A customer once brought in a saree she had inherited from her mother, absolutely stunning, with a rich border and delicate zari work, but she was hesitant to wear it because the old blouse no longer fit and she genuinely did not know what kind of new blouse would do it justice. By the time we finished designing a fresh…
Fashion trends come and go, but some styles earn a permanent place in our wardrobes. One such trend is the cord set, a perfectly coordinated outfit that combines comfort, versatility and effortless style. Whether you are dressing for a brunch, vacation, festive gathering or a casual workday, a well designed cord set for women offers a polished look without the…
Every year, about two weeks before Diwali, our store starts getting noticeably busier, and it is almost always the same rush. Customers messaging us asking, “is there a good boutique near me that can actually stitch something in time for Diwali,” or walking in saying they left it a little too late and now need something that fits perfectly without…
A customer stood in front of our mirror last month, holding a saree in one hand and a lehenga in the other, genuinely unable to decide between the two for her cousin’s wedding reception. She asked me a question I get quite often, “which one is actually better?” And honestly, my answer surprised her a little, because there is no…
A customer walked into our store last Karva Chauth season, looking a little lost, and told me honestly, “I have no idea what to get her this year, she already has enough jewellery.” We got talking, and by the end of the conversation, he had picked out a beautifully embroidered saree with a custom blouse, something his wife had casually…
Every year around Raksha Bandhan, I go through the same little debate with myself. Do I get my sister something practical, something she has been wanting, or something that feels a bit more special and thoughtful. A few years ago, instead of the usual chocolates and a card, I got her a dress she had casually mentioned liking weeks earlier,…
Every year, right around Onam, our store sees a very specific kind of rush. Customers walk in asking for that classic cream and gold saree, sometimes remembering it from their grandmother’s wardrobe, sometimes simply because it is the one look that instantly says Onam the moment you see it. Last week, a customer told me she had been meaning to…
Sixteen years ago, when we first started stitching and customising clothes in Bangalore, I honestly did not imagine we would still be doing this today, let alone with the kind of trust our clients now place in us. What began as a small tailoring setup, mostly blouses and simple alterations, slowly grew into a full boutique offering everything from custom…
A relative of mine, who had just moved to Bangalore for work, called me a few months ago asking a simple question, “what is the best boutique in Bangalore?” I remember pausing before answering, because the honest truth is that “best” really depends on what you are looking for. The best boutique for a bridal lehenga might not be the…
