Regal Sherwanis & Achkans for Modern Grooms
A fusion of classic Indian craftsmanship and contemporary silhouettes. Custom sherwanis and achkans designed for your wedding and special occasions, created in my Delhi studio.
This black sherwani is a study in modern royalty, featuring an attached metallic gold neck drape that replaces a traditional necklace. The clean lines and sharp tailoring make it a sophisticated choice for a groom's reception look.

About this collection
My sherwanis and achkans rely on half-canvas and full-canvas construction, depending on the fabric and structure you choose. This approach does more than hold the shape of the garment; it allows the jacket to mold to your body over time, providing a level of comfort and precise fit that off-the-rack alternatives cannot match.
When you walk into my studio in Shahpur Jat, the process is about translating your personal style into a garment. I focus on merging traditional Indian embroidery techniques—like Zardosi and wired jaal work—with modern, clean-lined Western cuts.
For my Heirloom Ceremonial Sherwanis, I use full floating canvas, which is hand-stitched. This is a labor-intensive method, but it is necessary for the structure to move naturally with you. For the fusion achkans, I often work with imported Italian wool (Super 110s and 120s) or premium jacquard weaves to give you that sharp, modern look without feeling weighed down.
Every piece is made to order, and for higher-end sherwanis, I include 2-3 fitting sessions. This ensures the proportions are perfect before the final hand-embroidery is applied. Whether you prefer the weight of raw silk and velvet for a traditional ceremony or the lightness of fusion construction for a reception, I adjust the techniques to fit the occasion. If you have specific ideas about closures, lapels, or the balance between embroidery and fabric texture, we can incorporate those details during your initial consultation.

I am Arun Kaushik. At my studio in Shahpur Jat, I focus on building outfits that bridge the gap between traditional Indian craftsmanship and clean, modern silhouettes. I work directly with you to ensure the final piece feels like an extension of your own style, rather than just another wedding costume.
