Kolhapure quotes saying “PadmaSitaa was started with an intent to work with artisans from interior India and revive our art and vintage embroideries. Padmini and Sita come from a background of film and fitness and being childhood buddies then forayed into fashion with a strong intent to keep Indias traditions and culture alive . The name PadmaSitaa is symbolic of goddess Laxmi carrying a lotus. And now we take this brand a notch higher by collaborating with an Artist par excellence Bina Aziz and she plans to take this collaboration to a higher level with her artistic sensibilities through her art and her heart”.
Sita Talwalkar says ”As a brand we like to work with different techniques and mediums, thus the idea to collaborate with an artist of Bina’s stature just happened organically over a cup of coffee”.
Curator, visualiser and celebrated artist Bina Aziz says “I am delighted to be collaborating with brand ‘PadmaSitaa’ and adding another dimension of fluidity to my journey as an artist. It’s all about working with right synergies to bring out the best”.
