1 . URNAM — Pareidolia SS26
There is something quietly profound about finding meaning where none was placed - a face in fabric, a memory in texture, a feeling you recognise but cannot name. That is the heart of URNAM's summer offering, Pareidolia SS26. Rooted in the childhood instinct of discovering stories in the ordinary, the collection translates this tender human impulse into wearable art. Each piece is crafted in breathable natural fabrics made for warm days, enriched with meticulous hand embroidery and surface techniques that reward a second glance, and a third. Abstract at first, then deeply personal. For the woman who dresses with quiet confidence and a distinctive eye, Pareidolia is your summer essential - it doesn't just dress you, it speaks back to you.
2 . Torii
Torii is a handcrafted, proudly made-in-India baby and children’s essentials brand. Founded by Ayushi Pasari, who believes that the little things bring the biggest joys, Torii was created with a vision to elevate everyday essentials. Blending heritage craftsmanship with modern design, Torii offers a thoughtfully curated range of quilts, dohars, waffle towels, pyjamas, and bathrobes. Its blankets, the brand’s signature, preserve traditional techniques, elevated with superior cotton quality and a refined, contemporary design to offer breathable, year-round comfort. With a commitment to the finest quality materials, Torii strikes a balance between luxury and accessibility—creating pieces that feel exclusive, yet remain within reach.
3 . The Tribe — Redefining Eyewear with Sustainability & Style
Started in 2015 by Hitesh Parwani and Dinesh Relwani, TRIBE was born from a quirky idea and a shared passion for creating something different for India’s eyewear culture. Known for introducing wooden sunglasses to the Indian market, the brand blends sustainability with bold individuality. Using refined materials like Wood, Seashell, Natural Horn, and Italian Acetate, TRIBE creates eyewear that feels more like a personal expression than just an accessory. Every frame is designed to stand out while staying eco-conscious, right down to their signature premium wooden packaging. With optical expertise, the brand also focuses heavily on lens quality, offering UV400, polarized, prescription lenses, and customizable lens colours. At its heart, TRIBE believes the Bold eyewear designs reflect personality, comfort, and confidence — all at once.
4 . Aishwarya Raka
Label Aishwarya, a Mumbai-based homegrown fashion brand founded in 2022 by Aishwarya Raka, is redefining contemporary luxury through storytelling, craftsmanship and individuality. Known for its statement yet wearable aesthetic, the brand has dressed icons including Shabana Azmi, Manjari Fadnis and Meenakshi Seshadri. Its internationally recognised Mrs Asia USA ensemble earned widespread acclaim for blending fashion with powerful narrative-driven artistry. From couture and pageant wear to experimental western silhouettes, the label creates pieces that feel deeply personal and emotionally expressive. The Summer Essentials collection brings together breathable fabrics, fluid tailoring, upcycled denim, handcrafted textures, detachable accents and playful detailing. Designed in limited, no-repeat styles, each piece reflects effortless sophistication with a bold artistic identity.
5 . VAULT N3 — Curating Timeless Fashion with Love
What started as two sisters playing dress-up and holding onto their cherished outfits has now grown into VAULT N3 — a brand built on memories, emotion, and timeless fashion. Founded by Nithya and Nanditha Nandakishore, the label creates thoughtfully curated womenswear for those who love effortless yet elevated style. From soft, flowy holiday fits to statement occasion wear and easy everyday pieces, every collection is designed in limited editions, making each one feel special and personal. While Nithya brings her luxury fashion experience from Selfridges and Harrods, London, Nanditha adds a fresh creative perspective that gives the brand its dreamy identity. At its core, VAULT N3 is about tailoring apparel you don’t just wear once — but favourites you genuinely want to treasure for years.
