A Trail Blazer of Menswear
The name “Sharbari Datta” needs no introduction among Bengalis and Indians with even the slightest eye for fashion. While best known to the world as an acclaimed designer of men’s ethnic wear, she was also an artist, dancer, and visionary woman entrepreneur.
Sharbari burst on the fashion scene in the early 1990s with her path-breaking designs. At a time when men's choices were limited to bleak stripes and checks, Sharbari carved out a new path. She saw herself as a “fashion revivalist” who felt that adherence to the dress code of the West had stagnant India's rich handicraft sectors. She was instrumental in reviving rich ethnic designs in men's clothing across the country.

Sustaining the Craft Weavers
The world lost this talented designer suddenly in September 2020, during the height of the pandemic. Run by Ms. Datta, her son Amalin Datta (co-Creative Designer) and her daughter-in-law, Kanaklata Datta (Managing Partner), the sudden demise combined with Covid-19 dealt a severe blow to the studio's craftsmen.
To stay true to Sharbari’s ethos of standing by her workers, Amalin and Kanaklata partnered with Bay Area Prabasi to extend vital sponsorships, ensuring that these weaving artisans survive beyond modern economic pressures.
