About the Brand:

Tanehra ~ By Akshi & Zeel
Soft Drama ~ Rooted Craft ~ clean lines ~ Flattering Silhouettes

Tanehra is a quiet ode to the modern Indian woman—graceful, grounded, and ever-evolving.

The name evokes a sense of tradition reimagined, where old-world charm meets contemporary ease.

At its heart, Tanehra by Akshi & Zeel is about feeling beautiful in your own skin— just pure expression through delicate details and refined comfort.

Tanehra is not just what you wear. It’s what you feel—rooted, radiant, and ready.

About Designer:

Sometimes Our clothes are our biggest body shamers. When we gain or lose weight, our clothing duly lets us know.

Our bodies are constantly evolving—and yet, our clothes are often the first to judge. In a world full of opinions, what we wear shouldn’t be one of them. Clothes should adapt, not restrict. They should celebrate us, make us feel fierce, confident, and effortlessly beautiful—at every size, every stage.

From Strangers to Co-Creators — A Journey Woven in Style

What began as a chance meeting between two strangers in college, driven by a shared dream to become fashion designers, soon transformed into a story of friendship, purpose, and creative partnership. Akshi and Zeel, united by their passion for design and a vision for something greater, transitioned from classmates to co-founders—building not only a strong bond, but also a meaningful brand together.

With a deep-rooted appreciation for Indian craftsmanship and a keen eye for modern aesthetics, they launched Tanehra—a label that harmoniously blends traditional silhouettes with contemporary sensibilities. Each Tanehra piece reflects timeless elegance infused with today’s evolving style language.

As their design journey matured, so did their brand. Akshi and Zeel introduced Tanehra Pretwear, a travel-friendly and summer-focused extension of their original line. With an emphasis on versatility, ease, and effortless style, Tanehra Pretwear offers thoughtfully designed looks perfect for every getaway, brunch, or sun-soaked afternoon.

From sketching ideas in classrooms to crafting a label that celebrates individuality and movement, Akshi and Zeel continue to design with heart, heritage, and a modern spirit—proving that fashion can be both rooted and revolutionary.
