First time at the atelier
If you grew up between two wardrobes, this is the atelier for you.
Aratrikkaz designs for the Melbourne woman who hasn't worn a saree since her sister's mehendi in Pune. For the daughter in Melbourne whose mother sent her a lehenga that doesn't quite fit. For the Singaporean second-gen who knows the festival but has lost the wardrobe. Most pieces ship in 2 to 4 working days from our Blackburn and Clyde North stores. We're a phone call away while a commission is in the workshop.
Three questions
Tell Ketki what you're dressing for.
Three short answers. No account to make, no card to enter. She reads them herself in the Melbourne studio and writes back.
How the atelier works
Three things you should know first.
Cut to your measurements
We don't ship a standard size. Every piece is cut to a measurement chart you build with us — by WhatsApp video, by Melbourne fitting, or by sending us your tailor's chart.
Nineteen years in Patel Nagar
Our Delhi workshop opened nineteen years ago. The same twenty craftspeople cut, stitch, and finish every sharara, gharara, and indo-western piece — the ombré dyes, the Zardozi, Aari, and Mukaish embroidery, by hand. For Banarasi and Bandhani sarees, Chikankari, Phulkari, men's and kids — partner sources we've known just as long.
Four to eight weeks at the loom
Most pieces take four to eight weeks. Some take twelve. We tell you the day yours leaves the loom, and the day it lands in Australia.
A note from Ketki
“If you haven't worn one of these in fifteen years — that's alright. Twenty years in the craft, I still re-learn it every season. We'll find the piece together.”
— Ketki Gupta, founder · Designed in Melbourne · Crafted across India.
