Padmini and Sita come from a background of film and fitness and being childhood buddies then forayed into fashion with a strong intent to keep Indias traditions and culture alive . The name PadmaSitaa is symbolic of goddess Laxmi carrying a lotus. And now we take this brand a notch higher by collaborating with an Artist par excellence Bina Aziz and she plans to take this collaboration to a higher level with her artistic sensibilities through her art and her heart”.
