Sarees, blouses, every piece we make has some story behind it - not just fabric, but memories stitched in. Sometimes it’s a bride’s muhurtham, sometimes an actor’s big day. I once made a pallu work matching a client’s golden brooch, she went mad with happiness! (Aagide, she was so thrilled!) Ten years with some clients, that’s the best part. From Bangalore to UAE, it’s about heart and craft, always. ### My work - **Handcrafted Custom Outfits for All**: We create bespoke couture for men, women, and kids - bridal blouses, sarees, kurtas, suits, shipped worldwide. - **Jewelry-Inspired and Collaborative Designs**: You bring an idea or even a brooch, we build around it. Minimal, rich, whatever you want, we listen. - **New Age Embroidery on Kancheevaram Sarees**: Love mixing techniques like bracket work, descending work, and tulle net for unique, modern traditional wear. - **Styling for Brides and Celebrities**: Outfits for Kannada film stars and brides in Mandya, Mysore - always subtle, classy, and story-driven. ## Book To book Arulaa by Rashmi Anoop Rao, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Arulaa%20by%20Rashmi%20Anoop%20Rao.)
