Whether we like it or not, COVID 19 is going to impact wardrobes all around the world and designers everywhere are bracing up for this transformation. Today, we focus on Limerick by Abir & Nanki; their innovative collection of masks make a compelling case for being a part of your post lockdown attire. While safety is paramount; style doesn’t have to be a necessary casualty as we prep-up for the post lockdown stylebook. Undoubtedly, social distancing & personal hygiene shall remain the saviours from COVID-19 in the next 12-18 months at least. So, we better gear up to a new range of accessories that will become a part of our daily lives. I can already imagine some bright, beautiful ‘potlis’ for hand sanitisers embracing the rugged denim trousers of the young & chic alongside a wide range of bandanas & scarves. But, it’s the facial masks that most certainly will be the next “make a style statement” accessory.
Why are Masks special?
Not only is it a safety product extremely relevant to the current times; I feel it’s a great freeing agent. It’s a protective shell that gives you the liberty to express and maybe rediscover yourself. With your mask on, you are a different animal to the world as they can no longer connect to your previous self. So, express freely, experiment without fear, it’s not just a mask; it’s your secret armour to explore what you are made off.
Limerick by Abir & Nanki
Disclaimers first, the editor of this blog has been following Limerick from the very beginning and has loved the creative expression of the brand through the whole variety of their collections. So we were anxiously anticipating something creative to alleviate the ‘melancholic trance’ of lockdown from the husband-wife duo of Abir & Nanki. And, they didn’t disappoint.
Striking colours and engaging patterns caught our fancy immediately as our Instagram feeds brightened up from Limerick’s posts. “Style makes a comeback,” I thought and clicked the store link on the handle. As the sagging 4G speeds slowed the eventual rendezvous with the collection; doubts had already clouded my mind.
Are these safe or just stylish goodies that don’t mean business at all? I decided to dig-in. It turned out that,
“The Limerick mask has 4 layers with two active layers in between that provide protection by filtering the contaminants and other microorganisms. Both layers have been sourced from certified manufacturers ensuring all-round protection against pollution and other harmful micro-organisms.”

Thank God there is safety with style. I made up my mind to buy one. Another goodie awaited; 50% off and all collections for the month going to an NGO helping the elderly who have been deserted by their kids. Style, Safety & satisfaction; what else could you ask from a purchase?
So as I wait curiously for my mask to be delivered, I invite you to join me in this exploration of the perfect post lockdown wardrobe for the young & chic. Would love to hear your views on the same.
