If your designs could speak, what would they say?

They evoke an "aww" moment when you see a child wearing them, reflecting endearing innocence and playfulness. They ensure your child doesn't look like a mini adult.

What are the signature elements in your designs?

Culture, functionality and lots of love and comfort are the key ingredients in our designs.

Which collection are you most proud of, and why?

Our first collection featuring our in-house Kathakali print holds a very special place for us. Designed by Ridhima, it was an instant hit, garnering numerous orders from just one sample. We were thrilled and inspired by the overwhelming response.

Where do you find inspiration for your designs?

Indian folk art is our go-to space for inspiration and also the designer's immense urge to constantly innovate is what keeps us making new designs.

Which designer in the world inspires you?

Haider Ackerman and Cristobal Balenciaga.

Share a memorable "aha" moment from your design career.

In our early days, while displaying at an exhibition, a Russian ambassador visited our stall and picked up a few ethnic dhoti sets for his baby boy. Impressed by the quality, he placed additional orders during his stay in India. This moment inspired us to uphold international standards of quality in ethnic wear, reflecting our pride as Indians—our motto since then. Starting right after college, we lacked formal industry training but learned on the go. The initial years were liberating as we experimented and explored various ideas together. One unique concept we introduced was "I am an Artist," allowing kids to color their own clothes using black and white prints and imported fabric pens from Japan.
