BONNIE! Childhood Wears Tradition

For Fall-Winter 2025, péro invites children on a journey where tradition meets imagination with BONNIE!, a collection that blends the spirit of Scotland with the playful poetry of childhood.

Tartan, a timeless symbol of kinship and memory, becomes the heart of the collection — reimagined in soft patchworks, oversized shapes, and cozy layers. Each piece is brought to life by retro-inspired appliqués: hand-embroidered dolls, hens, flowers, and naïve motifs that feel as if they’ve stepped out of an illustrated storybook.

Styling amplifies this sense of play: oversized wigs, crowns of lettuce, vintage scooters, and farmyard friends transform the collection into a modern-day fairytale where fashion and fantasy collide.

Every fabric carries the soul of Indian craftsmanship — from Himachali wools to Maheshwari silks and Bengal cottons — woven together like tartan’s checks, connecting cultures through threads of heritage. The result is a collection that celebrates both craft and childhood joy.

BONNIE! for kids is more than a wardrobe — it’s a scrapbook of memories to wear, filled with color, texture, and imagination.

‘péro’ means ‘to wear’ in Marwari, the local language of Rajasthan. péro interprets international aesthetic using local material and skills, taking inspiration from what surrounds us, to make a product that connects with people, wherever in the world it is placed.

The Indian-ness of péro rests in the textile process, where materials pass through the hands of one craftsperson to the other, carrying forward the Indian tradition of hand-crafting and creating pieces that are at once unique. The resulting garment evokes some sense of culture from where it originates.

This culture communicates internationally in a way that the wearer looks equally at ease in the streets of Paris or London, as she does here, in India. The look is not about an age group or season, it is about a mindset, a willingness to incorporate the effortless style of the locals.

The label is launched by Aneeth Arora, a textile graduate from National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad and a fashion graduate from National Institute of Fashion Technology. She calls herself a ‘textile and dress maker’ and what fascinates and inspires her most is the clothing and dressing styles of the local people, which makes them so effortlessly stylish and trendy, therefore making them real trend-setters of our time.
