CHHAVVI AGGARWAL
Vibrant, modern, and classy are the first three words that come to my mind while looking through their wide range of clothing. They have something for everyone to choose from, with a selection spanning shararas, palazzos, lehengas, kaftans, pant saris, and pant suits. Created with fusionwear in mind, their designs bring together different elements of Indian and western aesthetics. The brand also aims to be an accessible luxury label with sizes from XS to 4XL, with the option of custom sizes, so it’s easy for anyone to find a simple and fun outfit to dance in at a pool-side mehendi!

AMAMA
A desi woman’s jewellery carries important significance throughout her life, and is often received as a symbol of love and security, passed on from generations before and given to her children later in life. Amama established their brand with this story of heirloom jewellery in mind, creating designs that can be passed down through generations. Their designs are rooted in modernity, while still retaining the significance held by timeless pieces. They craft necklaces, chokers, earrings, belts, bracelets, rings, anklets, mangtikas
and more.
