Why Studio Rigu is worth it
Studio Rigu makes print-first matching sets, hand-painted and hand-finished in New Delhi, for anyone who dresses in color first.
Each print starts as an original hand-painted artwork, from spilled-ink blots to sketched florals, then goes onto relaxed, easy shapes: shirts with matching trousers, vests with wide pants, blazers with skirts. Hand embroidery, sequins and tie-dye add the handwork, the fabrics lean on breathable viscose linen, cupro and cotton, and everything is made to order rather than pulled from stock.

About Studio Rigu
Riya Gupta grew up in New Delhi and studied at London College of Fashion, where her graduate work reworked traditional Indian dyeing crafts like bandhani and shibori.
She named Studio Rigu after the first letters of her own name and built it around that meeting of craft and color: hand-painted prints, handwork by a small team of craftspeople and made-to-order co-ords meant to make everyday dressing feel joyful.
