Aranyani Brings Forest-Inspired Experience With Its Leather Bags
Let us begin by telling you a popular folklore: It is said there was a deep desire of Lord Shiva and Parvathi to have a daughter. She was a gift to them from the Holi Kalpavriksha Tree. Aranyani has the distinction of owning one of the most descriptive hymns of the Rigveda dedicated to her, in which she is depicted as being the Queen of the Forest who is elusive, fond of quiet glades in the jungle, and fearless of remote stations.
ARANYANI, the brand, has taken inspiration from this story, and each bag design tells a different story of the various facets of the journey of ‘Aranyani’, the forest- queen. The collection has artisanal leather bags of hand-painted designs, which bring a unique forest-inspired experience to the discerning
global connoisseur of luxury goods. Each bag is a one-of-a-kind design masterpiece, unique and without repetition. NO more than one item per design is released, at any point, for each city, which makes each masterpiece unique from any other.
