Introduction: Call Of The Winters
"Thandi hawa ke jhonke, kahan le jaate hain khwab?
Kambal ke kone mein chhupke, poochhte hain raat se sawal.
Pahadon se girti dhund, aur shehron ki udasi,
Sardi ke dinon mein, dil ko chhed jaati hai baatein purani."
- Gulzar
Oh, the scenes of a home in winter. Dahlias unfurling in decadence, casting a shadow on the nasturtiums blooming underneath, while the regal roses look on amusingly. The sun-dappled courtyards that lay vacant during the past nine months of summer now hum with life. A row of jars stuffed with seasonal pickles bask patiently in the sunshine, promising their gastronomic delights with piping hot parathas soon. Winter brings back old memories of warm razai, reading in the garden, and Grandma opening her trunk full of velvet and woollen splendor. ‘The Winter Trunk’ by trueBrowns is an ode to those memories, and to Grandma’s creaking steel trunk that released a faint aroma of cloves and lavender when opened every winter season.
The Winter Trunk is a lyricism of textiles, crafted to infuse style and comfort into your winter wardrobe. The collection encapsulates woolen and velvet pieces inspired by winter’s finest - artistry that echoes the snow-capped valleys of Kashmir, elegance fit for winter weddings, and ease for workdays. Each ensemble is a feeling, of soaking in the winter sun, of the warm hug of a buttery shawl, and of adrak ki chai.
After popularizing its velvet kurta sets, trueBrowns ventures into unchartered territory for the first time with a collection of woollen ensembles that carries you from work to celebrations effortlessly. Let’s explore ‘The Winter Trunk’ in depth.
Kashmir Chronicles
"A beautiful vale set like a jeweled crown on the map of India, the beautiful gardens and the charming colors of its springtime, a reminder of a paradise lost." - Jawaharlal Nehru
Before the first snow covers the Zabarwan mountains, Kashmir unearths its phirans and kangris, waiting to snuggle in their warmth on those icy days. Kashmir Chronicles is a tribute to snow-capped Chinars bearing ancient witnesses to kings come and gone and to the artistic pavilions nestled in the age-old Shalimar Bagh.
Kashmir Chronicles of ‘The Winter Trunk’ features a dazzling array of woollen phirans and 3-pc jacket kurta sets doused in intricate embroidery mirroring the landscapes of this frozen valley. The latticed windows of the Rani Mahal, the shimmering jaal of reflective pools, and the vibrant floral abundance come alive in the woven patterns. The warm pockets embedded into the phirans and embroidered 3-pc woollen jacket kurta sets invite you to seek solace in the winter season. Pair these cozy woollen creations with equally warm leggings from ‘The Winter Trunk’ collection.
