The Story
“Varnam means 'colour' in Tamil. The saffron dial draws from kumkum powder — the deep orange-red used in Tamil Nadu temple rituals, ground from turmeric and slaked lime.
Coromandel's debut collection sold out within weeks of launch. The Varnam draws its palette directly from South Indian ritual life — each colourway named after a pigment used in Tamil Nadu's temple and festival traditions. The saffron edition, coloured after kumkum powder, was the first to go.
