A Journey of Art and Family
When my brother shared his vision for My Canopy, it resonated with me in a way I didn’t expect. Living in Paris, immersed in acting and the arts, I had always been passionate about fashion and design. But this idea—to celebrate the craftsmanship and heritage of India—sparked something deeper.
The vibrant markets, intricate fabrics, and incredible artisans my brother met and shared stories about left me in awe. That’s when we decided to build My Canopy together—not just as a brand, but as a lifestyle that embraces artistry, family, and individuality.
I naturally gravitated toward curating the designs for our home décor collection. Every piece felt like a discovery—an opportunity to highlight the beauty of craftsmanship in a way that feels both modern and deeply rooted in tradition. Each choice felt like uncovering a connection, where the stories behind the fabrics and the artisans’ hands became part of something bigger. For me, it’s not about following trends but about finding authenticity and beauty in every piece.
What astonished me most was the sheer creativity woven into India’s heritage. The subtle weaves, bold patterns, and intricate techniques were unlike anything I had seen before. Each fabric felt like a canvas, waiting to be transformed into something meaningful and timeless. Working with these artisans and their incredible skills has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
My Canopy is more than just a collection—it’s a way to connect people to the beauty of craftsmanship and the warmth of family. This journey has been about translating that feeling into something tangible, something that resonates.It’s about celebrating the extraordinary in the everyday, the bonds we cherish, and the artistry that makes life feel more special.
From Hesitation to Inspiration: The Story Behind My Canopy
I never imagined that My Canopy would come to life. It all started when I moved to India—a decision I was hesitant about at first. But that hesitancy quickly faded. Over the next two years, I fell in love with the country. Its mountains, beaches, and jungles were breathtaking, but what truly left a mark on me were the people—their warmth, their stories, and their incredible craftsmanship.
As I traveled across India, I realized something: each region had its own fabrics, textures, and designs—each with a purpose, a story, and a connection to its environment. I couldn’t stop thinking about how beautiful these textiles were, not just in their appearance, but in the hands and hearts that made them. That’s when the idea of My Canopy began to take shape.
Coming from a creative family, I’ve always been drawn to design and aesthetics. But My Canopy isn’t just about selling beautiful things—it’s about creating a connection. Indian textiles are world-renowned for their quality and intricacy, but they are also practical, full of life, and deeply meaningful. These are the kinds of pieces that turn a house into a home.
What I also realized is that our spaces change with the seasons—light, mood, and even how we experience our homes shifts throughout the year. My Canopy is about offering something that grows with you—pieces that add warmth, color, and emotion to everyday life. So many interiors are dominated by whites, beiges, and greys, but I wanted to bring something different—designs that feel modern yet soulful, vibrant yet timeless.
Every item you’ll find at My Canopy has a story, a soul. It’s not just a product; it’s something that’s been made with care, intention, and the dedication of skilled hands. My hope is that when you bring it into your home, it helps you tell your own story, too.
