COLLECTION STORY

Story I

THE LEOPARD AND THE LAKE

As they listen to the tales of the bard, laying amidst the cool breezes of the Pichola, wafting delicious odours from the myriad Lotus flowers, their eyes travel with the herons to a copper landscape soaked in sunset, to which not even its own inspirations can form an equal. The spotted big cat of the Aravallis glides through the ancient mountain range, and the parrots take flight over the Jag Mandir. Painting a canvas of unmitigated magic. A reflection of timeless beauty. That is a way of life in Mewar.

Ira launches its premier home line – ‘The leopard and the lake’, celebrating India’s storied heritage of exquisite craftsmanship through all of its objects. Techniques such as meenakari (enameling), lost wax casting, stone carving allow us to witness the transformative potential of craft in service to beauty.
