The story

CHANDRIMA was born from a fascination with what happens when craft moves beyond where it began. Across places, generations and cultures, techniques are passed on, influences cross paths and familiar traditions find new expressions. It is within this movement that CHANDRIMA finds its design language.

The founder

Founded in 2019 by Chandrima Agnihotri, the label brings together Indian craftsmanship and a distinctly global point of view to create contemporary luxury womenswear that feels expressive, feminine and relevant to today.

A graduate of the National Institute of Fashion Technology, Mumbai, Chandrima began her career with Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla before spending six formative years with Rohit Bal.

Her experience within some of India's most celebrated fashion houses shaped an instinctive understanding of craft, along with a desire to see it through a different lens.

At CHANDRIMA, craft is never treated as something static.

The craft

Traditional techniques meet unexpected references. Embroidery becomes a language of exploration. Ideas drawn from art, architecture, nature and cultures around the world are interpreted through the Indian hand, transforming the familiar into something entirely new.

Intricate cutwork, threadwork, beadwork, appliqué and sculptural surfaces come together with fluid, contemporary silhouettes to create pieces that balance detail with ease, romance with modernity, and heritage with a sense of discovery.

Each collection becomes a new chapter in this ongoing conversation—between where an idea comes from and what it can become.

Rooted in India. Inspired by the world. Reimagined by CHANDRIMA.
