Anandita is an independent designer from Mumbai and is extremely fond of aesthetics and philosophy. She pursued an accessory design program from the prestigious London Institute and a degree in economics and business management. Thereafter she conceptualised her label, ‘500 B.C.’, a handcrafted handbags and accessory designer brand.
500 B.C is a unique combination of the ancient and the modern. For the innovative bags and accessories, the designer draws great amount of inspiration from an era which talks about historical figures like ‘The Buddha’ and ‘Mahavira’.
Giving a close look to the collection, one realises the ethnicity and the modernity have been so consciously juxtaposed, that they can be used for multiple occasions. Gracing both the casual and the formal look, the accessories and the bags have been made with a combination of vibrant colours like magenta, turquoise blue, bright yellow, leafy green and many more. Also, the clutches are dominated with jute and leather as the label’s prominent fabrics.
Meanwhile, the brand’s earlier achievements count to being featured in acclaimed magazines like Vogue and Wmagazine and in the New York Times. Besides, the designer also lists among the accessory designer member of the Fashion Design Council of India.
She now successfully retails her collection through select boutiques in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai, and internationally in New York, Dubai and Saint Tropez.
