The Origin
A Dream Born
in Lockdown,
Lit by Love
"Her sense of color contrast was so ahead of its time that even her collection today feels contemporary."
In 2020, amid the stillness of a lockdown, Shrestha Shandilya and her mother Poonam were talking about their developing hometown of Banka, Bihar. Her mother's suggestion was simple and profound: start a boutique. She would look after it herself.
In 2021, Poonam passed — and Shrestha knew exactly what she had to do. Poonam's House of Fashion is not just a brand. It is a living, breathing tribute to a woman whose eye for beauty was her greatest gift to the world.
Shrestha brings to this legacy a premium corporate background across Colors TV, Sony Entertainment, and Times of India, a film career that touched the sets of Dharma Productions' Brahmastra, and a lifelong childhood dream to study at NIFT. Every stitch carries both their stories.
