Having a sibling is like being born with a best friend

Indian festivals have always held a sparkle of joy, and yet none of them feels as special as Raksha Bandhan. If you grew up with a brother or sister or even had the pleasure of a rakhi sibling you’ll recognize the smile on your face from the memories.

This is the one day in a year when your annoying sibling is told just how much they mean to you. A celebration of memories – the ones before and the many to come, and with designer Anavila Mishra’s help, this might just be the best rakhi yet.

This Rakhi, Anavila makes it easier for brothers to pick the perfect gift for their sisters – a gorgeous handwoven sari curated through a short survey about your sister’s style and personality. And for the sisters struggling to find that understated, perfect rakhi for a sauve brother, Anavila’s collection of artisanal rakhis made from beautiful linen, organza, and silk fabrics are just what you’ve been looking for.

Make 2020, your most special Raksha Bandhan yet, after all, if this year has taught us anything it is that your bratty sibling gives the warmest, comfiest hugs.
