Discover the bold charm of Indian fusion. This is where our cultures unite!
Welcome to your native fashion space Threads & Fabrics by Mangla Textiles, a blog by Indian designers with decades of trade practice!
The year is 2020 and borders are virtually non-existant, both globally and mentally. The definition of MAN is changing to a mental state, and not the threads on one's body. This healthy growth in cultures everywhere, is opening numerous new doors for fashion & art.
We have been finding a lot of bold new designers, willing to experiment and define Indian fashion in new ways, bringing new colors and themes to men's wear.
Here is a list of labels & brands making the first move -
TistaBene
TistaBene is part of a lifestyle retail company of the same name, based in the Pink city, i.e. Jaipur. The classic colors and motifs of their city are beautifully bold on each shirt. An absolutely confident look!

In the course of designing dress fabrics, we have always shared inspiration between the 2 segments. Our popular Dress Material series, Shapes, was inspired from a Men's shirting design 14 years ago. We have always believed in the adaptable and aesthetic power of good design. The secret ingredient that makes it attractive, has the least to do with gender. We plan to make the most of this ethnic wave, and conduct thorough Research & Design on every style our diverse culture has to offer.
"India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most artistic materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only!" - Mark Twain
As the idea of daily ethnic makes its place in the minds of men across the country, it takes just a little bit of added confidence to pull off an ethnic shirt. Needless to say, this is a MYTH. But since everyone believes it, it automatically portrays someone wearing an ethnic print shirt as bold & confident.
One of the many reasons to try ethnic everyday-wear!
Take pride in the designs of our motherland, and keep exploring. Don't let your style stand still.
Until next time,
Team Mangla
