Bangalore-based artist and potter Ambica Shankar makes really gorgeous glazed ceramic crockery. Think mugs, tumblers, serving bowls and dishes, and even one-of-a-kind dinner plates. She also does planters and vases. The potter stays far away from the usual floral designs, and instead focuses on a lot of textures and abstract designs.
Price: Starting at INR 200

Slinky sling backs, elegant wedges, casual sliders, and leather sneakers; Drish’s leather shoes for women are stunners. So is their range of basic belts, bracelets, wallets, and handbags including styles such as the bucket, tote, slings and backpacks, all fashioned out of leather.
Men can pick from their range of casual loafers in eye-popping colours and formal dress shoes with interesting details. There’s also smart overnighters, laptop bags, passport holders, belts, and wallets. We also love the fact that they have a rather cute shoe collection for kids, too, including really simple black Mary Janes {remember the Bata ones?} for school girls, and sneakers, loafers, and boots for little boys.
