About Curated Ethnic Apparel & Accessories
Why I Started This
For me, making clothes isn’t just a business - it’s about celebrating women, their stories, and the little moments. Every piece I create or select has ishq (love) stitched into it. My daughter and I travel across India, talking to weavers, hearing about their craft, and bringing home only those sarees and accessories that truly stand out.
What You’ll Find
- Handpicked silk sarees, including classic Kanjeevarams and breezy Banarasis. We look for unique colour combos and rare weaves, like bottle green with baby pink.
- Light and flowy drapes for easy elegance - Kota silks, Tussars, and buttery Pure Butter Silk.
- Not just sarees! We also design in-house summer kurtas, floral lehenga sets, and tie-dye dresses for those days you want something different.
- Statement ethnic jewellery, each piece handcrafted by me with coral, turquoise, pearls, and silver. It’s all about finishing touches.
Old Sarees, New Stories
If you’ve got an old saree sitting in your cupboard - maybe your mom’s Kanjeevaram - I can help you revamp it with block prints and fresh design touches. It’s a way to keep those memories alive and give them new life.
Celebrating You
Whether you wear my designs for a habba (festival) or a wedding, seeing you enjoy them is pure maja ide (so much fun). I’m here for your grace, your strength, and your style, always.

My Story
I’m Sudha, and manSi is my heart. Started with kids’ art classes, now it’s all about celebrating women.
