The Heritage of Alpona
Alpona is a traditional Bengali folk art, known for its intricate motifs and patterns drawn with rice flour during rituals and festivals. Once a household practice led by rural women, it symbolizes prosperity, purity, and blessings. Over time, it inspired great artists like Jamini Roy, Abanindranath Tagore, and even Satyajit Ray.
At Knottylooms, we celebrate this heritage by reimagining Alpona on handcrafted ties. Using fabric colors with white as the central hue, enhanced by subtle shades, our artisans transform this timeless art into elegant, wearable pieces that blend tradition with modern design.
“Handcrafted on smooth satin silk, this black tie showcases the timeless beauty of Bengal’s Alpona art. Adorned with delicate leaf motifs in soft shades of pink, it strikes a perfect balance between cheerfulness and elegance, making it an artistic statement for both formal and celebratory occasions.”
