Story Behind Our Logo "The Lotus"

At the heart of our brand lies this sacred flower, which is born from the depths of the pond, yet rises unsoiled and radiant. The lotus, a timeless symbol of rebirth, renewal, and spiritual growth, inspires every piece that we curate as it embodies the essence of our philosophy: a promise to craft garments that not only adorn the body but also elevate the spirit.

Founder's Note

Essence by Monika is a reflection of my journey, a deep love for fabric, detail, and the quiet beauty of handcrafted work. For me, clothing is not just about what we wear, but how we feel in it.

Through every collection, I hope to create pieces that feel timeless yet personal, and that allow every wearer to find a bit of their own story woven within - Monika Arora
