Khushi ke 100 Bahane, 100 Days of Happiness

Khushi ke Sau Bahane

The AW21 or Festive’21 Collection is a special collection for us, majorly because under such uncertainties and unpredictable situations, each happy moment is a blessing. We are all collaboratively hoping for better days. In short, we are all looking to find Khushi ke Sau Bahane amidst the uncertain times; hence, the title of the collection.

The designers, when they started preparing for Festive’21, felt that we all relate to the prevailing conditions and as a brand, we should bring that out in some form. However, we wanted to bring forth the positive side of it in the form of hope, togetherness, and nature. We interpreted these three elements into our collection, coming out with beautiful results. The moods of each story in this collection, in some or the other way, connects with the ideas of togetherness, nature and hope. From Khushi ke Sau Bahane Collection, we aspire to bring a ray of happiness into the lives of our consumers.

Why is the collection named "Khushi ke Sau Bahane"?

As mentioned above, Khushi ke Sau Bahane is all about togetherness, nature, and hope. We had all been together in the chaos for the past two years, and we shall be together in coming out of it. A ray of hope can be seen with people getting vaccinated in 2021. Building upon the same, we have tied these ideas to our Festive’21 collection. Another reason is that festivities are all about celebration, being with family and friends, and feeling happy.

Significance of “Khushi ke 100 Bahane”

The inspirations for Khushi ke Sau Bahane stemmed from the little things we learned during the hard times of life. With minimum resources available to us, the freshness of nature or the fragrance of flowers emanating from the gardens heightened our senses and inspired us. The art of attracting positivity, being spiritual, and believing in a hopeful future are some of the thoughts that we intend to depict through this collection. In a nutshell, the significance of Khushi ke Sau Bahane is reflecting on and following the mantra of “Glow through what you go through”.

Besides, reaching the 100-store milestone during a pandemic makes a bold statement. We hope that this provides the much-needed hope and confidence to others who are struggling during these times.
