BT x TB
a craft driven menswear collaboration by two women textile designers
Bann Thann X Netherlands Cricket Team
Bumped into the Netherlands international cricket team, and an unexpected dinner turned into our best collaboration yet. Next thing we knew, we were having breakfast with the team, who were proudly wearing our shirts for a photoshoot.
Meet the Designer
You know, people often talk about fictional men written by women in movies and pop culture, but I'm here to proudly declare: I'm a character written by the men in my life. "Tom-boy" is a tag that's been stuck on me for as long as I can recall, and nowadays, I wear it like a badge of honor.
While pursuing textile design at Srishti School of Arts and Design, I discovered my personality in my clothes, influencing the men around me. I dressed my dad, cousins, and friends in new colours and styles, with some hits and some learning experiences!
Know Our Story
We noticed that there's a huge gap when it comes to men expressing themselves through fashion. Thus, this brand was born for men to simply TRY. Try a new colour, a fresh silhouette, or dive into patterns.
Our wish? That every guy who slips into a bann thann kurta and strolls out feels like time has slowed down, a gentle breeze tousling his hair. Picture it: he's the hero of his own story, with "bann thann chali dekho aaaye jaati re jaati re bann thann chali dekho aae jaati re" playing in the background.

Kunal Tilak
At Bann Thann, we were honoured to create a custom ensemble for Kunal Tilak, founder of The Tilak Chronicle, for his sister's royal wedding at Kesari Wada.
We designed a short sherwani with geometric threadwork, paired with a #gendaphool yellow kurta and raw silk trousers, reflecting both tradition and elegance.
Kunal’s trust in our creativity allowed us to experiment and bring this vision to life.
Rucha Bhagwat
At Bann Thann, designing for Rucha Bhagwat's wedding was a journey of creativity and collaboration.
From a raw silk lehenga with intricate hand embroidery to a custom bustier blouse for the sangeet, each piece reflected her vibrant personality and unique style.
Rucha’s vision and artistic spirit pushed us to explore new techniques and ideas, making this project truly unforgettable.
Vaishnavi & Atharva
At Bann Thann, designing for Vaishnavi and Atharva’s Sangeet was all about fun and flair.
Atharva’s bling-embroidered sherwani and Vaishnavi’s ruffled organza blouse with a chevron-patterned lehenga perfectly captured their lively spirit.
The coordinated outfits combined comfort and glamour, letting them dance the night away in style. Dive into their story to see how we brought their celebration to life through fashion.
Gaurav Bhagat
At Bann Thann, we had the privilege of designing two distinct looks for Gaurav Bhagat’s special day.
From a classic blue bandhgala for the Sangeet to a beige silk sherwani paired with a bright red kurta for the wedding, each outfit was crafted to
reflect his unique style and confidence.
Discover how we balanced tradition and modern elegance for this unforgettable celebration.
Mohammed Karla
At Bann Thann, we had the joy of designing for Mohammed and Sazia’s nikah, our very first.
For Mohammed, we crafted a custom lilac kurta with intricate embroidery and sequins, paired with ivory trousers and a cherished family heirloom.
The ensemble perfectly complemented Sazia’s pearl white lehenga, creating a timeless look. Dive into the full story of how we celebrated love and tradition in style.
