Notes from the atelier.

March 2026

On the colour of cream

We tested forty whites this winter — bone, parchment, eggshell, oat — before settling on the cream you'll find in our Spring N°01 canvas.

February 2026

A meadow, remembered

Lakshmi's grandmother kept a garden in Lucknow. The Wildflower Classic is, in a way, that garden — pulled through silk thread and hours of patience.

Why we work slowly

There is no shortcut to a hand-embroidered tote. We've tried. It just becomes a different bag, made by different hands, telling a different story.

Correspondence

Letters from the atelier,
arriving with the seasons.

Seasonal collections, atelier notes, and the occasional invitation. Never sold, never shared.

Élan.

Hand-embroidered floral tote bags, made slowly by a small atelier of artisans. Each piece is signed, numbered, and meant to be carried for a lifetime.

Carry what matters. Grow what inspires.
