Custom & Upcycled Indian Wear Designs
Some of my favorite pieces are the ones I have breathed new life into. Let’s create something truly yours, whether we are reimagining a vintage heirloom or designing a fresh festive look from scratch.
This kaftan suit is the perfect example of my design philosophy. I worked with a tailor to transform my mom's 30-year-old saree into this modern outfit, proving that style can be sustainable and sentimental.
I designed this vibrant red cape set for a festive occasion. The dhoti-style pants and attached cape create a dramatic silhouette that’s both modern and rooted in Indian design.
This metallic gold pre-draped saree is another one of my own designs. I wanted to create something glamorous and easy to wear for sangeets or cocktail parties.
I designed this simple off-white suit with gold detailing on the sleeves and pants. It's a testament to how clean lines and subtle embellishments can create a very elegant look.
There's a unique power in a red saree. I designed this one to be simple yet striking, perfect for a wedding reception or an elegant evening event. The focus is on the drape and the rich color.
A quick recap of the three outfits I designed and styled for my brother's wedding. Each look, from the purple mehendi suit to the golden sangeet saree, was created to match the vibe of the event.

Another look at my self-designed golden saree. The soft waves in my hair and the classic makeup let the outfit be the star of the show.
For the Anand Karaj ceremony, I designed this mauve velvet sharara suit. The intricate hand embroidery on the kurta adds a touch of heritage and craftsmanship.

About My Custom & Upcycled Designs
The most special piece in my wardrobe started as my mom’s 30-year-old saree. I worked with a tailor to transform it into a modern kaftan suit, proving that you do not need a massive budget or a brand-new closet to find your style. It is about taking those sentimental fabrics you already own and giving them a silhouette that actually fits your life today, so you can wear your memories instead of just storing them.
When we talk about custom designs, it is rarely about just picking a fabric and hoping for the best. It is a process of finding the intersection between who you are and what you want to feel like. Whether I am sketching a red cape set for a festive evening or sourcing fabric for a velvet sharara, the goal is always the same: comfort that does not sacrifice elegance.
Upcycling is a huge part of this. We all have that one piece in our cupboard, like a heavy silk saree from a wedding or a suit that does not fit quite right, that we are too attached to give away but never actually wear. I help you bridge that gap. We look at the fabric, assess the current drape, and decide on a silhouette that feels modern. Sometimes it is a quick alteration, and sometimes it is a complete restructuring into something like a kaftan or a dhoti-pant set.
If you are planning for a specific event, such as a sangeet, an intimate wedding, or a festive puja, I guide you through the entire journey. We balance the high with the low, finding ways to mix custom-made pieces with thoughtful accessories so your look feels balanced rather than costume-y. It is all about creating clothes that feel like a second skin rather than a temporary trend.
