Trunk Show Coming up This Weekend

Hopefully everyone had pleasant Memorial Day weekend, spent with friends and family. With the festivities of the long weekend as just a preview of things to come, spend some time this upcoming weekend boosting your wardrobe at the Shubrah trunk show!

If you did not get to see the spring collection at this past weekend’s TIECON fashion show, check out the designs firsthand this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Lexington. Not only will you be able to sample the designs found online at shubrah.com, but also some of these one-of-a kind caftans.


Something light, airy, and eye-catching to wear throughout the summer months will turn heads everywhere you go. During the summer, you may not want to fuss over elaborate accessories and shoes. Throw on a comfortable caftan; with elegant patterns and construction, you won’t have to worry about adding much more your outfit.




Pick up a unique piece that no one else is sure to have. With collections for men, boys, and girls, don’t forget to browse for the family and friends either. Better yet, just bring them with you!





Just because summer is filled with lazy days, doesn’t mean your clothes should be lazy too. The Shubrah trunk show will feature carefully embroidered and embellished necklines and details.







Hope to see you at the trunk show!

May Summer Begin

Summer weather will be here to stay any day now, so it’s time to prepare accordingly. New wardrobe, new event calendar, new adventures. Throughout your seasonal transition, Shubrah.com is right there with you.

As you reinstate your summer wardrobe staples, why not add a few new items. The Shubrah spring collection features bright, light-weight scarves to enhance your warm-weather classics. Wear it as an accessory, a top, a skirt, or a head scarf, whichever way suits you best. With so many options, one scarf can create a new look every week.



Looking for nighttime barbecue outfits? Airy dresses or caftans with simple yet elegant embellishments create a soft, casual evening look for gatherings with friends and family after dusk. Pair them with jeans, and you have a laid-back daytime look for mid-morning brunch.

As most relax during the calm summer months, at Shubrah.com the activity picks up, with our debut custom bridal collection nearing its premiere. Sorboni Banerjee, WHDH channel 7 news anchor, has her wedding just around the corner in October. Our wedding dress, rehearsal dinner dresses, bridesmaids dresses, and matching ties for the groomsmen made from exquisite handwoven Indian fabrics are coming together quite well. Here are pictures of the bride, her bridesmaids, and below, Jarrod the groom, who is a news anchor in Rhode Island.

Spring is here

"April showers bring May flowers, so be prepared for flower power in the Spring/ Summer 09 collection, launching on May 1st. The Green Generation was the global theme for Earth Day this year and we are doing our bit! The fashion accessory of the season is the scarf.

What can do you with a scarf, other than tie it around your neck? (For those who are depressed about the economy....we would not suggest that approach!). Well, we have numerous ways of wearing a scarf, of draping it, pinning it, creating a whole new look for a new season.

You can tie it like a halter, drape it like a one shoulder blouse (we suggest putting a camisole under it for an under the jacket office look), or wearing like a skirt/ sarong. Its great for traveling, gift giving, dressing up or down. Come up with your own variation on what you can do with a scarf that brings sunshine into your wardrobe.

Send us an e-mail with pictures. One way to break out of your tired winter look - wrap a scarf with bright colors or flowers over a pretty silk dress or cotton tee- without breaking your favorite piggy bank!

Our new collection is all about color and beautiful fabrics...vibrant colors and embroideries, eco-friendly fabrics, what else can we do to come out smelling like roses? Giving you a peek at the new looks, which we will be ready to launch on May 2nd.

Here's to a green earth, (green is the new black- in case you did not get the memo) and your new summer look!"

New Year, New Horizons

With 2009 upon us, change is palpable. This new year brings a fervor and excitement that has been dormant for sometime now, with a new administration coming in with progressive ideas. While we strive for national improvement in the coming months, we should also take the time to set some goals for self-improvement. We should look to maintain our bodies, both physically and mentally. Thus, our post-holiday wish list: Experiencing the world of cultures around us. Through books, through travel, through fashion, through food. Reading for pleasure, not just work. Partaking in forthcoming change by being more eco-conscious and civically engaged. And maybe, finally, a manageable exercise routine. Challenging our bodies in a healthy manner that actually may be fun as well.


Although the future is uncertain yet, the Shubrah line is drawing from the spirit of resiliency and hope in the Spring/Summer 2009 collection, which is currently underway. The collection will reflect the revitalizing spring season ahead of us, only a few months away. In the meantime, the Fall 08 collection still offers winter fashion essentials, now at 30% off of everything on the website.




In addition to the upcoming Spring line, Shubrah couture will debut in the new year with a custom bridal collection. These pieces incorporate Indian fabrics, western silhouettes, and striking color. With the wedding approaching in a few months, the designer is hard at work blending original bridal fashion with the personalities of the bride and bridesmaids themselves.
