Arpita Mehta Opens Flagship in Kolkata with Regal Festive Edit ‘Ranibagh’
Designer Arpita Mehta, renowned for her signature mirrorwork, vibrant palettes, and intricate embroidery, has officially launched her first Kolkata flagship store today. The label arrives in the City of Joy with its latest festive collection, Ranibagh, a celebration of bridal grandeur and heritage-inspired opulence.
A Bride as Queen
“Every collection begins with a feeling—of a woman, her world, and what it means for her to be truly seen and celebrated,” Arpita says. Ranibagh imagines a realm where the bride is enthroned, with garments that crown her individuality, elegance, and quiet power. The collection explores the intersection of heritage and modernity, creating silhouettes that feel regal yet contemporary.
Craft and Palette
Ranibagh is a tribute to India’s rich textile legacy, featuring:
-
Mirrorwork lehengas that scatter light like ancient constellations
-
Katdana, kasab embroidery, and bandhani blooms
-
Jaal-embroidered dupattas evoking carved sandstone filigree
The color palette is a symphony of moods, spanning corals, pastels, golds, pinks, scarlet red, and olive green, balancing festive opulence with refined restraint.
Bridal Inspirations and Trends
Arpita notes that reds continue to dominate bridal wear, with evolving shades keeping the palette classic yet fresh. She cites Sonam Kapoor as a style icon for brides and expresses her desire to dress Ananya Panday in the future. Essential wardrobe pieces for the season include a red sari, a gold mirrorwork jacket, and fusion outfits in fondant brown.
Kolkata Launch and Future Plans
Speaking about her first store in the eastern region, Arpita shares, “I’m thrilled to enter a market where audiences are deeply rooted in culture with a strong sense of fashion and aesthetic.” She also teases an upcoming international collaboration, signaling exciting expansions for her label.
