Sep 22: Littlebox’s latest collection explores the timeless appeal of checks, earthy tones and structured silhouettes through a contemporary lens. Drawing from the atmosphere of book-lined streets, old libraries and collegiate wardrobes, the collection brings together shades of brown, beige, olive and burgundy, with plaid taking centre stage across shirts, skirts, dresses and separates.
Rather than recreating academic dressing literally, the collection captures its attitude — the ease of a well-worn shirt, the structure of a tailored silhouette, the charm of a checked skirt and the effortless way layers come together. These references are translated into versatile pieces designed for the way young Indian women dress today.
Speaking about the collection, Rimjim Deka, Co-founder and CEO of Littlebox, shares:
“We wanted to explore the nostalgia associated with academic dressing, but reinterpret it in a way that feels natural to the young Indian woman today. Checks, earthy colours and structured silhouettes have a familiarity to them, but when styled together, they can feel completely fresh. For us, this collection is about taking those old-world references and making them part of a wardrobe that feels current, effortless and distinctly our own.”
The Fall/Plaid Collection also reflects Littlebox’s larger approach to fashion, identifying cultural and aesthetic shifts, understanding what resonates with its customers and translating global influences into pieces that feel relevant to India. With its mix of nostalgic references and contemporary silhouettes, the collection presents academia through an Indian lens, where old-world dressing meets the pace and personality of the modern wardrobe.
