About The Modern Royal
The biggest complaint I hear about formal bandhgalas is the heat. That is why every piece here is constructed with proprietary breathable interlinings and lightweight fusing. You get that sharp, royal structure without feeling like you are trapped in a sauna during a long wedding reception.
My approach to the 'Modern Royal' aesthetic is simple: keep the regal silhouette but remove the stuffiness that usually comes with it. When you are standing in a crowded cocktail venue or sitting through a ceremony, the last thing you want is a jacket that feels like a weight on your shoulders.
Every jacket in this collection is a result of that philosophy. We use premium Italian wools and rich velvets, but we pair them with imported breathable lining and lightweight internal structures. It creates a garment that holds its shape perfectly without sacrificing your comfort.
The Details That Matter
- Signature Hardware: You will notice buttons made from rare antique coins, like the 1 Anna coin. It adds a layer of history and character that factory-made buttons simply cannot replicate.
- Motifs & Embroidery: We move away from the generic. Whether it is our flying bird embroidery or elephant motifs, these are hand-finished details that tell a story. The placement is deliberate, meant to catch the light and the eye.
- The Fit: Because this is custom work, we focus on the structure. From the shoulder fall to the tapered waist, the garment moves with you. If you are in Delhi, I invite you to visit our Defence Colony studio to see how these fabrics feel and drape in person.
If you want a look that commands the room but lets you breathe, this is the right place to start.
