By Samachar Digital

Chandigarh, Oct.27, 2021:- The Festive Lane (TFL) exhibition is all set to present unique collections of start-ups that were created amid the tense COVID-19 times. The products made by the young founders are quite different. The exhibition will be different from others also because  of intricate embroidery based designer wear & handmade products from all across the country. Kashmiri embroidery based designer wear, mul mul fabric based attires , Banarsi suits etc are coming from all over India  TFL will be held in the lawns of Hotel Mount View on October 29. Over 45 exhibitors will be present.

Renowned label ‘Rampur Ke Gharaare’,  90- year old Harbhajan Kaur with her besan barfi , Rusky and Ritu from Kashmir with ‘Tilla’ and ‘Zari’ Kashmiri style collections will be adding a scintillating aura to the showcase. The exhibition will be a unique amalgamation of traditional Indian handicraft based products made using intricate embroidery and motifs and new age creations.

Exhibition’s curator Rashmi Bindra, a fashion, textile and interior designer and a cancer survivor, said that it will not be a run-of-the-mill kind of exhibition but a rare occasion where young talents, who were shaped up by odds and challenges caused by COVID-19, will be showcasing their innate talent through their offerings. It is a must visit for all. She added that we have chosen an outdoor setting for TFL as it gives much more shoulder space than interiors and also for safety reasons in the COVID era. 

In the startups exhibiting ‘Picaro,’ a brainchild of young Anushca Bindra and her partner Sakshi Singla, tie and dye quirky western wear will be presented. Picaro was started in November last year.

The exhibition will offer an interesting variety , with home grown jewellery and accessory designers, bakers, painted shoes, gluten-free herbs and more. There will be home-made soaps, pottery, lots of plants with lovely pots, and gift hampers for Diwali.

If you are looking for home decor, this exhibition is the right place to visit. There will be lovely suits, Banarasi dupattas, mulmul, and organza sarees. The showcase will offer  a true amalgamation of traditional, ethnic and western wear.

Apart from Anushca, some other young founders of unique startups also interacted with the media. Sukhmani, who with 'Sage' is into Crystals, Candles & Tarot Card Reading, interacted with the media about her initiative.
