Bengaluru’s Mitali Rannorey, who’s walked the ramp for names such as Manish Malhotra, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, Abraham and Thakore, and Shivan and Narresh, when not on the runway likes to keep it simple, clean and natural. Read on for her list of off-duty picks from eco-conscious labels across the world.
Pout perfect
The bubblegum scrub from Lush Cosmetics is made of sugar crystals and organic jojoba oil. It tastes so great on the lips. I just feel like eating it all up everytime I use it. Also, it leaves my lips feeling soft. Rs.530 approximately (for 25g) on uk.lush.com
Walk the linen
Brass Tacks Madras is a personal favourite of mine. I own a pair of trousers from the label and they are so light on the skin. This particular pair is retro-inspired and fashioned out of handwoven linen. Rs.1,000 on brasstacks.co.in
Cotton on
This handloom Bengal cotton dress by the brand Mati has a Chinese collar and button up front. I love the style and the way the dress falls on the body. Rs.9,950 on nete.in
Coat check
This jacket, made from a lightweight wool blend, by eco-conscious label, Reformation is super smart and would look great on anything. You can team it with a pair of jeans or even a sari. Rs.16,120 approximately on reformation.com
Ethically yours
I like this dress from Ethic Attic by Fair Connect as it is so fluid. The dress is crafted from fibre extracted from the stem of lotus plants. Rs.8,200. At Indira Nagar. Details: 41119294
Catch a tan
This pouch from the ethical label Behno uses soft, pebbled and ethically sourced leather. It is compact and can slip into my handbag or travel bag with ease. Rs.8,122 approximately on behno.com
Live in sin
I have dry skin so this particular product, the Peppermint Coffee Scrub Soap from Soap for Sinners is perfect. I’m so glad I had bumped into this store. I just bought a whole box full of soaps during a recent trip to New York. It is softening and has a fragrance that’s refreshing. Rs.525 approximately on soapforsinners.com
