The warm tones of autumn leaves and pastel skies of the Lincolnshire Wolds (a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) was the backdrop of a fairy-tale that unfolds at Sanyukta’s own sanctuary, where the peace and serenity that surrounds the designer’s own home spurs on her creativity and inspiration.

All seasons passed by over the years but couldn't stop falling in love with the romanticism of Autumn. I waited until the end of October for leaves to be turning with shades of golden yellow and orange and to naturally fall, to capture the whole beauty of my collection, in which ‘Autumn’ itself is an inspiration.” -  Sanyukta Shrestha
