A State of Mind - ESTD. 2012
Grounded in craft, community, womanhood and storytelling. Lune is an independent female-run jewellery brand from Goa. Our pieces are woven together by the moods of the moon, beaches on rainy days and ocean born pearls. Demi-fine, contemporary jewellery that is forged by hand, made with heart.

It's hard to compartmentalise Mithu Sen's (@mithusen26) art. Her trajectory has featured drawing, sculpture installation, video, poetry and performance art. Her art—that explores themes of sexuality beyond gender, eroticism, sex and violence—may have shock value, but the idea is to encourage the viewer to challenge the status quo. The visceral works of Mithu Sen may either repel you or move you, but they'll always question you. We recently photographed the multifaceted artist at her studio in New Delhi, where she lives and works. Inspired by the artist, we present this feature in a new format as a photo story and an introduction by Sreesha Shetty, founder, Lune.
The Viper Moon family yearns to remind you of the magic of transformation. A union of the Viper necklace with a moon was inevitable—snakes and the moon have always been associated because of both their penchants for transformation. Snakes are known for how they shed old skin, the moon has been an eternal symbol of change because of how she cyclically waxes and wanes.

It's the most intimate of the arts where the body is the canvas. Primal, personal and precise not to mention permanent, tattooing is perhaps the true test of an artist. It's art that's born of a profound collaboration between artist and subject as we discover in a conversation with tattoo artist, Shyamli Panda (@shyamli) who speaks about her life, profession and what it takes to bring a design to life.
Our store/gallery space is situated in the quaint by-lanes of Bandra, Mumbai. Don't forget to look for the signs once on Chimbai Road.
