In an age where goods are machine-made and mass-produced, anything that is handcrafted and exclusive always feels like a breath of fresh air. Handmade is always unique and appreciated by anyone with a discerning taste. Today we are in conversation with Anshuman Singh, Founder, and CEO of Paul Adams bags and accessories, which share his thought and inspiration to bring together local artists from across the country to create bespoke yet sustainable bag pieces that are art inspirational that express their individuality through their style & fashion.
What inspired you to merge Art with Fashion?
I have always been a great follower and lover of art and have often bought art from artists to support their livelihoods. During this time, I observed that these immensely talented artists were not getting their due and were grossly underpaid. It was then that I hit upon the idea of merging art with fashion. This was the genesis of Paul Adams where we hire street artists and use their paintings on our bags while compensating them with the price they deserve for their work.
Tell us something about your storytellers/artists?
Our artists are the heart, soul, and storytellers of Paul Adams and help us create exceptional works of original art that we present to you. Being an art lover, I celebrate the fact that we have so much local talent to explore and encourage. It is an endeavor to make art an intrinsic part of people’s lives and their wardrobes. I want India’s canvas to move from the walls and travel the world, freely, with you – with the belief that it will add to the story of your life, every day!
What do you think of Paul Adams bag’s style?
The style for me knows who I am and what I want to say. According to me, a bag is a perfect accessory to one’s ensemble and reflects a lot about the individual’s personality. Today, men and women want accessories, which are functional, stylish, and versatile.
