Only love

For seven years, Lovebirds by Amrita Khanna and Gursi Singh has fashioned the beauty in the mundane. Much like the words by poet Pat Schneider in The Patience of Ordinary Things’— How clothes wait respectfully in closets And soap dries quietly in the dish And towels drink the wet from the skin of the back And the lovely repetition of stairs And what is more generous than a window?"—Love-birds makes a case for finding love in the granular things. The handkerchief hemline that pronounces a straight, angular dress. A rani pink colour which is infused onto a oversized collared shirt inspired by paper-thin bougainvillea often seen on the duo’s walk to the studio. The label that started with a dot and a line, reimagines perennials proudly, season after season. For as far as we remember, we started our brand with a dot and line,” says Singh, one part of the label that is based in Delhi, with a store in Mumbai and an international presence in Europe, Australia and Japan.
