About Men's Custom Formal & Wedding Wear
I get how important it is for a groom’s outfit to feel personal. For me, ondh kathe helbeku (it should tell a story) – your story, not just a generic suit or sherwani. When you look back, I want you to see an outfit that feels timeless and totally you.
Fit, Fabric, and All the Details
I’ve worked with big brands, but what makes my pieces stand out is the construction - not just the fancy fabric, but what’s inside: canvas, felts, all that stuff that makes a suit sit right and look crisp. We use everything from Indian textiles to imported Japanese fabrics for that dreamy fall and comfort. You’ll feel the quality, not just see it.
Your Style, Your Way
Some grooms come wanting thumba heavy work beda (not too much bling), just a clean, elegant look. Others want a royal vibe with rich, intricate details. Our handwork is where the magic happens - Zardosi, Saadi, crystals, sugar beads, zarkans, unique motifs, even hand-painted touches. Got an heirloom or a wild idea? Adanna itkondu (we’ll use it) and make it yours. Want to jazz up your old suit? We can do that too.
All the Options
- Western & Indo-Western: Bespoke groom suits, tuxedos, custom blazers, Jodhpuri jackets
- Traditional: Custom sherwani design, hand-embroidered kurtas, bandhgala
- South Indian Special: Silk 'Muhurtam' outfits, dhoti (kacche), shawl (shalya) with pure zari
How It Works
Starts with a chat, moves to design and fabric choices, then in-person trials or remote guidance if you’re not local. I’m hands-on at every fitting, making sure it’s sakkat (perfect).
No matter where you are, I’ll help you get that fit just right.

My Story
Hey, Rashmi here from Arulaa. 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.
