  "account": "The Monsoon session of the Indian Parliament is currently underway and Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, who is also a Member of Parliament for the Bharatiya Janata Party, has been in the news for her impeccable work wardrobe. Last week, Ranaut was seen leaving the Parliament building, exuding elegance and style. She was dressed in a baby blue Eri silk sari, a Manipuri brand NUPI creation, paired with a white blouse and ivory suede slip-ons. However, it was her accessories that truly stole the spotlight.\n\nRanaut was spotted carrying a Hermès Birkin in Togo leather, valued at Rs 35 lakh on the current market. Togo leather is a unique material made from calfskin, featuring a soft, raised grain that resists scratches and water while remaining lightweight. This leather texture allows colors to appear rich yet matte, creating a modern and understated elegance. The bag's resilience and pliability make it ideal for Kelly Returnne styles, which emphasize a relaxed silhouette. Togo leather is predominantly used in larger accessories and rigid constructions, making this particular Birkin a highly sought-after combination in the market.\n\nAttached to her wrist was a Rolex Lady-Datejust with a chocolate brown dial. This self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch is considered a milestone in watchmaking history, as it was the first model to combine a self-winding mechanism, water resistance, and a date window at 3 o'clock on the dial. Since its creation in 1945, the Datejust has been refined over the years, with the Cyclops lens added in 1953 to magnify the date display. The current model, valued at Rs 21 lakh, features a woman's version with a 28 mm diameter, which Ranaut was seen wearing. Strapped to her wrist was also a printed umbrella from Good Earth, priced at around Rs 6,100. The umbrella featured the brand's signature Indian Ocean print on the outer hood, with chevron motifs along the inner hood inspired by exotic tropics. The design was inspired by the Sanskrit name for the Indian Ocean, Ratnakara, which translates to the creator of gems.",
