"I was inspired by the Big Bang Theory because like the theory that talks about evolution and change, I wanted to change what I was doing and evolve into a designer," explains Meghna Chucking her job in advertising, Meghna plunged into the world of self employment with a range of bags initially and followed it up with canvas totes, magnets, coasters, clocks, hip flasks, laptop and iPad sleeves, wine gift bags and cushion covers with cheeky messages and graphics. Meghna uses stretchable rubber for gadget sleeves and tries to recycle bottles to make wine lamps.

According to the 31-year-old designer, The Big Bag Theory is all about flaunting your attitude through everyday essentials. "There are a lot of people who want to express their attitude and creativity but don't know how to go about it.

I just create accessories and help people express themselves through them," says Meghna. Another obsession of Meghna's, which you will see an ample evidence of on her products, is her fondness for all things related to alcohol.

Whether it is the Daaru Party Tote or an iPAD sleeve that says "I had too much last night!"or a wine bottle masquerading as a lamp, its all about being in high spirits for Meghna.

"It's also as much about food," she adds and points out to her range of canvas totes that talk about cooking with as well as drinking wine.

What makes products under The Big Bag Theory special according to Meghna is the fact that these accessories operate at two levels.
