Hand-Painted Clothing and Wearable Art
I transform your favourite garments like kurtas, shirts, and sarees into one-of-a-kind wearable art. Bring me your clothing and your dream design, and I will hand-paint it so it is uniquely yours.

About Wearable Art: Hand-Painted Clothing
When I paint on fabric, I don't just apply colour. I use specialized fabric acrylics and gutta outliners that bond with the fibres. Every piece goes through a pre-wash to remove sizing agents, followed by a careful heat-setting process that makes the design durable enough for gentle hand washing.
Whether you want to breathe new life into a favourite Kerala cotton saree or add a personal touch to a linen kurta, I treat your clothes as my canvas. My process is intimate and hands-on. I start by discussing the motif—maybe you love tulips, abstract profiles, or something deeply personal like my 'Har Nari, Krantikari' theme—and then map it onto the fabric. I work with high-quality fabric paints that resist fading. Because I do this by hand, the flow of the design follows the drape of your clothing, ensuring it looks natural while you wear it. If you have an older piece of clothing that still fits well but feels plain, sending it to me is a great way to refresh your wardrobe without buying new fast fashion. I take on garment painting projects across Noida and the wider NCR region. Just let me know what garment you have in mind, and we can discuss the design.
