CHENNAI: Shop till you drop at the Duchess Utsav, co-sponsored by Apollo Health Care and South India Shelters Pvt Ltd and Calonge and associate sponsors Swans India.Calonge brings the genius of handcrafted leather to your world and it is the first name and the last word in hand-braided leather accessories. Named after the beautiful city near Palma de Mallorca, Calonge is home to the art of hand braiding, and its venerable traditions are preserved and practiced here.
Perfection cannot be hurried. It takes days for a skilled artisan to hand braid and produce a single finished piece. Hand braided leather is the ultimate icon for the post-modern age, effortlessly counter-pointing the magic of hand crafted design against the mass market monotony found everywhere else. Recognized by cognoscenti as the ultimate in panache, woven leather accessories are much sought after in all the fashion capitals.
Swans India products are a desirable collection of leather footwear for women and the shoes are beautiful, modern, comfortable and elegant. Gaitonde, in addition to its mens footwear, is now launching an exclusive range of footwear for women. Apart from a wide range of shoes readily available to be picked up from the Gaitonde store on Shanthi Colony, Anna nagar, they also provide service for customising shoes. Exotic shoes made using genuine salmon and ostrich skins are also available on hordes.
Calonge will also launch its new collection of bags and totes for the coming season along with Swans India and Gaitonde. Touch of Gold from New Delhi, Suruchi, a multi-designer store from Kolkata and Sequence Lounge by Rashida will be launching their new festive collection. A special pavilion showcases Pomegranate, Neon Store and other designers from NID and NIFT.
The Duchess Utsav has always been supportive of NGOs like Tanker, CanStop, and NAB to name a few. This year they have extended their support to Restore, an initiative of Team Raj Nivas to transform lives of inmates of Pondicherry Prison by skill development. When you buy a product of Restore, you are contributing to changing lives. Also on display are products made by inmates of Puzhal Prison.
