Apala’s Royal Tribe Collection at IIJW’14

Apala, a jewellery label by Sumit Sawhney has showcased the Royal Tribe jewellery collection with Sunny Leone as showstopper at IIJW’14 (India International Jewellery Week 2014) on July 14, 2014. The collection is the fusion of royal and tribal elements. It draws inspiration from various regional settlements including use of weaves, bunching styles, haslis and choker necklaces, bold anklets and distinct arrangements of forms. Sumit Sawhney, founder of Apala, said, “it was an evolution where I fused the Tribal and the Royal styles and in doing so I created a tribe called ‘The Royal Tribe’.” He added, “I had worked with two contradictory roots, by using their distinctive characteristic traits to complement one another.”
