CREATOR OF LUXE

Meera Mahadevia

Often referred to as Indian design’s best kept secret, Meera Mahadevia has, for the past 32 years been creating some of the most innovative, handcrafted luxury handbags. She’s had clients ranging from Elizabeth Hurley to Freida Pinto sporting her bags. Mahadevia is unafraid of using unusual materials including marble, wooden, precious and semi-precious stones and silver engravings on her handbags. Anything but leather, which the designer believes is jarring in combination with Indian textiles. Mahadevia who has tied up with Anthropolgie, has exhibited at Newark Museum in New Jersey as well as the Asian Civilisation Museum in Singapore, has continued to root her work in the Indian aesthetic.
