Wood is
Mother Nature’s bountiful blessing to mankind, and one that provides enormously
and ceaselessly to support an entire planet.
Since the beginning of time men and women from all around the world have accessorized themselves with hand crafted ornaments made out of flowers, shells, leaves and wood for traditional and religious ceremonies. It is only when the discovery of stones & metals happened that people forgot how jewellery was once upon a time crafted using organic elements. The moment you set your eyes on Rachana Reddy accessories, it is love at first sight with the predominant natural element -wood, that is used in her accessories. Her designs are simple, Indian, organic & handcrafted. It simply transports you to a surreal space where you feel close to Mother Nature & go back to your roots.
Nature being one of Rachana Reddy’s primary inspirations also means sustainability both in process and output. At the Rachana Reddy studio we make a conscious effort to use locally sourced and reclaimable wood in a responsible way. We love the distinctive connection natural materials bring when one adorns it on themselves. It is this connection that remains supreme in her style of work.
All of us at
Rachana Reddy undoubtedly admire and appreciate anything wooden! Be it
clutches, neck pieces, earrings, rings, boxes, texture & grain, and
primarily anything & everything wood. And of course even woody fragrances!
We aim to pass on our continued love for wood to our readers too. So if you're
not sure how and with what to carry your woodyliscious accessories, we have
created three ways to get you started.

Shoes: Diane Von Furstenberg Opal Wedge Sandal Rose Garden Leather, Lanvin Stacked Heel in Camel & Beige, Giusseppe Zanotti Design Open Pump.

Clutches, neck pieces and shoes are essential accessories no girl can do without! Keeping in mind these basic accessories we have created a look under each accessory category. The simplest and best way to team up wooden
accessories is to work around plain and structured garments. Clean cuts, color
blocking, solid colors, monochromatic and minimalistic garments work well as
they become a sort of canvas for these couture accessories, which are absolute
art pieces and conversation starters!
Shoes: There’s nothing quite sexy as a
pair of stunning stilettos and when the heels are made out of wood we literally
go gaga here at Rachana Reddy! Stand apart from the crowd in a pair of
gorgeous artsy wooden stilettos. Let the focus be on the shoes, throw on a
structured dress in a solid hue, minimal or no jewellery for a fuss free work
wear/formal look. We highly recommend Diane Von Furstenberg Opal Wedge Sandal's!
Clutches: As
the sun sets, say hello to understated metallic’s! For a formal dinner party
carry a stunning vintage wooden clutch with intricate ornate motifs, a feminine
sheer dress, elegant stilettos and delicate jewellery. Ornate Frame by Rachana Reddy is what we swear by for a classic - chic look.
Neck pieces:
Bring out your bohemian side by sporting a statement wooden neckpiece.
Palazzos, maxi dresses, long skirts, braids, bangles, bracelets, sandals and
all things bohemian & hippie undoubtedly will transform you into one. But
we at Rachana Reddy believe in simplicity! We will break down the bohemian look
and give you what we call the Boho - Chic look! Plain maxi dress in a solid
hue, strappy sandals, edgy jewellery (hand cuff) and complete the look by
wearing a statement wooden neck piece. Fringe Moon by Rachana Reddy is a must have to get the
look right!
