Jaipur Modern

Opened in January 2014, Jaipur Modern is the labor of love of Yash Agarwal and Maximiliano Modesti who have melded an Italian sensibility with Indian artisans to champion “modern Indian craftsmanship.” The owners work with numerous producers in India, including well known brands such as Rashmi Varma and Rajesh Pratap Singh, to create products with a more western twist. The linens and pillows, for instance, have a more abstract design and contemporary color palette. Cotton blouses and dresses are cut in a more avant-garde style. While this is their only boutique, many of their designs have been picked up by Western buyers and can now be found in hip shops in Brazil, Germany and France.
