A visit to Kaynaat by Aanchal Sawhney, where heritage meets modern elegance. Their collection, from timeless craftsmanship to contemporary pret wear, is perfect for every bride.
I loved visiting the House of Masaba store in Chandigarh. It's the perfect place to find inspiration for a modern Indian wardrobe, with a pop of prints, colours, and effortless chic.

About My Little Black Book: Designer & Store Visits
When I visit a store, I don’t just look at the hanger. I check the lining quality, the weight of the embroidery, and how the fabric actually moves when you walk. If a piece looks good in photos but feels stiff or uncomfortable in person, I will be the first one to tell you to skip it.
My Little Black Book isn't about chasing the biggest names with the highest price tags. It is a curated list of stores I have personally visited, tested, and trusted. Whether you need the opulent zardozi of Nawazish in Lucknow, the contemporary prints at House of Masaba in Chandigarh, or the fusion wear at Amit GT, I have walked the floor to see what is actually worth your budget.
When you are shopping for your wedding, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices. That is where I come in. I have done the legwork, checking everything from the finishing on the zardozi to the drape of the fabric. I look for pieces that are not just stunning, but practical. Can you rewear this blouse with a saree later? Is the lehenga too heavy to dance in? I answer these questions before you even step into the fitting room.
For my NRI clients or those who cannot travel, I use this personal network to conduct live video shopping. I do not just show you the front; I show you the back, the inner lining, and how it drapes on a model. If you are looking for a mix of heirloom style and modern cuts, let us chat about which of these studios fits your vibe and budget best.
