Aranya, the adored brand known for handcrafted elegance and conscientious living, celebrates its 25th anniversary by launching its second outlet in a lovely heritage palace at Harish Mukherjee Road.

The brand is owned by Chandani Basu.

Flowing dresses in contemporary, vivid silhouettes, Jamdani, handloom, and Aranya’s unique block patterns are all available at this outlet. The brand’s exquisitely beautiful hand-painted ceramics shimmer on walls, each piece communicating a tale in its calming beige and brown color scheme. In response to shifting fashions, Aranya presents “dinner for two” sets, elegant dinnerware perfect for intimate nights spent with a significant other.

And for those who find comfort in the great outdoors, sumptuous drapes paired with complementary cushions and bed coverings let the outside in, and lamps made of mixed media create beautiful shadows on the walls.

The recently created area offers an immersive experience rather than just a store. This Aranya outlet is transformed into an inspiration refuge by the combination of products from a professional design team, antiques, curios gathered over the years, and treasures found in dusty stores and dark alleys. While the majority of the objects are for sale, others have been carefully chosen for their visual appeal, inspiring guests to create tranquil spaces in their own homes.

Every nook and cranny of the store is decked out in the cheery Christmas atmosphere, all without adding to the consumerism that is causing it. To produce decor that embraces a careful and eco-conscious ethos while still connecting with the spirit of the season, the Aranya team has skillfully combined tradition with innovation.

Location- 41, Harish Mukherjee Road, Kolkata.

Time- Tuesday to Sunday, 11 am to 8 pm.
