"My idea is to explore different artisanal techniques around India, and create simplistic, beautiful yet usable products. With the first collection - 42 Nutan - I have developed a range of digitally printed scarves, dipped in nostalgia, inspired by my childhood memories of the time I spent at my grandmother's house."

Design
Behind the collection
Parigna's tells about the inspiration for her first collection of 100% slik scarves - 42, Nutan: "The collection represents the emotions of a 5-year-old as she plays her days away at her grandmother's house. Walking down memory lane through every room and corridor, reminiscing. The white wall was never white. The red swing always meant more. Drawing from her nani's embroidery and put back together with Sol Lewitt's method, the prints are dipped in nostalgia and speak with a personal colour and texture."
