Fashion Story

Inspired by 18th century Rajasthani miniature paintings, the designing duo gave a fresh fashion impetus to the art of wedding trousseaux. Working the rich detailing, vibrant colours of miniature art into their couture creations, the designers presented exquisite, handcrafted, heirloom pieces to create a memorable wardrobe. Introducing a men’s wear line, the ‘Jade’ label offered an amazing array of wedding wear along with hand crafted silver accessories
