About us

Inspired by the ancient Indian philosophy of Panchtatva—the five essential elements of nature—5 Elements is a luxury brand specializing in women’s footwear and accessories. Each creation by 5 Elements harmonizes contemporary design with the richness of Indian craftsmanship, resulting in a unique blend of tradition and modernity.

Founded by Radhika Gupta, a proud alumna of the prestigious London College of Fashion and a member of the Fashion Design Council of India, 5 Elements has been setting benchmarks in the fashion industry since 2005. Radhika’s designs draw on her deep appreciation for Indian heritage and a modern aesthetic, bringing forward collections that are both vibrant and sophisticated.

Growing up surrounded by artisanal handicrafts, Radhika developed an early love for design. Her journey into fashion began when her beautifully crafted juttis gained popularity among leading brands in India. Inspired, she launched 5 Elements as an expression of her passion for Indian heritage. Her collections feature timeless Indian techniques, vibrant color palettes, and high-quality materials, making 5 Elements a celebrated name in ethnic footwear such as juttis, mules, and kolhapuris, alongside elegant accessories.

5 Elements by Radhika Gupta is more than just a brand; it’s a tribute to India’s craftsmanship, art, and cultural heritage, redefined for the modern woman who values authenticity, elegance, and a connection to her roots.
