Rather than remain in her birth country of India, Bhavna resolved to expand her unique offering across the globe to Tampa, Florida. “When I moved to the United States in 2020 with my husband and children, many thought it was a mistake. Still, I wanted to empower my two daughters, to show them that everything is possible if you dare to dream and work to achieve it. Within a few short years, my own dreams were coming true with MISSY, my first hair accessories brand. My career as an entrepreneur in my adopted home was no mistake, and so I decided to grow again with a vision to blend my two homes. Inspired by my favorite muse, India, I imagined an extension of my design work and an elevation of the traditions and craftsmanship by my team of Indian artisans.”
The Bhavna Kanakia boutique debut collection is a new line of luxury fashion accessories handcrafted with the highest quality semi-precious stones sourced from the state of Gujarat where Bhavna also calls ‘home.’ “The lotus, found in my logo, is an extension of my soul. Not only the national flower of India, the lotus connects me to the place I was born, the country who works magic with her hands. This is the magic I wish to bring to you with a collection bearing my heart and my name.”
