Apron-clad participants flit in and out of the studio, pausing occasionally to peek at the monkeys who have laid siege to a fruit-laden tamarind tree, one of the many shading the premises of this 50-year-old studio.

It is here, in this true-blue Bengaluru institution, the oldest surviving block printing studio in the city, that the design behind durable drinkware brand Stanley 1913’s first-ever Deepavali collection was born. Marketed by the brand’s official retail partner in India, Bhaane Group, the Stanley 1913 x Nest Diwali Collection launched in India on November 3 with the 30 oz Quencher ProTour and the Stacking Cup Set, both available on the official Stanley 1913 India website or at a kiosk in Bengaluru’s Phoenix Mall of Asia. Globally, too, the design has made its way onto a range of leakproof products, including the 30 oz Quencher ProTour, 20 oz Flowstate Spring Bottle, 1 qt New Legend Vacuum Bottle, 16 oz Café-to-Go Mug and the Stacking Cup Set.

“For our first Diwali collection, we wanted to start with the rituals that make the festival so personal: welcoming family and friends, lighting lamps at home, and sharing food and gifts,” says YuNien Chang, the APAC general manager of Stanley 1913. He adds that by working with Padmini Govind (partner at Tharangini Studio and the daughter of its founder, Lakshmi Srivathsa) and her team, these traditions came alive in objects people use every day. The collection, which starts at ₹5,000, has two colourways, Deepa Rose and Deepa Brown Sugar, featuring a paisley pattern resembling a mango fruit leaf as well as henna motifs.

“Putting those patterns on a tumbler or a set of cups gives people another way to encounter that craft, whether they’re giving one as a Diwali gift or sharing chai long after the festival,” notes Chang.
