01
Fabric selection
Rolls are chosen in daylight, never under studio lamps. A colour that reads beautifully at 4pm can be a different colour entirely at noon.
Our Atelier
Everything you wear was made a few steps from where it was drawn.
Cutting, stitching, embroidery and finishing happen in one room. It is slower than sending work out — and it is the only way we can promise a hem was checked twice.
Seven rooms, one roof
How a Sri Sakhi piece is made.
02
Sketching
The silhouette is drawn against real measurements before anything is cut. Most designs change twice at this stage, which is far cheaper than changing them later.
03
Pattern preparation
A cotton toile is made and thrown away. It exists only to prove the pattern before expensive cloth is touched.
04
Tailoring
Construction is where a garment earns its comfort. Canvassed bodices, side-seam closures, hems weighted so they fall back into place.
05
Embroidery
The frame is set once and does not move until the work is finished. Density is checked in daylight every third day.
06
Finishing
Hand-rolled hems, covered plackets, concealed hooks. Three days of work that nobody photographs.
07
Quality checking
Every piece is checked twice — once by the tailor who made it, and once by someone who did not.
Visit
You are welcome to see it.
Most clients come to the atelier at least once. It is the quickest way to understand why a commission takes eleven weeks — and the difference between a fabric described and a fabric held.
