Newborn essentials such as mittens and booties, changing stations, diaper caddies, baby bedding, diaper bags and gift boxes are available for purchase.

Cinta
It took Rupika Harshwardhan P three years of development to launch CINTA in 2024.

Each piece (be it the Lyla Butterfly Chair, Little Lamb Bassinet or Luna Unicorn storage basket) is designed keeping a child's safety in mind.
