When the World Wears Puneet Gupta — 5 Celeb-Spotted Pieces Worth Having Now
There is a particular kind of validation that comes when your favourite actress carries a bag you've been eyeing, or when a face you admire wears something you've been thinking about. It's not about celebrity endorsement in the transactional sense — it's recognition. An acknowledgment that great craft travels, that Indian luxury belongs on international stages, and that what comes from Puneet Gupta Crafted Fine Goods deserves exactly the attention it's getting.
From Bollywood to the global fashion circuit, from minaudières that weigh 900 grams and carry centuries of craft, to clutches spotted on red carpets abroad — this edit covers five pieces currently being worn by some of the most recognised names in entertainment and fashion. Each one is available for you to own. Some are on sale. None will be restocked.
1. Crown Gold Beaded & Crystal Minaudière — ₹14,500
As worn by Elnaaz Norouzi | Color: Gold | 18×15×5 cm
The Crown Gold Beaded & Crystal Minaudière is the piece in this edit that asks the most of you — and gives the most back.
Weighing 900 grams, built in the shape of a crown with regal gold beads and crystal embellishments, this is not a bag you carry casually. It's a bag you bring to the occasions that deserve to be remembered — receptions, premieres, gala evenings, wedding nights. Worn by Elnaaz Norouzi, it does exactly what it promises: it makes the wearer look like royalty.
From the Whispers of Versallis collection, this minaudière represents the intersection of India's past and India's future — where culture meets couture, where centuries-old beadwork meets a silhouette that would be at home in any fashion capital. Every stitch, every bead, placed by a skilled artisan for hundreds of hours.
This is the most premium piece in this edit. At ₹14,500, it is still one of the most reasonably priced handcrafted minaudières of this calibre you will find anywhere.
Best carried to: Wedding receptions, galas, premieres, black-tie celebrations — any occasion that demands the exceptional.

2. Amber Royale Clutch — ₹4,450
As worn by Nadia Shahril Menon | Color: Brown | 16×11×5 cm
Nadia Shahril Menon has impeccable taste, and her choice of the Amber Royale Clutch proves it.
Crafted in soft padded satin with rich brown jewel prints, this clutch from the Gilded Folklore collection is the definition of understated glamour. Hand-decorated with Swarovski crystals and fine jewel embellishments, it shimmers subtly — never loud, always luminous. The warmth of the brown palette, the vintage opulence of the jewel prints, the softness of the padded satin — all of it adds up to a bag that feels effortlessly sophisticated.
This is the bag for someone who understands that restraint is its own kind of statement. It works with ivory, champagne, deep burgundy, and black with equal ease. It's light enough at 250 grams to carry through a long evening without effort.
Best carried to: Cocktail evenings, dinner parties, sangeet nights, gallery openings, or any occasion that calls for effortless sophistication.
3. Gau Noir Necklace — ₹4,950
As worn by Krithi Shetty | Color: Gold | 24 cm | 18K Gold Plated
This is the one piece in this edit that isn't a bag — and it might be the most conversation-starting of them all.
The Gau Noir Necklace, worn by South Indian actress Krithi Shetty, is a long necklace featuring alternating polished black beads and intricately cast cow-face (Gau) beads. Handcrafted in recycled metal and finished with 18K gold plating, the alternating rhythm of black and gold creates a striking visual pattern that is simultaneously ancient in its symbolism and entirely contemporary in its silhouette.
The cow motif in Indian culture carries meaning — divinity, auspiciousness, care, abundance. To render it in gold and wear it as a modern long necklace is a bold creative choice, and one that Puneet Gupta executes with complete conviction. This is described as a modern cultural artefact, and that feels exactly right.
At ₹4,950 for an 18K gold-plated, handcrafted piece made from recycled metal, it's also consciously made — beauty without hidden cost.
Best worn with: A simple white or black outfit where the necklace becomes the single statement. Also beautiful layered over a deep neckline or draped over traditional wear.
4. Tropical Tiger Queen Clutch — ₹4,450
As worn by Sadia Khateeb | Color: White & Blue | 19×19×5 cm
Actress Sadia Khateeb has an eye for pieces that hold their own — and the Tropical Tiger Queen Clutch does exactly that.
Handcrafted in striking white and blue satin, this Vanraaj collection clutch features a pair of tigers poised within a lush tropical forest. Zari and thread embroidery intertwine with glass bead accents to create depth and texture that echo the forest's layered mystery. The symmetry of the twin tigers, the lushness of the embroidered canopy, the shimmer of the glass bead highlights — it is a bag that rewards close attention.
At 19×19×5 cm and 330 grams, it's a structured, practical silhouette that holds its shape and holds your essentials. The white and blue palette is rare in Indian handcraft — it feels fresh, almost resort-like, and pairs beautifully with both Indian and Western evening wear.
Best carried to: Evening receptions, destination weddings, cocktail parties, or any occasion where you want a clutch that prompts conversation.

As worn by Janira Ider | Color: Black | 17×17×5 cm
The Makta Kari Beaded Embroidered Clutch is the piece in this edit currently on sale — and that makes it the one you should move on fastest.
Worn by international model and actress Janira Ider, this black clutch brings together the full vocabulary of traditional Indian embroidery — zardozi, dabka, sequins, and beadwork — with the grandeur of the Mughal era's finest craft traditions. Pearls, precious accents, and ornate zari detailing combine in a piece described as capturing the splendour of the royal era in every stitch.
At 350 grams and 17×17×5 cm, it sits in the hand with real presence. The black base means it travels across looks — evening gowns, formal sarees, embroidered lehengas, contemporary suits. Puneet Gupta calls it an heirloom piece, and when you hold it, you understand why. This is not a piece that dates. It is designed to transcend trends and time.
