Tanushi Shah and Vidhi Dujodwala

They have currently designed products including sketching books, colour contrasting notebooks, mini books and paint by number/colouring books. Each page is conceptualised and handmade by them using sustainable, eco-friendly products. “There are many colouring books for adults but most have intricate designs and huge pages that many people may never be able to finish. These books are meant to calm you down,” Shah explains, claiming that their books are not only easy to follow but also have other interesting plots and storylines written by them that are clipped to each page. The sketching books have unique prompts — redesign the cover page of the book you recently read, for instance — to help the user overcome the artist’s blocks. “Since, it will only be the two of us designing and creating each of these books from scratch, the stock will be limited and exclusive. We will continue to sell until at least 150 of the 10 to 12 types of books that we’ve currently designed are sold. Then, we will move on to designing a fresh batch,” Dujodwala adds.

The duo have collaborated with women from a Parel-based NGO, Signature Foundation, who will use their weaving skills and creativity to handcraft the packaging of their books. “This is our way of giving back to the community,” they maintain.
