Don’t let the deserts of Rajasthan fool you: with its majestic forts and palaces, and picturesque ranges covered in blankets of green and cloud-capped monuments, the Land of Kings is no less than a dream during monsoons.
Designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil Mehra understand this, and for their latest S&N by Shantnu Nikhil travel-luxe collection called Corbett, they turned to the monsoon safaris of Rajasthan for inspiration. The result is an assortment of safari-inspired shirts, jackets, corsets and skirts in muted tones of beige, military green, and tan, set in the backdrop of Raffles Udaipur. The collection is timeless, yet so contemporary, ensuring that you move with graceful ease wherever your voyage takes you. Notably, this collection also marks the debut of linens by Shantnu & Nikhil, adding a new dimension of comfort and sophistication.
And it’s not just about clothes. The collection also offers a curated range of accessories, ticking off all points in the luxe essentials checklist you would need for your adventure in the wild. Think bag packs, belts, scarves and wristlets, all inspired by the sophisticated yet wild essence of the Rajasthan safaris.
Mr. Rajesh Namby, General Manager, Raffles Udaipur, quips, “The Corbett Collection by the designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil Mehra, symbolises the spirit of Raffles Udaipur, showcasing their inventive vision that marries the aesthetics of this island property. Echoing the fine details of our iconic architecture, the manicured ornamental lush gardens, and the grandeur of Udai Sagar Lake, the duo has curated the collection that blends with the landscape of the 21-acre island. This collaboration showcases the athleisure, lifestyle, and luxury element which both brands stand tall for and we are ecstatic to have been able to cater to an elegantly curated collection shot at our country estate.”
Shantanu and Nikhil Mehra add, “The Corbett Travel-Luxe Collection is a tribute to the timeless beauty of India’s landscapes. By incorporating elements of vintage Indian travel and blending them with contemporary designs, we aimed to create pieces that not only reflect elegance and sophistication but also capture the adventurous spirit inherent in every traveller. The serene and opulent backdrop of Raffles Udaipur perfectly complements our vision, making this collaboration a remarkable journey through luxury and nature.”
