Rungolee
Notions of Kindness & ColorRungolee is the creation of a hip mom with a ready laugh, whose various stints round the world enhance her urban sub-continental roots with a global sophistication. Anjali Kamra is an energetic, no pretentions woman with an innate sense of style. Trained at the New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, the idea of designing beautiful clothes for women and marketing them through private trunk shows and exclusive boutiques was the invention of a brilliant career to match a globetrotting life. If you love good design and the finest tailoring, want to wear clothes that are realistically priced and made in numbers so small you'll never run into someone wearing what you have on - you'd think you were onto a winner. Add to the wish list a myriad of gorgeous colors and all natural textiles. And shapes women know to be flattering and stylish with sumptuous, sometimes cheeky and fun riffs using dashes of beading, intricate pleating, ruching, delicate scalloping and knotting. 'Rungolee' is named for a colorful medallion pattern that rural women in India shape on the ground from chalk, flower petals or colored rice as marks of welcome. Its cheery colors beckon, heralding hospitality and joy. With direct connections to the industry of haute couture on the subcontinent, Anjali is in daily contact with a league of sewers, designers, beaders, weavers, pattenmakers, and couriers. She makes frequent trips to the factory floors in India, encouraging, persuading and inspiring her teams. |
