Let's say, you are at a party and notice another guest carrying the same luxury handbag as yours. It's an accessory that you have spent a whack of money on. "It is an awkward moment," chimes designer Kanika Ranka, 25. "Especially, when you are hoping to stand out." And, that's where her services come in. Founder of The Studio Project, Ranka dabbles in wearable art. Her job is to make bespoke fashion fun and personal.
Over the last three years, the Worli-based entrepreneur has customised bags for the fashion forward, including actor Sonam Kapoor, philanthropist Nita Ambani and YES bank founder Rana Kapoor's daughters Radha and Raakhee. The designs range from floral patterns, logos and comic characters to straight up monograms.
