About UsWe thank you for your visit to our site and extend a warm welcome to you to Chagan?s. The fashion designs. It is a great pleasure to introduce ourselves as a fashion garment design cum R&D centre, designing and fabricating high-end fashion garments We specialize in the Rajputana style of old and new fashion designs and Our specialty includes hand and machine embroidery using pure gold and silver wire threads, real or semi real diamonds and stones as per the demand of the time and the requirement of the buyers. The roots of our centre go back to the Rajputana time of Rajas, Maharajas and Zamindars, when our forefathers were in the same business of designing and arranging designer cloths for them. In early sixties our grandfather, the most sort after designer of that time had to leave for the final abode untimely and left some unfinished tasks and designs for us to complete. See the photograph below. These are some master pieces from the archives.
Due to improper upkeep, many such master pieces vanished with time. Most of them, The Sherwanis, Achans, Safaas / Paggaris and much more.
In between when the period of the Rajas and Maharajas was over and there were not many people to appreciate or buy the art , we had to drift to other trades as well and for around 45 years there was a gap, till the clock turned the full cycle. We are back in our heritage business again, which has flown from generation to generation.
In our Endeavour to preserve the heritage, we have pledged to keep the quality of our work at the same level as at the time of our forefathers and the time of Rajas, Maharajas, jagirdaars and Zamindars. The procurement of the raw material at that time was done from selected places. Like the silk was coming from Banaras, Chanderi, a special fabric from Ujjain, Printing was done in sanganer with gold and silver water, gotas were being used from khandela, famous taxxals from different places in Rajputana and some work was being done in Jaipur?s Johri bazaar. |
