Chennai, India – September 2, 2026 – The very essence of home, often described as a sanctuary of comfort and personal expression, is being redefined by Aneeth Arora, the visionary founder of the acclaimed fashion brand Péro. Moving beyond the realm of apparel, Arora has seamlessly translated Péro’s signature aesthetic into a captivating home collection, marking not a departure, but a profound and natural evolution of her storytelling through textiles. This expansion into interior design is set to captivate discerning audiences with its blend of whimsical charm, artisanal craftsmanship, and a deep respect for heritage.
From September 3rd to 6th, Péro Home will grace The Folly at Amethyst in Chennai, transforming the space into an immersive experience of tactile delight and visual storytelling. The collection showcases the brand’s distinctive visual language, characterized by delicate floral appliqués in soft pastels, vibrant checks in fiery reds and sunny yellows, intricate threadwork, charming hand-drawn illustrations, and the nostalgic touch of vintage buttons. These elements are meticulously woven into a diverse range of home furnishings, including cushion covers, curtains, carpets, quilts, blankets, table runners, and napkins, each piece an invitation to infuse living spaces with Péro’s unique brand of joy and individuality.
From Fashion to Foundation: The Genesis of Péro Home
Aneeth Arora’s journey into home decor is not a sudden pivot, but rather a deeply ingrained extension of her creative philosophy. For years, Péro has been synonymous with crafting experiences and weaving narratives through its garments. The transition to home furnishings, therefore, felt like an organic progression. "What is home, if not a place for comfort, with a little whimsy sprinkled in?" Arora muses, encapsulating the core sentiment behind the Péro Home collection.
The genesis of the Péro Home line can be traced back to 2020. Arora recognized that the same design ethos, the same passion for craftsmanship, and the same narrative-driven approach that defined Péro’s fashion collections could be beautifully applied to create environments that resonate with warmth and personality. "We have been creating experiences through our presentations, whether it is the storytelling for a fashion season, or when we have events during our launches," Arora explains. "We began working on the Péro home line in 2020, with a design language and approach that isn’t very different from what we do in fashion."
A Tapestry of Heritage: Drawing from Two Decades of Inspiration
A significant source of inspiration for the Péro Home collection lies within the brand’s extensive archives, spanning nearly two decades and numerous fashion seasons. Arora delved into this rich repository, unearthing a treasure trove of textiles that have defined Péro’s aesthetic journey. This included the exquisite Chanderi and Maheshwari cottons, the understated elegance of linens, the captivating allure of mashru stripes, the intricate weaves of jamdani brocades, and the rustic charm of gamcha checks.
"One advantage of working with archive textiles is that the fabrics have already been developed for a certain season and they are developed within a colour theme," Arora reveals. "So it becomes effortless to mix those textiles in creating a home range." This thoughtful curation allows each Péro Home piece to carry a legacy, a whisper of past collections, and a testament to the enduring quality of Péro’s fabric choices.
The Chennai showcase will feature pieces drawing from at least five different seasons, offering a diverse palette that reflects Péro’s evolution. "In Chennai, you can see pieces from at least five different seasons; and a variety of colour palettes given how there are some seasons which were very pastel, but some that were bright and colourful," she adds, highlighting the collection’s chromatic breadth.
The Art of Kantha: A Labor of Love and Legacy
Among the most cherished elements of the Péro Home collection are the pieces adorned with intricate kantha embroidery. This traditional Indian embroidery technique, known for its meticulous stitchwork and storytelling capabilities, holds a special place in Arora’s heart. The creation of these pieces is a testament to patience and dedication, often involving thousands of individual stitches.
"This threadwork takes immensely long to shape, and some of them bring together archival textiles, adorned with thousands of kantha stitches," Arora shares, her voice resonating with admiration for the artisans. "Every time I look at them, I am reminded of how they have taken their own time to come to life. That to me, is what makes them beautiful." This emphasis on time, craftsmanship, and the inherent beauty of handcrafted imperfections aligns perfectly with Péro’s philosophy of creating pieces that are not just decorative, but imbued with soul and history.
The Péro Signature: Love, Whimsy, and Tactile Experiences
Since its inception in 2009, the heart motif has been an indelible symbol of Péro, appearing subtly or prominently on its garments. This emblem of love and affection has naturally permeated the Péro Home collection, symbolizing the warmth and care that goes into creating these pieces. "Over the last 17 years, Péro has kind of become synonymous with love; whether through the heart motif or the love we keep pouring into what we make, and the love we keep getting from people," Arora reflects.
Beyond aesthetics, Arora emphasizes the importance of a tactile experience, a cornerstone of Péro’s design philosophy that extends to its home collection. "I believe it is very crucial that textiles are touched and felt, and a showcase like the one in Chennai will encompass this," she states, inviting visitors to engage with the textures and craftsmanship firsthand.
The Péro Home collection is designed to resonate with a wide spectrum of interior design preferences. Arora believes that the brand’s diverse color palettes can cater to both minimalist and maximalist sensibilities. "We have a range that has whites and beiges which I have seen used very subtly in spaces, and there is a strong contrast where the more flamboyant lines inhabit spaces that celebrate colour and maximalism," she explains. This versatility ensures that Péro Home pieces can seamlessly integrate into existing decor or serve as statement pieces that define a room’s character.
An Invitation to Connect and Converse
Arora’s vision for Péro Home extends beyond mere material comfort; she aims to foster a sense of connection and conversation within the home. "While I hope these pieces evoke love and warmth, I also think conversations are what make the environment at home comfortable; something I hope the home collection initiates," she shares. The collection, with its inherent storytelling and whimsical elements, is designed to be a catalyst for shared experiences and meaningful dialogue.
Pricing and Accessibility: An Aspirational Extension
In line with Péro’s established position in the fashion industry, the Péro Home collection occupies an aspirational price point, reflecting the quality of materials, the intricacy of craftsmanship, and the unique design narrative. Pieces in the collection start upwards of ₹15,000, positioning them as investment pieces for those who appreciate artisanal quality and distinctive design.
