Real Client Stories & Custom Design Journeys
See how we bring unique visions to life. From saree upcycling to custom embroidery, these are the moments my clients cherish most.
"I was following Anthariya for 2-3 years... it was a dream to get my blouse made here." Hearing this from my client Neetha makes all the hard work worth it.
"The result is very stunning, I just loved it." This client was so happy with her reception lehenga, which we created by upcycling a Kanjivaram saree.
Anupa was so excited to pick up her two engagement outfits. We worked together on a traditional saree look and a contrasting Indo-Western outfit.
"The work is really good and efficient and looks elegant." This client, Shruti, had been following my page for over a year before trusting me with her daughter's half saree.
A beautiful moment from Anupa's engagement. Her custom pastel lehenga was designed to complement the decor and the groom's outfit perfectly.
"Choosing you as my designer was the best decision I have made." A lovely testimonial from my client Tejaswini about her engagement outfits.
"It's also because of the beautiful outfit designed by you mam." A sweet message from my client Harshitha after she received her wedding photos.
About this collection
What I love most is how we stay connected during your design journey. From sketching to bead selection, I send photos of every sample piece, like the exact shades of your zardozi or specific embroidery patterns, so nothing is a surprise. It is a process where your input is the final word.
My design philosophy is simple. Fashion should not be about mass production. It is about the personal touch, the slow fashion with soul. When you come to the studio in Naagarabhaavi, we do not just take measurements. We talk, we sketch, and we decide on the details together. Many of my clients bring me their mother’s wedding saree, hesitant to cut it, but wanting to wear it for their own reception or engagement. My job is to handle that fabric with care, ensuring we maximize the border usage while giving it a modern silhouette, like a lehenga or a floor-length gown. Whether it is zardozi work for a bride or a simple thread work design for a small festival, I pay attention to the fabric type. Delicate crepes get light work, while sturdier silks can handle bolder embroidery. I am always available to guide you through the process, from selecting the right fabric to finalizing the tassel finish. If you are looking for matching outfits for you and your little one, we specialize in those coordinated looks too. It is all about making sure you feel confident and grand on your special day. I am based in Bangalore, but I work with clients all over India, keeping you updated every step of the way.
