Felix Bendish

Felix Bendish apparel and accessories are painstakingly handmade and hand embroidered from the designer's atelier in Mumbai. The product portfolio ranges from one-of-a- kind quirky accessories- classic weddings gowns and trousseau- evening wear and cocktail dresses. The brand is popular for its unique prints enhanced with couture handwork. 

Mumbai-based fashion designer Felix Bendish has been designing bespoke ensembles embellished with couture embroideries for a rarified clientele and his fashion accessories have the same level of craftsmanship through the use of quirky designs and hand embroidery. With a focus on handcrafted details.. the designer aims to give the fashion- conscious a new perspective by seamlessly blending traditional textile techniques with modern digital printing.

Per Fashion Scout: "Felix Bendish is known for creating illusions on clothing and accessories through the use of intricate embroideries, and is captivated by the art of creating mesmerising designs. The designer has a fondness for using luxurious fabrics like chamois silk, twills, velvet and georgette in their collections which allows for the clothing and accessories to fall gracefully and enhance the printed designs and embroideries."

Felix Bendish fashion accessories are great for making a bold statement. “As a brand we specialise in hand crafted accessories like neckpieces, brooches, belts and earrings all beautifully crafted in hand embroideries and nickel free metal. Our design sensibilities would be quirky and creative fashion,” he tells Not Just A Label.

How did he diversify from accessories to complete collections of handcrafted couture? He tells Explosive Fashion: "My signature style is intricate hand embroideries which I have always applied in accessories. Over the years, though, there has been an increasing client demand for hand embroidered apparel. This inspired me to take the leap of faith and I diversified from accessories to fashion design. My process is personal. I first create an embroidery concept and then transform it into a digital print. Because I love working on Illusions. That is the USP of my label."

Currently he is making headlines at London Fashion Week. “London is very bold and experimental in high street fashion. I see all genders wearing and enjoying fashion that we may never dream of wearing here in India. Londoners love breaking boundaries and creating their own unique styles. London celebrates fashion,” he tells Explosive Fashion and continues on his expansion plans. “We are now getting an opportunity to showcase our products to stores in the UK and Europe. We also have enquiries coming in from Japan. Challenges are there as I need to work on finances and logistics to avail of these opportunities.”

Felix Bendish creates handcrafted, bold and one- of- a- kind apparel and accessories for the love of fashion.

Felix Bendish's design philosophy is to experiment in creating and executing new ideas for his seasonal collections. As a fashion designer he strongly believes that it is his job to get something new on the table by creating new textures in fabric, embroideries, playing with season colors or something else altogether.
