I Am A Pluffy Puff Girl

Imagine piles of fluffy, 
white snow that has just fallen 
and then imagine the perfect all winter white bed. 
A quilt with hints of hand embroidery and fanciful pom pom detailing, 
along with ivory silk or linen pillows covered in sparkling crystals, 
downy feathers and intricate embroidery, 
will make you feel as though you drifted off to sleep and woke up in Chamonix. 

For the past decade, the husband and wife team of Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia have worked hard to make an imprint on the couture and ready to wear fashion world by sourcing fabrics, and designing the rare fabric finishes and embroideries for many top ready to wear houses; 

Oscar De la Renta, Escada and Vera Wang, 

to name only a few.

The idea of fusing fashion and home has been a vision of theirs for many years. 

While the ready to wear design business is still bustling and flourishing, they longed to create a home product that would cater to the people who have a “passion for fashion”…The idea of offering people with a strong sense of color and style, a home textile collection that would inspire, was just what the home industry and customer base was craving. 

ANKASA utilizes many “couture” finishing techniques in the line. 

The majority of the collection is embroidered by hand and the color palettes each season, mirror what is presented down the runway.





And I love all these pillows from the Snow Drift collection, 

simply because I love white.
