Following current trends and aesthetic sensibilities, Akiiko is a range of simple, clean and convenient products, founded and run by the Gutgutia family. Sharing love for Japanese design philosophies, family-founded Akiiko is a result of the discussions regarding the need for eco-friendly and good-quality bags. With products that look and do good, Akiiko is made with natural materials and has a unique texture and feel, while also being earth-friendly. Creating quality products that can be reused, without producing zero waste, the products have a minimal appeal to every product.

Moving forward with an eco-conscious mindset, the raw materials used are 99% plant-based and vegan. Cotton locally sourced from Southern India is used as the primary material in a wide range of utility products providing functionality and bringing in warm minimalism and simplicity into one’s everyday life.

Established during the pandemic, the collection focuses on simplifying one’s daily routine. The brand recognises the importance of thoughtfully curated products for a modern Indian family’s everyday lifestyle, whether it is a bread basket, a self-care kit, a journaling set or tote bags. A few standouts from Akiiko’s diverse collection include The Cloud Cubes, a plush terry fabric pouch, that presents as a cocoon for all your skincare and makeup essentials, the Noto weekly planner, a compact and practical find that can be used to tick off the daily checklists and Care In A Box, a hamper which includes all essentials and self-care items. With a clean outlook to each product they present, Akiiko hands over various choices while showcasing an eco-friendly perspective to life.
