About

I’ve always believed that what we carry everyday says something about who we are. For me, it’s never been about owning something trendy but something that works quietly and well. After 16 years in global retail and consulting, that philosophy became hard to ignore. It led to Opaline — a brand built around bags and accessories that keep up with a full day, not just part of it. We design with intention: refined silhouettes, considered interiors and materials that are made to last. Every detail serves a purpose, from adjustable straps to structured compartments and full-grain leather that ages beautifully. Opaline stands for a balance between practicality and restraint, pieces that are refined but hold their ground. I’m here to share my journey of building Opaline from scratch while learning, refining and connecting with others who value design that works as well as it looks.

Founder

Jun 2024 – Present · 1 yr 11 mos · Mumbai · On-site

Building Opaline, a design-led handbags & acessories brand focused on considered interiors, refined silhouettes and everyday function.
After 15+ years in consulting and technology, I set out to build something tangible around a gap: bags that look good but don’t work hard enough.
That's how Opaline began. We launched our debut collection in September 2025, anchored by the 929 Work Tote.
