When we started looking at Anita Dongre’s work, we simply couldn’t stop! As we saw AND catering urban formal wear for the Indian women, we were EAGER to know what’s more in the store.
We jumped onto her next brand Global Desi which was launched in 2007 and its first outlet was set-up in Mauritius, in 2008.
This brand was inspired by the designers’ college days and hence delivered boho-chic wear for women, the kind of garments she used to wear in her college days.
From Global Desi website
Dongre raised in Mumbai by her parents, used to visit her grandparents in Jaipur, Rajasthan. She fell in love with Jaipur’s colors, liveliness, and vibrant culture and her love poured out into her brands. Her brand Global Desi identifies and is inspired by Indian folklore and takes desi to a global level!
The prints, colors, and stories behind their collections are desi whereas the silhouettes are western, bringing in the Indo-western wear. The brand targets women between ages 18 to 35, who have a knack for Indian prints nationally, as well as globally.
Comfort, functionality, and style stand under the roof of the House of Anita Dongre. Whereas Global Desi adds its leaf of boho-chic wear for women. GD offers pieces of similar design with varying sleeve lengths and hemlines for consumers who do not choose bold strappy tops.
Anita Dongre’s vision of creating affordable designer wear stands through Global Desi too. The price range here is between Rs.1,000 to Rs.6,000, not taking into account the End of Season Sales which drops the prices 50-70%.
Global Desi’s spring/summer 2020 collection, named JALSA – which means celebration – celebrates sisterhood. Making coming back to a place that feels like home and of memories no less than a sweet celebration.
Comfort, class, chic-i-ness are all felt through the collection’s designs and visuals. The color palette chosen gives the wearer a comfortable, soothing, lively vibe to them enhanced by the free flowy silhouettes used.

For somebody who doesn’t want to pick the strappy shouldered jumpsuit can choose to pick this half-sleeve V-neck blue Gharara Jumpsuit. Another similar thoughtful option for the Indian wearer.

This mustard, white floral printed, gathered tiers Midi, which makes it a cool blend of style, comfort, and design.

The light blue, printed Gharara set with a keyhole neckline and broad shoulder straps talks of comfort, breeziness, beauty, and elegance. Who said fashion has to be uncomfortable, we’d rather pick this.

The Teal color chosen for the jumpsuit calls out the fun, bold, energetic side of the woman in you. Where the sleeveless, fit and flare silhouette makes it chic, the embroidery gives it an Indian touch.
Anita Dongre’s designs never leave you feeling ‘I’m not so sure..’, they’re more like ‘YEAHH! That’s what I wanted! The soothing feeling of finding the right dress *satisfied sighs*.
Did we tell you that Global Desi care has set up Community Tailoring Units in rural Maharashtra, where women in need are trained professionally to make garments? Well, now you know.

It has just been 2 hours and the elastic band of the mask has started hurting ears! The elastic loops have to be adjusted frequently in order to give relief to the ears. Ultimately the mask goes off the face and we become prone to the virus. I am sure that you are able to relate to this pain. To protect you against the virus, our reusable and washable masks carry an inner layer of melt-blown non-woven polypropylene material.
This inner layer having a filtration efficiency of 0.3 microns is capable of protecting you against the microbes. For you to remain ahead of the fashion curve, all the fabrics used for making the 2 side usable face masks have been chosen by our in-house fashion research team led by a NIFT Alumni according to the WGSN recommended Summer Spring 2020 fashion forecast and trends.
I would like to specially inform our viewers that The Sizes & Designs of the masks, Prints & Base fabric can all be customized. Bulk Production within stipulated time is possible. We are already working on the Designer Fabric Masks Autumn-Winter 20/ 21 Collection And we will be soon launching our collection of Designer Anti-Microbial Fabric Masks Collection. The Anti-Microbial fabric hinders the growth of microbes like bacteria, virus, and fungi.
