The artist
Anita TibrewalThe hands behind every hand.
She began thirty years ago with a cone and a neighbour's wedding. No signboard, no studio. The work spoke, and the work spread.
Today the same hands draw for the daughters of her first brides. AL-Henna is her family putting her name on the door she never asked for.
The hands behind the henna
Anita, and a team of 100+ women
For thirty years the bridal work has been Anita's own hands, one bride a day, composed once. Around her she has built a team of over a hundred women artists she has trained and mentored, so a single wedding or a five-hundred-guest event is drawn beautifully, on time, together.
It is work that puts income and craft into the hands of women, the quiet second thing every booking does.

Across India
One Kolkata hand, now a pan-India team.
What began with a single cone in Kolkata is today a team of over a hundred women. From bridal mornings to festival evenings, the artistry travels to the cities where our brides are.

The legacy
Thirty years, told in brides.
Most studios can show you a portfolio. Very few can show you the same family, twice, a generation apart.
0+
years, one artist, one cone
The first years
A cone, a neighbour's wedding, a Kolkata lane. No signboard and no studio. The bride told a cousin, the cousin told a friend.
The decades between
Festival mornings, wedding weeks, whole households of hands. The calendar filled by word of mouth alone, and it stayed full.
Today
Brides whose mothers she drew for now sit in the same chair. Their daughters will too.
The design library
1,338 designs, gathered.
Wander until one feels like yours, or bring an idea nobody has drawn yet. Either way it is drawn fresh, for your hands only.
Full hands and feet for the wedding morning. The grand compositions.
The craft standard
What three decades taught
Original patterns, drawn for you
No stencils, no repeats. Your mehendi is composed on your hands, for your day.
Natural henna, always
Pure, skin-safe cones. Deep colour the traditional way, never chemical shortcuts.
On time for the ceremony
Thirty years of wedding mornings. The artist has never met a muhurat she missed.
