Tagline : ART WITH A FUNCTION - Practical luxury with no hint of pretence.

Ikai by Ragini Ahuja was established in July 2012 with an aim to create incredibly practical clothing – with relaxed fits and natural textiles – that exude luxury with no hint of pretense. Traditional Indian techniques are used in the most non-traditional ways – fabric applique’s combined with sheep nappa leather and hand done shiboris. Oversized canvas-like silhouettes are adorned with authentic illustrations and animated details. An alumnus of National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi and Istituto Marangoni, Milan, Ahuja loves to create art with a function. She won the Shell Student Design Award (First Runner-Up) at World of WearableArt, New Zealand 2009 for her entry titled "Multi-plug", along with Rishabh Rhode. (WOW student award 2009) The label has also been awarded the most prestigious awards in the country and internationally:
