Our Story
Padmanabhan’s journey began over 25 years ago with Timannya, a Mumbai boutique known for its premium, occasion wear and heavy handcrafted clothing. As the need for lighter, breathable, and more affordable fashion grew, Padmanabhan was launched as a softer, more accessible extension of the brand.
While retaining the essence of quality craftsmanship and timeless design, Padmanabhan introduced comfort clothing that is effortless, versatile, and suited for everyday wear — truly designed for life.
On its first anniversary, the brand expanded into antique home decor, curating unique vintage pieces that reflect heritage, artistry, and individuality. This marked its evolution from a fashion label into a complete lifestyle brand, connecting personal style with meaningful living spaces.
Today, Padmanabhan stands as a modern Indian fashion and lifestyle brand, offering breathable everyday wear, affordable luxury, and curated home pieces — all unified by a philosophy of comfort, timelessness, and conscious design.

Meet the founder
Purvi Alimchandani
Purvi Alimchandani, the creative force behind Padmanabhan, has spent over two decades immersing herself in the world of design. Her journey began with a boutique in Mumbai, driven by a passion to create clothing that resonates with women’s aspirations and experiences. For Purvi, fashion transcends mere trends; it’s about crafting pieces that embody comfort, confidence, and a sense of belonging, no matter where life’s journey takes you.
With Padmanabhan, she envisioned a brand that empowers women through thoughtfully designed garments. Each piece is conceived not just as an item of clothing, but as an experience, an invitation to embrace something timeless and deeply personal. At Padmanabhan, we believe that clothing should evolve with you, reflecting your individuality and enhancing your everyday life.
Purvi eloquently captures her philosophy: “Clothes that move with you, stay with you, grow with you. Designed for real women, with real lives, and timeless style. Padmanabhan is not about fashion. It’s about feeling at home in what you wear. Made slowly, lived in fully.”
We welcome you to explore Padmanabhan, not just as a brand, but as your companion on this beautiful journey where each piece awaits to tell your story.
