Ever grateful to @rheakapoor for trusting me with this vision and for giving me the opportunity to bring something so special to life for @aliaabhatt 🤍💙✨
This piece is a hand-painted homage to the French Riviera—inspired by its sunlit coastlines, soft lavender fields, native botanicals, and the effortless romance woven into its landscape. I wanted to capture not just its beauty, but its feeling—where land, sea, and sky melt into one poetic rhythm!
Each brushstroke reflects the Riviera’s timeless elegance, cinematic charm, and quiet sophistication. More than a landscape, this became my way of translating a place, an emotion, and a memory onto textile—transforming fabric into a wearable canvas 🧏🏻♀️

At the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, Alia Bhatt’s mint green gown turned heads across the world — but what truly made it special was its beautiful Gujarat connection.
The gown featured breathtaking hand-painted artwork by Ahmedabad artist Basuri Choksey, who brought flowers and nature to life with every brushstroke.
The delicate details gave the outfit a timeless charm and soulful elegance.
Reports say over 160 hours went into crafting the gown and its intricate artwork.
Known for her hand-painted textile art, Basuri sees fabric not just as fashion, but as a canvas for storytelling and emotion.
As the Cannes Film Festival continues till May 23, Alia’s graceful look is winning hearts online — with people celebrating not just her style, but also the passion, creativity, and brilliance of Indian artists on the global stage.

What was I seeking?
To quieten • To soften • To simply be— a pause from the noise we’ve normalised!
What followed?
Everything slowed down…
until presence took over!

Our first artist collaboration!
Meet Basuri Chokshi a mural artist whose work feels like it belongs in a dream. Soft, expressive, and full of quiet magic, her art transforms everyday surfaces into something deeply personal.
When her brush met our textiles, it felt like a match made in heaven. Our products became the canvas, and Basuri brought them to life.
Each piece is hand-painted by Basuri herself. That means when you place an order, it isn’t picked off a shelf, it’s created slowly and meticulously, painted by hand, carefully packaged, and then sent on its way to you.
