Sunita recently created a teen line inspired from her daughter, Serena’s lifestyle, known as ‘Serena by Sunita Mukhi’ collection that launched in Urban Outfitters, London July 2104. The symbol of the Evil Eye has long been recognized as a sign of protection and good luck.

Sunita Mukhi has been invited to give interviews and talk about her passion worldwide and many of her works of art are in international publications today. She is showcased in the luxurious Landmark and Dorchester Hotels in London which are a huge pride to her but most importantly, she has had the honour of working with charities close to her heart and designing individual pieces for them to auction and raise money for very worthy causes and she would say that this is by far the best opportunity that has arisen from her work as it gives her a chance to give back. Sunita designs a bag for the annual Pink Ribbon Ball to raise funds for breast cancer research. This cause is very close to her heart as she lost her mother to breast cancer many years ago.
