PATINE

PATINE, the heritage revivalist label, believes in merging artisanal heritage crafts with contemporary silhouette. Be it ready to wear, festive or bridal couture collections, its designs always have a feel of bohemian luxury. The PATINE collection has a distinct look for the style-conscious, discerning woman who are aware of the trends but do not rely on them.

With its festive and bridal wear taking days of hand work, each motif and pattern is extensively researched, refined and adapted for the modern women. PATINE's co-founder and creative director, Shon Randhawa, believes that fashion is an art form and each PATINE creation should aspire to be an heirloom. The collection is designed for the woman who demands and appreciates finely detailed garments that are both unique and luxurious.
