A JACKET, A BELT AND A COIN PURSE
"From the time I was very young, I have lived deeply immersed in art and culture and have dived even deeper into this world through my work. In the last two decades of my career in design. I have had the privilege of interacting with various artisan communities across India, which has only deepened my love for craft. Naturally, it manifests in some of my most prized possessions, too. Like an ek taar jacket and a silver coin purse both from my label, and a vintage pure silver belt from my personal collection. For me, this jacket is more than a clothing item; it carries handembroidered chakra motifs that represent my love for nature and the harmony I constantly seek. The coin purse symbolises my artistic journey and a love for heirlooms - a love that has led me to travel far and wide."

GUCCI JACKIE 1961 BAG
"Bags and fragrances have become the most memorable items in my life. With their own unique stories, they are the anchors that tie me to each memory and experience. The Jackie 1961 Bag from Gucci holds some of my fondest memories. The silhouette is always the same yet its identity evolves with each colour and fabric. The most chic and formidable women in my life have worn it over the years, and I count my mother among them."

A RING
"The Thomas Sabo ring I wear on my thumb is the most-loved item I possess. My partner bought it as a gift for our second dating anniversary. We had already been living together, and it just caught our attention while we were holidaying in Canada and shopping.
