Greetings from Shubrah.com on the this festive month! The end of September and early October this year, brings festivals for all. There is a nip in the air, the leaves are already changing color and our website now has updated fall fashions! If you are looking for fashion advise, send us an e-mail or sign up for our newsletters, we will be letting you know about all the exciting happenings at our end. As we bring out our favorite fall colors, sweater and scarves, I marvel at all the feathery accessories I am seeing out there. Headbands, tie necklaces and even trims on dresses. Well, we have all these "peacock" colors in our fashions this fall. From the gorgeous rich blues to the most vivid reds and purples, the peacocks are imbedded in our fabrics.

We had a great first time showing at Stylefixx. Those of you who attended and shopped, thanks and hope to see you at future events! Watch out for our Fall/Holiday 09 fashion show at Tantric in Boston on Oct 2nd. It's part of Boston Fashion week. Visit the new event's page on our website for details.

As we near Sorboni's wedding, I am adding some initial sketches I did during the brainstorming sessions with the bride and the bridesmaids. More pictures to come after the wedding on Oct 9th. So follow our blog for updates later in the month. Our Diwali/holiday trunk show and sale is on the weekend of Oct 16th, check out the timings and come and shop for our fabulous parties this season! Our accessories and scarves make fine gifts this season. The men's shirt collection is gorgeous and varied, so check it out for that special guy in your life! A great collection of plaids, stripes and solid colors in rich handmade silks. We will see you around town wearing our designs, send in pictures of yourself or friends in our designs. Stay tuned for more events to come. Happy Autumn!

As the colors change in New England, the days and nights turn chilly and the afternoons are warm, every religion seems to be celebrating some festival. Whether it is a harvest festival or a new year event, October is full of celebrations. Chrysanthemums, pumpkins, haystacks, candles, lanterns and rich color. At Shubrah.com we are celebrating our first year in business. Come to our fashion show at Tantric in Boston for our Fall/Holiday 09 fashion show within the Boston Fashion week calendar.

Happy festival season!

Had a wonderful and productive trip to India. Hunted, gathered, designed, executed and we are now poised for Fall/holiday 09 events. Sorboni's wedding is in October, with the White Mountains and fall colors as the stunning back drop. It started a year ago as a creative journey for this beautiful TV news anchor and bride to be and lead us to delve into her Indian roots and mine too.

We did what we do best with this bridal collection, blend the beauty of natural Indian silk fabrics with western design. Plan to take lots of pictures at the wedding and share the stages from concept to wedding day with you, stay tuned to the blog in Oct.

India is all about the Mango People...trees and flowering plants that survive amid high rises, birds on wires, road side gardens and temples on every curve. Gorgeous fabrics, hand made shoes, brilliant glass bangles and spicy flavorful food. Peeple trees, under which Buddha was said to have achieved enlightenment mingle with flowering mango, frangipani and jasmine. The scents are stronger in the heat- of flowers, incense, sweat, spices and of stagnant rain water that does not drain easily from the muddy roads. Cups of Darjeeling tea, conversation, music and old friends. As I bought fabrics, linings, trims and shopped the small bazaars of Delhi,

I would marvel at the way of life where fresh vegetables are sold long side a little stall selling nose rings. The way art, music, culture and yes, Bollywood seeps into every narrow lane of this diverse country and makes us richer when we travel there. Finishing this post on my flight back to Boston, I look forward to sharing the new fall fashions with you, starting with Stylefixx- Girls night out- on the 15th and 16th of Sept in Boston and on the website.
