Who we are
Made for the night it’s worn.
Our karigars came to Mumbai from Bareilly and Lucknow and have worked together since 2009. Every piece is drawn, cut and embroidered under one roof, and you can visit the workroom at your second fitting.
Bridal lehengas, evening gowns and sherwanis, cut to you and embroidered by hand in our own workroom. Ninety minutes in the studio with our designer: fabrics, colours, a sketch of your lehenga and a written quote. ₹2,500, adjusted against your order.

What customers say
Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.
I came in with a photo of my grandmother’s lehenga. They kept the border pattern and made the rest my own. It fitted on the day without a single pin.
My reception gown was ready a week early. The second fitting was by video because I was in Dubai, and it still fitted perfectly.
They matched my sherwani buttons to the pearls on my wife’s dupatta. Small thing, but everyone noticed in the photos.
