band of beads now live and running on Amazon.in!

Presenting a peek into the world of skirts and tops, exclusively designed and handcrafted at band of beads!

Fabrics tell a story!

Zig-zag pattern - are those waves in the ocean?

Colorful satin stripes - is that a rainbow???

Printed, woven or just plain... We believe that fabrics tell a story!  And its not just the story, its the ambience which makes it more enjoyable.

At band of beads, each fabric is hand-picked having a special imagination element, a theme. What's more, these fabrics are mainly made of cotton - natural, maintainable and very comfortable.

Skirt design - adding a twist!

Blue border on a yellow fabric - Is that a beach?

Maroon frills on a red fabric - Wonderful flower!

Frills, borders, a combination of frills and borders or just plain fabric... these flavors add a twist to the fabric story!

The fabric theme is enhanced with the skirt design. This brings out the theme and makes it more stylish!

The Hero Element

Each story has a Hero - A person who drives the whole story, keeps you asking for more!

The hero of the skirt and top story is the bead accessory. Each bead accessory tells the skirt story, the theme. The beads are matched with the skirt colors and woven together to create a bead dangler. These danglers are detachable from the skirt. At times, it can be worn as a bracelet.

Finishing!

The band of beads theme-based skirts and tops come with a matching cotton lining for the extra comfort. The skirt waistband is elastic to ensure a best fit. What's more, each skirt and top are tailored by expert hands. 

The World of Skirts and Tops.... Proudly designed, sourced and made in India! Are you ready for an imagination ride with the band of beads skirts and tops?!!!

Old is Gold!

Memories. 

A snapshot of life-events. 

Sometimes, forgotten in the sands of time. 

Sometimes, gulped by monstrous storms. 

Sometimes, hidden in a treasure-box - waiting to be re-discovered one day....

I too have a sweet memory. A timeless memory, still alive! In fact, the witness... of togetherness... an analog wrist watch!

An analog wrist watch. It has many strong competitors - digital wrist watch, pulse rate wrist watch, mobile-cum-wrist watch... and the list goes on! Eventually, they are all add-ons to the original! The beauty lies in how three hands and a dozen numbers communicate throughout the day, for days... till the battery needs a change! It is in the journey of these three hands, that we witness the various plays of life, with varying roles! With each role comes a different personality and a new you! But what remains inside, is the ORIGINAL you! And YOU are different!

My analog wrist watch was a wonderful gift on a wonderful life-event. Its factory-made bands kept changing, but the clock remains the same! There was a point when I realized that the band can be unique, not like the crowd of factory-made! "How about some hand-made stuff?", I thought. That's when I put on my thinking hats to design what would best go with a symbol of memory. MY memory.

A band with beads or a band with charms? Wow! Choices to make already! Eventually, the whole process is another memory, which would be my constant companion, whatever the time!

A timeless memory

A set of three with a story!

Black. 
Absence of light.
Absence of colour.
Absence of motion.

The sense of vision at a complete halt.

A gentle breeze gives a tingling feeling of goosebumps. Complete silence broken by the rustle of leaves. A burst of moonlight as the clouds part ways like a layer of curtains. Darkness broken... giving way to a hidden mystery in the twilight.

Twinkling stars with unique stories, brighten up the sky with a dash of glamour and life. A pale palette of colours unfolding its way making each object evident.

Two birds. Exact opposites. Same species.

A colourful, handsome peacock. A gorgeous, white peahen. Seated, on trees suiting their persona. Taking a breathtaking view of the moon, a magic unfolds...

OM sweet home!

Marigold. Radiating vibrant visual and aromatic energy. A spring season welcome with the very first bloom in my balcony garden. What a beautiful sight!

Days passed.

Two, three, four....  The plant looked like a polka dot pattern! Nature is truly an inspiration!

Days passed.

A pest attack. The plant started losing its life. Disaster.

Days passed.

A sprout. From the very first dried marigold that fell in the soil. A Hope. Happiness.

Nature has its own ways of healing.

This inspired a creation. Radiating a positive energy. OM sweet home.
