what we do
To make every gift feel considered — designed around the person and the occasion, and finished with the care of something made only once.
our story
A studio for the considered gift
The Design Essentia is a gifting and packaging studio by Dipika Sethia. We design wedding trousseaux and favours, corporate gifts, festive hampers and keepsakes for the occasions that deserve more than a box and a bow — each one composed around its recipient, from the first sketch to the final ribbon.

where we are going
