Tiana New York is a New York house founded by Anushree Gupta, with her sister Tara Gujral as creative director. The house makes handcrafted accessories built around its beaded bags, small jewel like evening shapes alongside coin purses, pouches and totes, with the stated aim of keeping ancient Indian handicraft techniques in use in a contemporary wardrobe. Mae Bridal carries a small edit of the line, available to order for the wedding day and the getting ready hours before it.
What makes Tiana New York bags different
Every piece is handmade in India by master craftsmen, using traditional beading methods alongside newer adaptations. Glass beads, crystals and pearls are hand set over natural fabric, built up into the close packed surfaces that are the signature of the house, dense enough to hold their shape and catch light from any angle. The house favors that refinement over mass efficiency, and the one espadrille in the line comes from the same artisanal hand as the bags.
The pieces
A Bolt of Lightning
A Bolt of Lightning is the one espadrille Mae Bridal carries from Tiana New York, finished in the same hand beading as the bags in a lightning bolt motif. It is available in US sizes 6 to 10. Shop A Bolt of Lightning, $140.
Magnolia
Magnolia sets dense pearl and crystal beadwork, hand worked over natural fabric by the same craftsmen behind every Tiana New York bag, into a compact evening shape. Shop the Magnolia, $170.
Bridgerton
Bridgerton is beaded in coffee toned pearls across its shape, the same density of beadwork that is the signature by which a Tiana New York piece is recognized. Shop the Bridgerton, $180.
