Heritage Reimagined — The La Panache Journey

They say when the dots connect, amazing things happen — even the boldest leaps become possible.

At the heart of La Panache is Reena Badani, a woman entrepreneur driven by the belief that her journey can inspire millions around the world.

Our Inspiration — Rajasthan (Land of Kings)

For Reena Badani, a lifelong admirer of culture and craftsmanship, the defining moment came during her travels to Rajasthan, a northern Indian state celebrated for its vibrant heritage and breathtaking artistry. Mesmerized by the intricate inlay work, block prints, and marble craft, she was convinced these time-honored techniques deserved a global stage — a place where people who value artistry, culture, and meaning could truly appreciate them.

Starting in 2018 — The Singapore Chapter

In 2018, Reena Badani transformed this passion into a meaningful venture by founding La Panache in Singapore. The brand was built around the idea of offering a modern yet soulful way of living — blending South Asian heritage with contemporary design for homes that feel both timeless and personal. Rejecting the notion that India’s centuries-old craftsmanship was fading, she envisioned La Panache as a bridge between artisans and people who care deeply about art and quality.

Reinvented in 2021 — A New Chapter in California

When life brought Reena to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2021, La Panache was reinvented with renewed energy and purpose. This move gave her the opportunity to introduce South Asian artistry to a new audience while staying true to its roots. It marked the start of a new chapter — one that carries forward the original vision while embracing a global perspective, merging heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design sensibilities.

Today, La Panache is more than décor — it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, reinvention, and the beauty of home. For Reena, it’s also a way to keep traditions alive while inspiring others to find meaning in the details of everyday living.

Founder's Note

The idea for La Panache was born during a trip to Rajasthan, where I fell in love with the artistry and dedication of local craftspeople. Starting the brand in Singapore and relaunching it in California taught me that change is not the end — it’s a chance to create something even stronger. La Panache is for those who see the beauty and meaning in every detail. Thank you for being part of this journey — and for supporting a vision shaped by a woman who believes in the power of heritage and entrepreneurship.” - Reena Badani
