This ethos is manifested at the store front design that gives a strong visual cue of patterns with a modern tech twist. The composite aluminum clad store front is made to look like a festive saree sprinkled with “saree bhutta” patterns and a temple motif saree border pattern that is edge-lit with color changing kinetic lighting. The logo is made of brushed and edge-lit brass letters that create an elegant and luxurious look.
