Krisha Sunny Ramani
Totsy Tote
Totsy Tote is made of a “…group of Indian Artisans who specialise in making handbags.” I find this lotus-inspired bag to be absolutely stunning and one of my favourites that they offer. I love the colours, the detailed embroidery, and the delicate pearls to clutch to. If you want to let your accessories do the talking, this bag is for you!
The Butterfly Effect
Opalina Jewellery
Opalina Jewellery, which is made in India with the support of “…over 20 artisan families,” was also at the Exhibition. The Anorea earrings immediately jumped out at me as a statement piece, but they are still soft in their design. I love the additional details and gems on the earrings as well. If you’re looking for stunning jewels to accessorize with, definitely give this brand a look. If you’re looking for stunning jewels to accessorize with, definitely give this brand a look!

I am 100% obsessed with this funky jacket/pants combo. The design Kiaayo’s artisans is absolutely everything! According to x28events, the Kiaayo’s work celebrates the “rich cultural heritage of Kutch with contemporary western styles,” and this ensemble is no different. I love the detailed embroidery, the bold colours and symbols used, and the fact that it still somehow seems to give ‘trying too hard.’
Sheetal Batra
This is one of many incredible looks in the Noor Jahaan collection. I love the vibrant and deep purple colour that’s complimented so well by the gold embellishments. Between the silky material and the detailed embroidery work adorning it, I can’t choose anything that’s wrong with this lehenga. Unreal!
Mohsin Naveed Ranjha
I love the shades of green in the Festive Eid Collection 2025. The detail work is stunning and elevates this already elegant look.
I hope you enjoyed these as much as I did. Tell us in the comments which style is your favourite!
