GRAZIA: How does this new line of handbags as a new extension tie into your design DNA?
SHANTNU AND NIKHIL: As a fashion house, our approach and our endeavours with leather have always been highly nuanced. While we've been crafting leather accessories for quite some time, our latest venture has led us into the realm of women's handbags. When a customer enters our store, they aren't merely considering a skirt or a corset; they envision an ensemble. A truly stylish outfit is complemented by a well-balanced bag. We aspire for the discerning individual to associate us with fashion solutions during their style emergencies, providing them with a memorable and satisfying experience.
