Petunia Designs - Founded by Somu Swapna in April 2012
Founded in April 2012, Petunia Designs is a premier saree design studio established by Ms. Somu Swapna, inspired by her profound appreciation for Indian artistry. Driven by her passion, she has curated an exceptional collection crafted by master artisans, where each saree embodies grace and elegance—the very essence of womanhood.

Select designs draw inspiration from celebrated artists, and we proudly acknowledge these influences, honoring the legacy behind each creative touch.
Somu Swapna - My Journey
Growing up in a coastal town in Andhra Pradesh, I always dreamed of blending my love for art, handicrafts, and apparel with a sustainable business. After my studies in Visakhapatnam and experience in the UK, I founded Petunia Designs to spotlight India’s incredible artisans, many of whom lack visibility in mainstream markets. My mission is to bring their unique craftsmanship to a global audience, ensuring quality and fair pricing. With a dedicated team, we focus on exceptional standards in design, manufacturing, and client experience, creating a world where artistry thrives and artisans are empowered.
Bringing Tradition to Life - A Collection of Art Forms and Styles
In response to evolving styles and market demand, we have expanded our collection to include a diverse range of products: sarees, blouses, dupattas, stoles, kurtis, pendants, clutches, and wall art. Our offerings now celebrate a variety of art forms, from traditional Pattachitra, Mural, and Gond to Batik, Bandhej, Kantha, Parsi, Kasuti, Nagi, and many more. Each piece reflects the rich heritage and craftsmanship of India, bringing timeless art into modern fashion and decor.
Honoring the Heart of Our Creations - Our Artists and Weavers
At PetuniaDesign, we proudly acknowledge that the backbone of our creations lies in the hands of our talented artists and weavers. Our ideas and designs come to life through their skill, dedication, and artistry. We are truly grateful to each and every one of them for their unwavering commitment and hard work, which gives life and soul to our brand. Without their craftsmanship, our vision would remain just that—a vision. Thank you for helping us turn dreams into reality.
What is PetuniaDesign's vision for the future.
At PetuniaDesign, our vision is to blend timeless craftsmanship with modern innovation, empowering artisans and promoting sustainability. We aim to create unique, creative designs in handmade fashion that honor tradition while ensuring heritage and artistry flourish on a global scale.
