The Mumbai-based couture designers drew inspiration from the grandeur of Indian palaces, the collection also represents close to forty elements that are an ode to the rich Indian heritage. Each ensemble is a tribute to India’s cultural legacy—meticulously crafted by master artisans from our atelier and the skilled weavers. The ‘Rang Mahal’ collection was presented in collaboration with Swadesh, a brand that champions India's textile heritage and craftsmanship.
 

In a significant departure from their usual style, Falguni and Shane Peacock incorporated traditional Indian weaves and textiles for the first time. The collection also featured Chikankari, seamlessly blended with the designers' signature contemporary flair. The inclusion of a unique FSP monogram woven into the saree and dupatta borders added a modern twist to the traditional designs.

"Rang Mahal is more than just a collection; it is a homage to the artisans, the storytellers, and the custodians of our cultural legacy. Our collaboration with Swadesh brings forth the finest handwoven textiles, celebrating India's rich artisanal heritage," said Falguni Shane Peacock, citing media reports.
