Deepti Ramaiya

About

I always say this in Gujarati to explain my approach. It's not just about matching kapda (clothes), it's about matching emotions. Every old dupatta or saree lying in your trunk has a story. I don't see old clothes, I see memories waiting to be lived again. Why should they just collect dust?

More Than Upcycling

For me, it's not only about sustainability. It's about that special feeling when you wear your ma ki saree (mom's saree), but now as a dress you actually want to wear out. That’s sentimental outfit transformation at its core.

What Can We Make?

• Heirloom saree redesign: Maybe your mom's wedding saree becomes a jumpsuit or a cute skirt and top set.
• Baby ka pehla dress (baby’s first dress) - I can turn that into a cap, a pouch, or even a small keepsake for you.
• Got a kurta or shirt you love but never wear? Let’s brainstorm and create something you’ll use again.

How I Work

• You tell me the story behind your kapda and what you’d like to see it become.
• We chat, I sketch, and together we pick a design.
• I get to work - carefully taking apart, then stitching up your custom memory clothing.

Sometimes the fabric limits what we can do, but I’ll always be honest about it. Most of all, I want to help you wear your memories, not just store them.
