MEET THE FOUNDER

Her vision for House of Badnore is to recreate vintage elements for modern audiences, offering timeless accessories that blend time and boundaries.
"Past is a place of reference and vintage, a point of inspiration. New world requires a new language. For vintage to remain relevant, it must be redefined and rearranged with modern voices and choices.”

OUR STORY
House of Badnore emerged from our founder’s fascination with the elegance, rituals, and design language of another time. Rooted in nostalgia yet guided by contemporary sensibilities, the brand reimagines heritage for modern living.
Each creation is shaped by a dialogue between past and present, where objects inspired by yesteryears find effortless relevance in today’s homes and wardrobes. House of Badnore designs are not merely accessories, but thoughtful accents that complement both home and attire, carrying forward a quiet legacy of timeless style.
OUR LEGACY
The brand draws its name from Badnore, (pronounced bud - naur), an erstwhile principality of Mewar in Rajasthan India, gently cradled amidst the Aravalli ranges, cocooned in a time wrap. Seen now, it is quiet and untouched by the sweeps of modern vagaries but the past is palpable in the lay of the land. Badnore, left its very own footprints in the pages of history to be revisited with pride, since the time when battles were a way of life and meant for accomplishing honour; since when excellence was the hallmark of every endeavour and since when “Do or die” was the only sustenance to keep the fire of the swords and spirits.
Our Inspiration
House of Badnore’s inspiration is deeply anchored in the past: a world where every object, motif, and detail carried meaning. We look to histories shaped by ceremony, refinement, and a meaningful appreciation for beauty. From the opulent courts of Indian royalty to the refined elegance of European aristocracy, our designs draw from a rich tapestry of cultural and aesthetic influences.
It is within these layered narratives of heritage, craftsmanship, and timeless style that House of Badnore finds its creative language.
Our Design
At House of Badnore, design is an exercise in reinterpretation, where echoes of the past find expression in contemporary form. Motifs drawn from the hunt and the royal game of polo lend character to our pocket squares, while photo frames borrow from the symmetry and elegance of Victorian and Art Deco influences. Shawls carry forward the glamour of another era, and jewelled buttons and cufflinks reflect the language of refined dressing.
With every creation, we seek to weave a subtle trace of history into modern style.
Our Process
At the heart of House of Badnore lies an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and quality. We believe true luxury resides in the details, which is why each piece is meticulously crafted, often by hand, using the finest materials sourced from across India.
We are proud to collaborate with master artisans and local craftsmen, bringing the richness of Indian craftsmanship to a global platform. Guided by a philosophy of responsible creation, we champion fair practices and consciously work with sustainable materials, including vegan leather, across select designs.
