Published: Volume 18, Issue 5, May, 2010

Verve haute picks for the month

HEART TO ART
Exotic woods, fine leathers, precious stones and sterling silver decorations are lavished on the newest innovations in optical technology, metallurgy, and laser engraving to produce a line of sunglasses worthy of the Chrome Hearts name every season. Sparkling.
Available at Shoppers Stop and all leading optical stores in India.
CHILL PILL
AnaayA’s wide variety of garments, bags, jewellery and soft furnishings in net and velvet are now in Delhi. Alongside racks of its latest collections nestles the AnaayA Café and a consulting studio, perfect for those long, lazy afternoons. Shopping over coffee, quite literally, just got easier.
At AnaayA, New Delhi. Tel: +91-11-46696117
SUMPTUOUS SCULPTURE
Glass artist Beth Lipman’s new collection for Steuben Glass is inspired by classic 17th century Dutch painting, and symbolises strength, grace, and the sparkling clarity of optimism. The mini-sculpture, if you can bear to part with it, is a thoughtful, whimsical gift
At The Right Address Boutique, New Delhi. Tel: +91-11-42593939
GREEN ZONE
Satyani’s creates timeless keepsakes of femininity with its jewels; uniquely imbued with primal mystery as well as purity and warmth. A cocktail ring, studded with baguettes and created with pure Zambian green emerald, is a classic that will stop hearts anywhere.
At Satyani’s Mumbai. Tel: +91-22-26553883
ORO-VILLE
Gold gets a facelift in a new range from an old name. ORO brings tradition to the cutting-edge with five collections of bangles that spell the last word in elegance. In Rhodium, Enamellieur, Engraving, Gold, and the Move collection, ORO moves from classic to exotic, and keeps it ravishing all along.
At leading jewellery stores across India.
BAG LUXE
It isn’t just about the power to write your own destiny: now you can put it in Montblanc’s beautiful new handbag and carry it around, too. This medium-sized beauty is tobacco coloured, with a jacquard lining and pale gold metal fittings. Beauteous.
At exclusive Montblanc boutiques across India.
SQUARE IS HIP
Audacious mixing and matching is the essential inspiration for the new Dsquared2 Eyewear collection, enlivened this year with extreme contrasts of form, size and style, in complete harmony with the philosophy of the Maison. A mix of old and new, luxury and basic, bold combinations and clean more sober lines leaves a lasting impression.
Available at Shoppers Stop, and all leading optical stores in India.
WISHING STARS
Nakshatra, Sanskrit for ‘constellation,’ defines these diamonds: a constellation of stars, symbolizing infinity, embodying the classic qualities of beauty, radiance, immortality and power. The Vivaah collection adds in some more dazzle for those big days, with exclusive handmade jewellery.
Available at Nakshatra Universe stores across India.
LA GRAND GLAZE
You can almost hear the notes of a Handel sonata pouring over the form of Rosenthal’s oldest crockery design, Form Sanssouci, which reflects the delicacy of Rococo period art. Its royal antecedents date from a time when grace went hand-in-hand with lightness, and good cheer with perfect serenity. Oh so baroque.
At the Rosenthal stores in Mumbai, Bangalore and New Delhi.
BLACK MAGIC
dunhill BLACK, Alfred Dunhill’s new fragrance, packages brazen masculinity into a gentlemanly structure of a subtle, stylish fragrance. Rich, warm and sexy, dunhill carries quintessential Englishness over to the Cool Britannia sensibility. Iconic, yet endlessly surprising and eminently desirable, it’s the perfume equivalent to James Bond’s sports car.
At leading lifestyle stores across India.
PRISTINE PLEASURE
Canali’s Spring-Summer collection is full of the soft, elegant results of a close eye on the lifestyle of the modern male, fine tailoring, and the Italian grandmasters’ 75-year experience. Informal separates, accessories and refreshing whites inject true cool into a hot summer’s day.
At the Canali stores at Hotel ITC Maurya, New Delhi and JW Marriott, Mumbai.
HAJOOMAL
That HAjoomal’s jewellery is eco-conscious only adds a dimension of fabulousness to their avant-garde couture jewellery. Their line this season includes uncommon materials sourced from unusual local resources around the world, and their recent resort line brings unakite, dendrite, pietersite and mother-of-pearl, among others, to the forefront of global summer trends.
Available at HAjoomal boutique at Palladium, Mumbai.
