12 Indian Brands That Are Nailing The Art Of Minimal Accessories

In all honesty, when someone says minimal accessories, Madiha Jaipur is the first brand that comes to our mind. And for a reason. They upcycle wooden scrap, brass, and work with Indian artisans (mostly women) to craft unconventional pieces. The brand crafts stunning jewellery that's geometry-inspired, Zodiac-themed, etc. Madiha Jaipur plays around with colours like blues, greys, and classic golden which makes it quite versatile. You can pick some Zodiac-inspired pieces (based on your sun sign) or explore what else we've got.

We've got a huge crush on every piece that Aarka creates. Spotted on Jacqueline Fernandes, Nauheed Cyrusi, Mallika Dua, this Hyderabad-based label is all about affordable handmade jewellery. The label drops collections regularly and we love that they've got floral pieces, hoops, chokers, pendants, and simple chains. Their jewellery is made from brass and coated with 18 carat gold. They make both work and play fun, and the best part? The jewellery is lightweight. But don't just take our word for it — go explore.

As if Klissaa isn't doing everything right with such beautiful designs, it's also affordable. This brand is making gold-plated brass jewellery that's every bit minimalistic and fresh. You'll spot charm bracelets, layered necklaces, evil-eye pendants, angel wing chains, and so much more. Honestly, we're just waiting to blow up our salary on this brand because we cannot take our eyes off them. If you're looking for finger rings, we recommend checking out Klissaa's collection as it's quite exhaustive and lovely. 

From Bollywood stars to a girl next door — Ornamaas has found a place in every girl's closet. Brooches and hairbands to bracelets and earrings, there's so much to gawk at. Three things worth checking out: Emerald Green Drop Earrings, Gold Plated Snake Chain Hairband, and Gold-Plated Rose Pendant Necklace. They also craft lovely crystal earrings that work best for those days when you're looking for a little more. 

While talking about minimal accessories, Moon Rabbit's bags are a must-have in our closet. This sustainable brand handcrafts its bags and accessories from vegan leather. From tote bags and handbags to luggage tags and sunglass pouches — they've got quite a lot for the organiser in you. We love their bucket tote bags (that come with buckles) and mini backpacks because they're super funky and functional. If you've been looking for simple card wallets in solid colours, we recommend checking out Moon Rabbit's collection. 

You know why we love Dhora? This label makes us feel both elegant and badass, and not many labels craft pieces that versatile. Founded by Aavriti Jain, this label's pieces are handcrafted by Indian artisans. The label seeks inspiration from Rajasthan and it reflects in the jewellery. Every bit old-world and yet edgy — whether you're wearing an oversized white shirt or a kurta, you can style Dhora's pieces with everything.

Are you looking for an ethnic footwear brand that crafts minimalistic footwear? Well, you've got to check out The Shoe Tales. Quirky, comfortable, and perfect for scoring that Instagram-worthy look — this brand handcrafts all its pieces. From Kolhapuri chappal and slides to heels and slip-ons, there's a lot to pick. We love that the brand doesn't shy away from bright colours like dark blues, neons, etc. So, if you're looking for wearing something extra to weddings and events but still look simple, you've got to check out this brand. 

Mitali Jain's jewellery spells elegance and opulence. But what's worth noting is the label doesn't burn a hole in our pockets. This Jaipur-based brand has some great pieces that can transform your work wear looks! And honestly, we haven't come across a label that crafts minimalistic looking chaandbaalis too. Got a thing for geometry-inspired jewellery? This label has plenty to load up on. Besides, their pendants and finger rings will bring you back for more. Don't forget to check out their Gold Crescent Moon Shaped chain (psst. they've got earrings and bracelets too in this collection). 

For those of you who swear by Kolhapuri chappal for comfort and simplicity, Leather Eyes is worth checking out. This brand is all about handcrafted pure leather footwear. Twinning with bae is a cakewalk because they make footwear for both men and women. We're loving this label's Black Buck Leather Kolhapuris and Handcrafted Mandala Design Leather Kolhapuris. This brand also has padukas and flats that are worth checking out. And the best part? You can shop for this brand on LBB. 

You know what makes Gusto awesome? It's a vegan leather brand and their bags can make a statement wherever you carry it. Popular with millennials and influencers, if you'd ask us, we'd urge you to check out these three bags for sure — Mat Weave Textured Square Bag, Geometric Woven Textured Half Moon Clutch, and Curved Opening Detail Solid Croc Effect Bag. Nobody does minimalistic accessories like Gusto, with gusto (sorry, we couldn't resist saying that), and it surely shows in their craft. Besides, if you're someone who loves to stick to blacks and tan browns, there's plenty for you to check out.
