At the high-octane WPL 2026 auction in Delhi, Nita Ambani arrived with a rare Hermès Birkin/Bijoux bag customised with gem-encrusted “AKPV” charms, representing her four grandchildren. Crafted with Brazilian Paraiba tourmalines, diamonds and 18k gold, the personalised piece went viral, eclipsing even the crores spent on players.

The Women’s Premier League 2026 auction may have been about blockbuster bids and fierce franchise strategies, but Nita Ambani’s luxury arm candy quietly ran its own parallel headline. Walking in with Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur, the franchise co-owner turned heads with a rare Hermès bag adorned with dazzling “AKPV” initials, instantly becoming social media’s favourite talking point from the event.

Fashion watchers quickly zoomed into the detail: four large, gem-studded charms arranged as A‑K‑P‑V, mounted on the front of the iconic Hermès handbag. Far from being random letters, they form an intimate family code that reveals the Ambani matriarch’s sentimental side.

Key Highlights

Personal Tribute In Luxury Form

AKPV represents her four grandchildren: Aadiya, Krishna, Prithvi and Veda, combining initials from the children of Isha–Anand and Akash–Shloka.

The charms were specially commissioned by Nita Ambani from Bag Bijoux founder Aashna Mehta, cousin of Shloka Mehta, reinforcing the family’s close-knit, bespoke aesthetic.

High-Jewellery Craftsmanship

Each letter is crafted using rare Brazilian Paraiba tourmalines and natural diamonds, set in 18k gold, turning the bag into a moving piece of fine jewellery rather than just an accessory.

The customised Hermès piece is now counted among ultra-rare, globally coveted handbags due to its materials, brand pedigree and one-off personalisation.

Social Buzz And Auction Backdrop

Clips and photos from the Delhi auction showing the AKPV bag went viral, with fans decoding the initials and praising the “grandmom flex” of carrying her grandkids’ initials in gems.

Even as crores were spent on star players and emerging talent, many posts joked that Nita Ambani’s bag “won the auction” for sheer intrigue and opulence.

Beyond the glamour, the moment captured how Nita Ambani blends high fashion with emotional symbolism—turning a global luxury icon into a deeply personal family statement in front of a nationwide sporting audience.
