Chitrashi Rawat Instagram – Rubaaiyaan – Chitrashi X Kharikajai A short collection of pieces adorned by the golden girl @chitrashi to celebrate our mutual love for an old fashioned India. Significantly known for her characters – Komal Chautala in Chakde, Shomu in fashion and more, Chitrashi has continued to bring in versatility in most of her characters. Being a “Pahadan” and hailing from Dehradun- Retro fashion holds a special place in her heart. She emphasises on sustainable living and the need for empowering on all things handmade. Infact, her love for vintage jewellery made way to be included in her bridal trousseau. Rubaaiyaan, is a tribute to the cultural Rajasthani craftsmanship by the artisans of Assam. It is an amalgamation of Assamese Karigari, experimenting with traditional jadau designs to serve the modern connoisseur. Jadau jewellery making happens to be one of the oldest techniques of jewellery-making, perfected and made native by the artisans of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The traditional form of jewellery is handmade without any interference of technology, which increases the human hours [it takes to create it], and makes it extremely valuable. It is surely a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of our country, and something that needs representation on a national as well as a global stage. Thereby, Chitrashi X Kharikajai is a love letter to the nuance of culture and heritage of two states that lie opposite to each other of the country.
