Of princess, pastel flowers and homegrown slow luxury brand, 'Akutee'

Akutee, a homegrown "slow luxury" brand, has unveiled its collection of hand-painted embellishments, mostly in pastel shades, on May 16 at the Four Seasons in Bengaluru. The brand, which focuses on hand-painted embellishments, was inspired by the gardens of the royal Ghatge family of Kolhapur. The brand's name, 'Akutee', is a nod to the Ghatge royal women's lineage and an ode to all the women in her family.
