About Dresses
My Dress Philosophy
Handcrafted luxury, made with love - that’s what I stand for. I work with traditional Indian fabrics like handloom Ikat and pure cotton, giving them a modern spin. My aim? Dresses that make you feel good, inside and out.
Dress Styles I Create
- Handloom Ikat dresses: I’m obsessed with these. From spaghetti straps to Angrakha style, each piece shows off Indian craftsmanship with a fresh vibe.
- Cotton essentials: Breathable, light, perfect for summer. Tiered and one-piece options that go from brunch to date night.
- Dress-cum-Kurta: My bestseller. Wear it solo or with pants for that effortless mix of dress and kurta.
Details That Matter
- Pockets in almost every dress - because I get it, we need them!
- Pure fabrics: Mostly cotton and Ikat, super soft and easy on the skin.
- Relaxed fits: Comfort first, no matter your size.
For Every Moment
- Casual day out? Tiered or spaghetti dresses.
- Work? Straight-fit Ikat or pinafore casual dress.
- Festive? Vibrant Angrakha style dress.
- Vacay? Ruffle summer dresses.
Size & Customisation
Inclusive sizes from XS to 6XL. Plus size cotton dress options get extra attention. Custom tweaks? Just ask.
Upcycling Sarees
Got an old saree with memories? I’ll upcycle it into a new dress - your story, your style.
A Bit Personal
खरं तर, प्रत्येक ड्रेस मनापासून बनवायचा प्रयत्न करतेय. (Honestly, I try to make every dress from the heart.) Hope you find one that feels just right.

My Story
Hi, I’m Kanchan, running Yuva Studios out of Seawoods, Navi Mumbai. My studio’s small but it’s where I pour all my love for Indian fabrics. Pure cotton, Ikat, that’s my jam. I grew up loving our roots, so I make clothes that feel like home but look fresh. When folks from the Marathi scene, like Vanita Kharat or Bhadipa, wear my stuff, I get super proud. For Sarang’s 'भाड्याची birthday पार्टी' (Bhadipa's birthday party), I even made a special topi. I just want people to feel good in what they wear.
