ANKASA Presents Couture
For the Home
For the Home
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.
Through the establishment of ANKASA just 22 months ago, the Ahluwalias have been able to implement these same unique design elements from the world of fashion, into a luxurious home décor collection. 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.
ANKASA was officially launched in August of 2005. In a short time ANKASA has added over 350+ customers to its list of retail partners in the United States and has added dozens of accounts overseas. Their unique and identifiable style has made an imprint on the home world and has attracted many top companies. ANKASA designs exclusive collections for an array of retail chains including; Neiman Marcus, Anthropologie, Shabby Chic and Club Monaco. The company is also working on some hospitality projects for the W Worldwide Hotel chain.
A freestanding retail store is now open on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It houses an exclusive presentation of the ANKASA collection, as well as many special finds in furniture, accessories, and loungewear for the boudoir.
