About

There’s something really special about creating outfits that help people feel their best on big days. I get a real kick out of watching a family walk in, all looking sharp, and knowing I had a hand in it. Especially when someone tries on their custom blouse for the first time and just lights up.

For Women: Blouses & Beyond

Blouses are my playground - from corset styles for a structured look to blouses dripping with beadwork and 3D flowers. I do a lot of hand-embroidered saree ensembles and love fusing puffed sleeves or funky back cuts with classic Kanchivaram styles. I always want you to feel like the outfit was made just for you.

Men & Kids: Not Left Out

I make sure men get their share of attention too. Sherwanis, kurta sets with a bit of flair, even the traditional kache panche - all custom. For kids, I design tiny pattu pavadais and mini langa vonis. Seeing a little one twirl in silk? Too cute, ra.

How I Work

My style mixes South Indian roots with a bit of modern twist. You’ll see silk, velvet, organza, and all kinds of colours - pastels, jewel tones, whatever fits the moment. Every piece is made from scratch for the occasion, whether it’s a wedding, engagement, or gruhapravesham (housewarming). I’m in Bangalore but my outfits travel everywhere.
