Behind the Scenes of Our Design Process
Ever wonder how a concept becomes a garment? We take you behind the scenes of our design studio, where traditional Indian textiles meet modern, custom tailoring.
This video shows the beautiful process of hand-block printing, a heritage craft that I incorporate into my designs. Using hand-carved wooden blocks, artisans press patterns onto fabric, creating textiles that are truly unique and rich with tradition.
This is where the magic begins. My design process involves everything from sketching the initial concept and pinning the pattern to the final moments at the sewing machine. Every step is handled with care to bring your custom outfit to life.
I draw immense inspiration from India's rich textile heritage, embodied by artisans like this weaver at his loom. Their dedication to handloom and traditional techniques informs my commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and creating pieces with a soul.
This is a glimpse into my creative process. A mood board like this helps me explore and combine different textures, colors, and fabric embellishments. It’s how I gather inspiration to design a piece that is completely unique to you.
About Our Craft & Inspiration
At our studio, nothing is pre-made. Every piece starts with a conversation about your style and fabric choice, followed by hand-carving blocks or precise sketching. When you work with us, you are part of the process from the first fabric swatch to the final fitting, ensuring the result is made exclusively for you.
We believe your clothes should tell your story, not just fit your measurements. Our process is rooted in a deep respect for Indian textile heritage, blending time-honored techniques like block printing and Zardosi embroidery with modern silhouettes.
The Creative Journey
1. Design & Consultation Everything begins with an idea. Whether you come to us with a reference or a vague concept, we sit down to sketch the silhouette. We finalize the pattern, choosing everything from the neckline to the volume of the skirt, ensuring the design flatters your body.
2. Material Selection & Craft Quality is non-negotiable. We source premium Cotton, Rayon, Linen, and Satin. If your design requires it, we incorporate hand-carved block prints or intricate hand-embroidery. We handle the heavy lifting, from applying structural support like padding and can-can layers to ensuring concealed zippers and overlocked seams for a clean finish.
3. The Fitting We do not believe in off-the-rack sizing. We cut patterns based on your unique body measurements. We work until the piece sits just right, adjusting fusing and lining to give you a polished look. Because every piece is created from scratch in our Kharghar studio, we do not offer returns, but we guarantee a result that feels like it was made for you.
Whether you are looking for a fusion gown or a classic blouse, we handle the construction so you can focus on the vibe. If you are in the Mumbai or Navi Mumbai area, we make the process easy with pick-up and drop-off services for orders of five or more pieces.
