Most of us were introduced to accessories through our mothers’ or grandmothers’ collections, and we’ve either admired, or worn a few striking pieces they own.
Accessories were once reserved for special occasions – but they are now worn to elevate everyday looks as well. One constant is that they were treasured back then, and continue to be so today.
They have long played a part in completing an ensemble and adding some spice to the overall style quotient. Seen on both leading ladies on the big screen & everyday women, they’re known to up the ante, whether western or traditional.
If you’re seeking glitzy clutches or statement adornments, here are 3 celebrity-approved pieces and labels to inspire your style and add the perfect finishing touches!
Oceana
Oceana’s collections combine the serenity of the ocean with the liveliness of the waves! Inspired by the playfulness of the sea, they include vibrant blues and greens, and carry the element in their personalised clutches. Founded by Rima Kapadia and Rashi Maniar, a dynamic sister-duo, the homegrown luxury brand believes in advocating for the local community and places sustainability at the heart of its operations.
Handbags have been a must-have to amp up your style and round off your look for a long time. Oceana’s creations have been adorned by many Bollywood A-listers on several occasions. Sonakshi Sinha was recently photographed wearing their Noor Emerald potli, combining three spectacular shades that add the perfect pop of colour to daytime fits! Waluscha De Sousa was also seen accessorising her ensemble with their Miniaudier Ivory clutch. The pearly white bite-sized clasp complements any western or traditional outfit while also accommodating all your essentials!

Amama
You can’t miss jewellery when talking about accessories. Endless generations, including the era of kings and queens, have worn it to complete their look.
Amama is a jewellery brand based in Delhi that specialises in statement items. It curates the best from around the world, attempting to evoke every emotion that comes to mind when you see or hear about jewellery.
Nikita Gupta, the label’s founder, named it after her grandmother, whom she affectionately refers to as “Amma” in Telugu. During the pandemic, the brand acquired prominence and has since been worn by a number of notable Bollywood celebrities, like Alia Bhatt, Rhea Kapoor, and Richa Chadha, to name a few.

Jutti Express
The significance of footwear in making or breaking an outfit is not unknown. Comfortable footwear has always been a blissful addition to any look, which is where Juttis comes to the rescue!
Juttis, which are widely available in northern India, have been a part of the ethnic wardrobe of most Indian women. They’ve made their way to the rest of the subcontinent and are available in a wide range of designs today!
Jutti Express offers a striking range of fine-quality comfortable leather Juttis inspired by India’s rich cultural heritage and handcrafted by the finest artisans and craftsmen. Established by Parul Suneja in 2016, the label had the vision to introduce age-old traditional Punjabi Juttis with a stylish and contemporary touch. The brand has adorned the feet of many women and celebrities, including B-Town’s ‘Poo’ – Kareena Kapoor Khan, and new-age star Sara Ali Khan.
