Cupkin For Affordable Haathphools, Shoulder Dusters & Body Chains
Shortcut
Afghani Kitschen
It ain’t easy being broke in this material world. That’s why we got really excited when we heard of Cupkin. A Gurgaon-based endeavour, sisters-in-law Sonali and Soniya both left cushy jobs in HR and private catering to make and sell jewellery, and there’s been no looking back.
Apart from a hand-painted range of earrings and neckpieces, Afghani jewellery, coin necklaces, a tassel range, and a fusion of Kutch and Afghani neckpieces, they make beautiful haathphools {hand chains, for the uninitiated}, shoulder dusters, hair extensions, tiaras and body chains. They release new collections as and when inspiration strikes, and much like Pokemon, we suggest you catch ’em all.
Fact: All the jewellery is made by the duo themselves. They do source raw material from Bangalore, Rajasthan and even Afghanistan, though.
The Good Stuff
They’re super-open to customising, which means that you can pick up your one-of-a-kind design here, and that too, without leaving large holes in your pockets. In their own words, “Cupkin aspires to be a brand for women looking to buy the latest trends, without cleaning out their bank accounts.” Well, Amen to that.
Price: Starting at INR 150
