What is Rang Style?
Earlier this year I shared with all the blog readers that Rang Decor is evolving to encompass all the wonderful designs related to fashion, textiles, jewelry and more.
Today on the inaugural post I am sharing with you all an accessory brand that creates bags distinguished by color, craftsmanship and signature charms.
Pure Ghee Designs.
The vibrant colors, the attention to details on every aspect of their product and inherently Indian in design sensibility caught my attention.
Pure Ghee Design is the creation of Aditi Prakash who is a sculptor and industrial design post graduate from the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad one of the top design schools in the world.

Aditi's work is deeply inspired by the rich colors and textiles of India. She started Pure Ghee Designs in 2010.

The name Pure Ghee came about when one of her craftsperson presented her with a dabba ( tin container) of homemade pure ghee or clarified butter. It was the best gift he could think of, it was handmade, it signified quality and a taste that had no substitute.

When I wrote to Aditi about doing a post on Pure Ghee Designs, she suggested a creative collaboration. I loved her enthusiasm and decided to visualize, style & shoot with some of the wonderful Pure Ghee Design products.
So presenting visuals & words.
Scene I
Damini~ Ma, I am wearing the brocade half sari with deep pink tiny floral prints today, can I borrow your tie-up high heel sandals please?
Tara, looking up from pleating the soft silk sari between her fingers, 'Sure go ahead. Are you braiding your hair?
Yep. Why?
I completely forgot to order fresh Jasmine flowers yesterday. It would have looked great with the braids.
Damini smiling ~No worries Ma. Look!
Tara's face lit up with admiration as she looked at her daughter.

Scene II
Ironing her crimson silk blouse on her bed, Kavita's thoughts meandered to Delhi. She remembered fondly her best friends wedding with an early morning Muhurtham. She had worn the same sari on a cold winter morning and made heads turn.
She peeped out from her Michigan home window, the sun had finally come out after a week of snow.
Kavita looked at the Gajra Potli draped on her chair and smiled. She was going to recreate that same magical entrance but in a new place.

Scene III
Kia looked at her watch, 4.06 pm. Where did all the time go?
Completely engrossed in numbers and graphs on her presentation.
Thankfully a big batch of soup was simmering on the stove. Ah! Dinner taken care of.
Ting Tong the doorbell chimes.
How was your day sweetie ?
Mom, the soccer practice starts at 4.30p.m. today replied Maya
Are you kidding me? It's 4.10 pm already!
Maya, go get your snack from the kitchen, let me grab my bag & the keys! We are out in 5.

Loved this post Archana!! So well illustrated. Aditi is doing a great job. I like how her style very simply but elegantly ties up modern with ethnic and traditional. Would definitely look forward to owning some stuff from her beautiful collection in future!! Thanks for bringing this to us.
