About the collection 'Chiki – Miki' –

"Chiki-Miki" means sparkling and bright. Sanjukta Dutta's collection has the perfect flavor of the indigenous cultures of Assam perfectly blended with the taste of contemporary wardrobe sensibilities of millennial women. Sanjukta Dutta brings commercially viable traditional designs which bring out the feminine power and elegance of women of all body types and age groups. Each ensemble is part of a process that requires a minimum of 45 days starting from collecting silk which is produced only at a specific village in Assam to handcrafting iconic motifs on the exuberant Assamese silk finally resulting in a masterpiece drape.

 Sanjukta is passionate to instigate love for traditional roots in one and all with her well-crafted haute couture label.

The intricate detailing and texture added to each ensemble made the collection even more stunning! Timeless craftsmanship on an exuberant color palette of the Assamese silk had all the more reason to fall head over heels for the newly launched ensembles.
