Long search to give birth to a garment which is multipurpose yet has a unique
quotient to it. This ardent desire lead team Bageeya to generate the idea of
kimono dresses.
The material hunt lead us to the vibrant land of Gujrat. Where a long lost fabric
of kala cotton was recently revived. The yarns were meticulously woven by the
experienced hands of the artisans.
When the fabric landed in the pious land of bageeya, it was further decorated
and nourished with flowers and herbs.
The fabric was protected from any chemical exposure hence retaining its purity
and originality.
Further in the process, team bageeya, included the fabric named Bagh (
natural block print fabric ) which resulted in a free style reversible kimono
dress which comes along with a kantha belt, which are embroidered in West
Bengal.

Bageeya carries its meaning from Hindi vocabulary, translating to ‘a small garden’ - where the inspiration for material, print and texture comes from. The range of clothing takes birth from natural dyes, for centuries believed to have medicinal properties. The prints and textures on each article are uniquely formed using actual leaves and flowers. Restoring values - Being a Sustainable Label, we noted that following a sustainable lifestyle runs down the line of history where people would produce, reuse, mend and lend - both crops and products. From a time, when best efforts were put to give back what was taken from the surroundings. So the best way of living still would be to bring the past into a practice in present. Thus, Bageeya held hands with ways to promote sustainable fashion. Bageeya envisions to spread Sustainability with AFFORDABILITY and UTILITY in the mass that wants to bring a change in the pattern of fashion consumption.
