Inside the first drop: why these 10 relics

Ten pieces, not fifty. A first drop should be a thesis you can read in one scroll: rings for the hands, chains for the throat, steel for the skin, darkness throughout.

The anchors: the Retro Cross in titanium for daily wear, the Bat Skull for statement nights. Every collection needs a quiet workhorse and a loud flagship — ours are priced ₹810 and ₹1,610 so both are reachable.

The flankers: clip-on nose rings and ear bridges for the piercing-curious, because India's alt scene is full of people who want the look without the needle or the parental conversation.

The outlier is the Lolita Lace — soft where everything else is hard. It proves the range: goth isn't one temperature. And it sells to buyers none of the steel would reach.

What's next depends on what moves. Bestsellers get siblings; slow pieces get retired. The crypt only stocks what the coven actually wears.
