The Delhi-based label Graine, founded by sisters Mannat Sethi and Harshna Kandhari, isn’t new to the game. You’ve seen them on the Lakmé Gen Next 2020 runway, at Helsinki Fashion Week 2019, on Vogue Italia Talents, Elle Graduates, and Grazia Young Fashion Awards. And siblings working together? We love it. Harshna brings the math; Mannat brings the mood. Together, they meet somewhere in the middle, where instinct flirts with precision.
For Fall 2025, the duo turns their gaze inward, towards the small, unremarkable moments that make up a day: background noise, half-finished thoughts, that low hum of being. Their new collection, Indistinct Chatter, is exactly that—an ode to quiet sound.
Chikankari and badla sit beside repurposed rubber, oxidised metal, and crumpled satin. Textures that feel worn, lived-in, a little imperfect (in the best way). The palette runs from sand and raven black to oxidised gold, denim blue, stained red, and dill green. Perfect for the festive season. While surfaces are washed, oxidised, distressed. Satin looks like it’s seen things.
Because Graine’s woman: the “consciously eclectic” one, has always lived in that in-between. She’s the type to wear gota on a pleated skirt, to pair heirloom embroidery with sneakers, to find her rhythm in contradiction.
