Although Bangladesh is known as the land of six seasons, winter stands out among the rest for its fog, mists, and cold air. Again, the transition of seasons demands variations in attires and so, to celebrate the beauty of winter, and cultural traditions of our country, eminent lifestyle brand, QRIUS has inaugurated the Winter Exhibition 2021 displaying their exclusive winter collection, located at Banani showroom on 30 November.

Products shown at this exhibition primarily focus on the elementary topics of surrealism and symphony of Kantha stitch—representing the glorious tradition and heritage of Bengal that can effortlessly fill its viewers with a strong sense of cultural identity and inner power. Anyone visiting this exhibition will be guided through the parade of vibrant colours and exceptional beauty playing out on the patterns of the Kantha stitch curated with love, care and excellent craftsmanship.

The exhibition showcases an exclusive collection of Men's and Women's winter wear, confirming that it is possible to give winter clothing a personality—whether that be through sari, blazer or panjabi—all sewed via attention and cotton fabric whilst pulsating with the crinkle and heartbeat of Nakshi Kantha. Additionally, to provide a sense of warmth and affection, Khesh Kantha from the Manipuris of Sylhet and Lahari Kantha from the beautiful Chapainawabganj have been placed in this exhibition for the onlookers. 

Each piece of antique jewellery, found at this winter exhibition, is a unique creation of its own and tells enchanting stories—be that the story of Mexican tribal people or astronomical signs—the handcrafted natural seed jewellery collection is not only beautiful to look at but also modelled with silver.

"Our exhibition products are equally aesthetic, comfortable and recyclable. They embody both the community and culture simultaneously, and most importantly, we have tried to present the original concept of cultural diversity in this exhibition so that it can comfortably build a genuine relationship with the subject," said the renowned designer Chandra Shekhar Saha, who is also serving as the exhibition curator and design consultant for QRIUS.     

He added, "We have endeavoured to set forth the concept of global warming along with the essence of winter season—what it means to us and whether we will be able to enjoy the beauty and coolness of winter after about seventy-five years later. We sincerely want to create awareness among people about the impact of global warming through this exhibition."

The earnest warmth of this winter exhibition can easily be felt against the chill of the afternoon or evening by visiting the showroom of QRIUS located at Banani; this is an ongoing exhibition and will be available until 10 December.
