Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but handbags come a close second!

And the ladies were certainly hooked with the ones they saw on the ramp today by Rachana Reddy and Prabhat Kumar.

We bring you a quick glimpse at the two lines.

Rachana's leather and wooden clutches were distinctly formal and feminine. Her 'Global Gypsy' collection was replete with intricate symbols, colours and motifs inspired by tribal art forms around the world, like this oyster beauty held by Candice Pinto.
