Wish List

 

Wishes are an abstract idea of the human mind. We wish for certain things around us, we also wish for things that we don't always find. The more we progress in this journey of life, the more we realise that it's the small wishes of our heart, which upon fulfillment brings us overwhelming joy.

That being said, “Wish List” makes a humble effort to fulfil those very desires, at least as far as fashion is concerned. They seek to bridge class and trend, elegance and craftsmanship, uniqueness and beauty and mostly, superior quality and affordability. This Pahela Baishakh they are here with their new collection comprising red, white, yellow, fuschia, purple and other happening shades. Prices range from Tk 1500-2400.

Rang welcomes Baishakh

Pahela Baishakh -- a day that every Bengali celebrates with much fanfare and enthusiasm. Efforts go into the preparations for the day, which at times start almost a month back and at times even more.

Rang itself has prepared to welcome Baishakh by inaugurating its arrangement for Baishakh -- “Baishakher Rang 1419”. The new collection was launched on 31 March at the Semanto Square (Rifles Square) branch in Dhanmondi.

One can get a small preview of Baishakh as they enter the stores of Rang all over the city. With decorations replicating that of Pahela Baishakh and products that are themed the same, Rang has brought the colours of Baishakh two weeks early for its customers.

Each and every product starting from saris to shalwar kameez sets, panjabis to t-shirts, jewellery, bed covers or décor pieces, each and every thing shouts Baishakh where the designers have played with various traditional materials and motifs.

Many celebrities were present during the programme. Renowned artist Shukumar Pal inaugurated the event by applying a few wonderful strokes of red, blue, yellow and green to a canvas set up at the store entrance.
