Crafted in Surat
Every piece begins as a length of cloth and the patience of a karigar. This is how it comes to life.
Surat has been a heart of Indian textile craft for centuries. It is where our ateliers work — master karigars whose skill in cutting, embroidery and finishing is passed down through generations.
The making
- Cut — each garment is patterned and cut by hand, for the piece and, when made to measure, for you.
- Embroidered — zardozi, thread and bead work are worked by hand, hour upon hour, motif by motif.
- Finished — drapes are set, edges hand-finished and fastenings placed with care.
Checked twice
Before a piece travels to you it is inspected at the atelier and again before export — stitching, finish and fabric measured against a single Desikaly standard. Read about our promise.
Made to measure
Because so much is done by hand, most pieces can be tailored to your own measurements. Choose made-to-measure at checkout, or see the size guide to find your fit.
