Akutee, a homegrown "slow luxury" brand, has unveiled its collection of hand-painted embellishments, mostly in pastel shades, on May 16 at the Four Seasons in Bengaluru. The brand, which focuses on hand-painted embellishments, was inspired by the gardens of the royal Ghatge family of Kolhapur. The brand s name, Akutee , is a nod to the Ghatge royal women s lineage and an ode to all the women in her family.
My mother was really into gardening and often flowers that bloom in our garden find their way into our clothes as hand-painted motifs, said Ghatge.Passion was one thing, but business was an entirely different ball game, agreed Ghatge.
