And Also India

Designing unique leather accessories for women.

And Also is a leather accessories brand based in Mumbai, India, providing fun and fashion forward body belts as well as bags driven by technology and innovation. I have had the opportunity to design two unique collections for this young brand that dares to push the boundaries of fashion and accessories.

Collection Note

This capsule collection of body belts and fashion jewelry was designed keeping in mind it's target audience: brave, sassy and ambitious millenials who aren't afraid of taking risks with their fashion and always want to have a good time! Using a balanced colour palette of classic neutrals as well stand-out jewel tones and adding pops of bright colour with hand enamelled flower buckles, adding details that ensure most of the belts can be worn in more than one way and choosing the best quality materials, I made sure that this collection would be both eye-catching, functional and a wardrobe must-have. The minimal and extremely easy-to-wear jewelry was designed keeping in mind the floral enamelled elements.

Collection Note

This collection of out-of-this world LED-lit bags was inspired by the starry night sky and was conceptualised and designed with an ambitious and technology driven vision of the future of fashion accessories. Marrying tech with style, the design of the bags from Give Me Space was kept minimal in order to let the LED lights be the hero element and literally shine through. The leather was laser cut with holes to represent constellations in the night sky and the LED circuit boards were custom designed to fit the patterns to perfection, all to create this head-turning accessory.

This collection of functional mini-bags were designed to help the wearer get as much as possible out of a single accessory. The bags, which come in three fun shapes, can be worn in three different ways: with a top handle, as a belt bag or as a cross-body sling. The collection aims to cater to a variety of tastes and styles, by using combinations of textured leathers, jewel and neutral tones and fun scalloped detailing.
