Add a covetable piece from Buddhi Batiks to your wardrobe this season!

Batik is a vital component of every Sri Lankan woman’s wardrobe. It’s fun, fabulous, easy to wear and never dates. It is the perennial trend. Designer Darshi Keerthisena, who heads the famed house, Buddhi Batiks, and who can solely be credited with the revival of the high fashion batik industry recently launched their collection for the season. 

It’s a collection of go-to pieces for effortless chic. With beautiful details and sophisticated finishing each piece in the collection hints at seductive rebellion. A more relaxed yet glossy collection but relevant for every woman on any occasion, in any destination. Standout pieces include a ruffled skirt in burnt orange hues, a teal and navy long sleeved dress, a monochromatic chiffon halter dress, geometric dress and an oxblood and black keyhole top (a personal favourite). Easy to wear jersey skirts and vibrant hued day dresses and Buddhi Batik’s signature saris round off the collection.

To think that Batik is one-print-fits-all is to miss its nuances; there are different versions, prints, colours and textures for everyone and it’s worth discovering which suits you. The new Buddhi Batik collection explores themes like adventurous after dark dressing, seductively sophisticated silhouettes and geometric prints. Darshi’s signature style, mastery of colour and selection of Batik motifs, that are resolutely Buddhi Batiks, are very evident in this collection.

It’s a collection for the modern woman with spirit who understands that understated elegance is key this season.
