This Indian Designer Paved her Way to a Famous Hollywood Series!

Over the years we’ve witnessed many famous Indian designers make their mark in Hollywood. From Alia Bhatt’s iconic Sabyasachi saree at the Met Ball to Gaurav Gupta’s recent enthralling runway collection - Across the Flame at the Spring/Summer Paris Couture 2025, many Indian designers are now conquering the West. 

Just like that, another inspiring Indian designer, Anjali Mehta Patel, stole the limelight in the fashion world after her boho-luxe resort wear was featured in the brand-new season of the popular television series, The White Lotus.

One of the most highly anticipated television series, The White Lotus, is back with another brand-new season. After its first and second seasons in Hawaii and Sicily, Mike White, the series' creator, takes us on an adventure in another mind-blowing location: Thailand. For those who have been living under a rock, The White Lotus is one of the most loved television series. It revolves around the exploits of the guests and staff who spend a week at a luxury resort hotel chain. 

The third season has a set of new faces, one of them is Patravadi Mejudhon, a veteran Thai actress who plays the role of Srilata Hollinger. In one of the episodes, she was spotted wearing an Indian brand - Verandah. 

Know more about Verandah

Verandah is a sustainable luxury travel clothing brand founded by Anjali Mehta Patel. Anjali, an ex-investment banker who founded this brand in 2011, transitioned from working as a full-time investment banker to finally pursuing her passion in fashion.

Anjali found a gap in the Indian market of designers, who focus on sustainable fashion and yet deliver exotic, comfy and chic designs. After years of extensive research and planning, she started Verandah, a clothing brand that specialises in resort wear, loungewear and boho luxe outfits.

In one of the interviews, Anjali mentioned she had a chance to work with the series back in 2022, but unfortunately, because of her frequent travels, she missed her chance. However, she received a call and was lucky enough to work with the White Lotus team in 2025. 

Now, Verandah has also opened two new boutiques in Lower Parel at the Sun Mill compound in Mumbai and another one in Goa at Nagoa in Apora.
