I first came to Rajasthan around 2012 and completely fell in love with the people, the way of life, and the colors... I've always had a fascination with heritage craft, and that first trip inspired a love of Indian textiles and embroideries.
After a string of return trips, Jones found that hints of those design sensibilities and meticulous attention to detail had trickled down into his own work-accessories in particular, in which he says 'the intricacy of maharaja style is reimagined into a modern graphic look.'
When I'm in Jaipur, I stay at Rambagh Palace, with its beautiful domed architecture. It was built in 1835 and served as the hunting lodge of the Maharaja of Jaipur-a real oasis within the city.
I always try to stop by the Gem Palace in Jaipur, a heritage store founded in 1852, which stocks the most gobstopping gemstones. My other must-visit is the women's craft market in Ranthambore.
