From the moment I first witnessed an Indian wedding, I was captivated. The colors, the intricate embroidery, the way women adorned themselves like walking pieces of art—it felt like a dream woven into reality. Each wedding I saw left me in awe, but there was always one thing that lingered in my mind: the sheer weight of it all. The beauty was undeniable, but the heaviness of traditional attire made it difficult to move freely, to truly revel in the celebration.


That’s when the idea for Rachelya was born—a collection that preserves the grandeur of Indian wedding artistry while reimagining it for the modern world. I wanted to create something that carried the same elegance, the same mesmerizing craftsmanship, but with a lightness that allowed for effortless movement. This collection is my love letter to the traditions that have enchanted me, designed for women everywhere to embrace the beauty of Indian weddings without the burden—only grace, comfort, and the joy of celebration.
