From the Heart of Africa to the Wisdom of Ayurveda: Maruva x Sarita Handa starts a new Journey in Luxury Skincare & Wellness products
New Delhi: In an era where the pursuit of beauty increasingly aligns with the quest for sustainability, the Maruva x Sarita Handa partnership emerges as an authentic and pioneering collaboration that redefines luxury and wellness. This marks Sarita Handa’s first venture into the wellness space, joining forces with Maruva, a brand celebrated for its mastery of African botanical skincare. Together, they blend two rich traditions—African botanical wisdom and Ayurvedic skincare principles; to create a collection that embodies the ethos of simple, quiet luxury.
Maruva, founded by Geeta and Ashish Chaudhary, is renowned for its dedication to harnessing the natural potency of indigenous African plants. Maruva, which means “Bouquet of Flowers” in various African dialects, focuses on the skin-enhancing properties of plants like marula and baobab. These ingredients have been revered for centuries in African cultures for their remarkable benefits to skin health. Geeta Chaudhary, co-founder of Maruva, explains, “Our mission at Maruva is to empower artisans by creating opportunities that celebrate their craftsmanship while integrating sustainable practices. We believe that true luxury should uplift both people and the planet.”

This collaboration with Sarita Handa signifies a harmonious integration of Maruva’s botanical expertise with Sarita Handa’s design sensibility. Sarita Handa, known for her luxurious home decor and intricate designs, has always incorporated botanicals into her creations. This partnership brings together Sarita Handa’s signature fragrances and Maruva’s botanical richness, resulting in a collection that is both exclusive and opulent. The luxurious packaging of the curated products reflects the coming together of two homegrown brands and their shared vision.
Mrs. Sarita Handa reflects on this new venture, stating, “At Sarita Handa, our commitment to incorporating botanicals into our designs is deeply rooted in our passion for natural beauty and sustainable practices. Our collaboration with Maruva is a perfect example of coming together; combining our passion for textiles with Maruva’s exceptional wellness products. We’re thrilled to merge our expertise to offer an experience that enhances both your home and well-being. This partnership is not just about offering new products; it’s about creating a lifestyle experience that celebrates tradition, sustainability, and holistic well-being.”
The Maruva x Sarita Handa collection represents more than just a fusion of products; it is a celebration of shared values and a commitment to enhancing both personal and environmental wellness. By combining the rich heritage of African botanicals with the refined elegance of Ayurvedic skincare, this collaboration sets a new standard in the luxury wellness market. It highlights the power of women-led initiatives and the impact of integrating cultural heritage with modern, sustainable practices, offering a truly refined and meaningful approach to beauty and wellness.
