Tint and Taar

The spirit of the collection

Tint & Taar balances brightness with grace. Instead of heavy heirloom layers, you’ll find fluid silhouettes, light constructions, and embroidery placed with intention so garments move as you do. The result: outfits that photograph beautifully in morning light, glow at golden hour, and read refined under evening illumination—without ever tipping into “too much.”

Palette and craft

Expect a confident colour story: deep blues and lush greens, ruby and scarlet, cobalt and violet, pinks that tilt from blush to hot. The threadwork is quietly meticulous—zari and bead accents, delicate sequins, tonal textures—allowing colour to lead while craft whispers just beneath. Fabrics are chosen for drape and comfort, so you can sit, greet, twirl or dance for hours and still feel composed.

Who it’s for

• The modern bride is looking for lightweight pieces that still deliver a high-impact moment.
• Pre-wedding Celebrations – Ideal for mehendi, sangeet, or engagement ceremonies, offering vibrancy without compromising on elegance.
• The bridal party and close guests who want polished, comfortable looks across multi-event itineraries and destination weddings.
• Anyone who prefers sharp, joyous dressing over heavy ensembles.

Key pieces to explore

• Suit sets with refined surface work for day ceremonies or chic evening pivots. These are the effortless anchors of a multi-function wardrobe.
• Designer kurta sets: modular, mixable ensembles that style up or down across rituals and travel days while keeping movement and comfort front and centre.
• A statement silk Lehenga Set: fluid swish, crafted blouses, and light-catching embroidery—drama you can dance in and re-style long after the wedding week.

Design details that matter

• Lightness first: layered yet breathable builds that deliver colour and presence without weight.
• Embroidery with intention: hand-finished placements designed to flatter and catch light tastefully.
• Photogenic colour stories: saturated hues calibrated for outdoor sunshine, indoor ambience, and flash photography.
• Size-inclusive fit: an extensive size run with custom-tailoring options available for a precise, confidence-boosting fit.
• Thoughtful finishing: soft linings, considered closures, and hems that keep their line in motion.

How to style Tint & Taar

Let the colour and craft lead. Keep accessories minimal: one heirloom earring or bangle, a sleek cuff, a narrow waist belt if you love structure. Choose neutral or metallic footwear with enough cushion for long hours on your feet. Beauty reads best when luminous and balanced: a clean base with one defined feature (a kohlled eye, a flushed cheek, or a rich lip) complements the collection’s saturated palette.

For destination celebrations, build a capsule: one standout lehenga for the main event, a tailored suit set for the sundowner, and a designer kurta set for day functions. Rework blouses, dupattas, and jewellery to create new looks without adding bulk to your luggage.

Occasions we designed for

• Mehendi: colour-forward kurta or suit sets that stay comfortable through greetings, photos, and impromptu dance circles.
• Sundowner: breezy layers in jewel tones, pieces that catch the breeze and sunset light.
• Reception: refined embroidery, sculpted blouses, and elegant drape that reads polished under chandeliers and camera flash alike.

Care and longevity

Treat your Tint & Taar garments like the keepsakes they are. Professional dry-clean only. Store in breathable muslin. Keep embellishments away from sharp jewellery. Steam lightly from the reverse to preserve texture and sheen. With mindful care, each piece will remain rewritable across future weddings and festive seasons.
