Each season, we collaborate with artists from the country that inspires our collection, and they help to develop the designs that adorn our kits.
For the Spring 21 season, we are stoked to present a series of vivid prints designed by Chennai native textile artist Kashmira Baheti. The prints represent the natural beauty of the junglescape that surrounds her hometown as well as the vibrancy and joy of daily life.

I have a natural affinity towards fabrics and prints, since I have been a amateur seamstress since a very young age. I have become a textile designer only seven years back! I studied and trained to become an engineer and a product designer. I have enjoyed being that too!
- Kashmira

BEHIND THE PRINTJOY + POP CHAMPAKAThis floral pattern is based on a magnolia flower, or champaka — commonly known now as the joy magnolia and revered in Chennai, and around the world, for its incredible fragrance. According to Hinduism and Buddhism, sitting under a Magnolia Champaka tree is the place where one can reach enlightenment, while just a single champaka flower may be found in a South Indian home or ornamenting hair as a way to elevate the everyday with an uplifting scent.![]() |
