Sabyasachi, a desi favourite brand seems to have ticked off a lot of people with its new collection, which has nothing fresh to offer. The brand, which is amping up for the launch of its latest H&M collection gave us a sneak-peek on Instagram, and the internet honestly thinks we deserved better.
The Sabyasachi X H&M collection’s first saree is something straight out of your grandma’s cupboard – but not in a good way.
I’m pretty sure my grandmother had a very similar saree in 1970s which didn’t cost her a kidney pic.twitter.com/RWphJoNHGw

Twitter is pretty sure their Amma wears this saree – a staple in most Indian households, that should definitely not be priced at ₹9999. Who did you steal this design from? Every single shopkeeper in India?
This is the knock-off. My grannies wore this stuff all their lives and it was never expensive and the fabric was so good that we made quilts out of them later and we still have those.

That’s a cotton printed saree and almost every Bengali woman used to have at least half a dozen. They turn wonderfully soft with every wash, and later used to be stitched in kanthas or used as kitchen wipes.

Someone at sabyasachi apparently. Even my laziest saree look would be so much better. Like my aunt literally wears such saris every damn day at home.

Sticking to the roots or lazy designing?
