Meet Suhaani M. Bhel
Once upon a wardrobe… I dove into fashion at Pearl Academy, got my couture schooling under Niki Mahajan, and thought my life would be all front rows and fabric swatches. Cute, right? But my creative compass was already plotting a few plot twists.
Cut to 2012: I traded silks for sugar and flew off to Le Cordon Bleu, London. Enter Sugardust — my edible playground where cakes got couture makeovers, hampers went luxe, and fondant got a flair for drama. Weddings, baby showers, gifting wars — if it needed sugar and sparkle, I had it covered.
Fast-forward a decade (and a few sugar crashes later), and I’m back in fashion with my latest love child: Jungle Marigold. Think of it as my personal diary in technicolour — story-led, memory-driven, and stitched with a dash of wanderlust. Not trend-obsessed, but totally feel-good obsessed. Clothes that double as souvenirs from adventures you’ve taken (or the ones you wish you had) — splashed with birdsong, blooming marigolds, and jungle daydreams.
Here, prints aren’t just prints — they’re plot twists. Clothes aren’t just clothes — they’re chapters. Every piece wants to sneak into your suitcase, star in your memories, and live rent-free in your wardrobe.
And because I grew up inside a buzzing textile house, quality isn’t just a promise — it’s basically woven into my DNA. Translation: these pieces don’t just look good; they feel even better.
Still baking. Always creating. Jungle Marigold is my jungle, my marigold, my story — told one print, one mood, one memory at a time.

Niki Mahajan — a name that doesn’t just sit in fashion, it speaks in color.
Often described as synonymous with prints that tell stories, her work lives at the intersection of heritage and irreverence—where block prints aren’t just motifs, but memories in motion. With over four decades in the industry, she has consistently drawn from India’s rich craft vocabulary, reinterpreting it for a modern, global woman
She began young—at just 23—with no formal roadmap, no industry hand-holding. Just instinct, audacity, and a deep-rooted desire to create, not just for herself, but alongside the communities she believed in. What she lacked in convention, she made up for in conviction.
A recipient of the prestigious Yuv Ratan Award from the Ministry of Textiles, her journey has been closely woven with the revival and reimagination of Indian crafts—bringing age-old techniques into conversations that feel relevant, wearable, and alive.
They call her the Color Queen. The Print Maestra. And rightfully so. Because while trends come and go, her vision has always been a few seasons ahead—fearless, fluid, and unapologetically vibrant.
As the Creative Director for Jungle Marigold, her design language evolves into something deeply personal—hand-drawn, etched, and layered with narrative. Each piece feels like a keepsake, each print like a quiet rebellion against the ordinary.
Her clothes don’t just dress you. They remind you— to take up space, to wear joy loudly, and to never dilute your color
