If your designs could speak, what would they say?

Celebrate India's culture and craftsmanship one bag at a time.

What are the signature elements in your designs?

The distinct use of oil pulled vegetable tanned leather or use of Indian textiles such as Banarasi Brocade

Which celebrity or personality do you dream of dressing?

Which collection are you most proud of, and why?

The Potli Project collection is a collection that I am proud of creating. Its revival of Banarasi Brocade is unprecedented, suddenly making it cool and fashionable to carry Banarasi bags among Gen Z and Millennials. “The Barrel Potli” from the Potli Project was also carried by Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga for the Oscars 2023 event in LA.

Where do you find inspiration for your designs?

Everywhere, but mostly on my travels across India. Temples, museums, bazaars, palaces, nature.

Which designer in the world inspires you?
