Arati Couture House
Atelier

The Atelier

A house built on craft.

Our Story

Founded in Delhi in 2004, Arati Couture House was born of a single belief — that Indian craft deserves the reverence the world has long reserved for the great houses of Paris and Milan.

Over two decades, we have grown into a family of forty master karigars, three ateliers, and a private archive of over two thousand hand-drawn motifs. Each piece we release is a small, deliberate act — a stitched inheritance for the woman who wears it and the daughters she will one day pass it to.

The Craft

Slow work, in a quickening world.

Zardozi, aari, mukaish, chikankari, kamdani — every technique we practice is inherited, taught by hand, refined in silence. We do not chase seasons. We chase permanence.

The Founder

Arati Sharma.

Trained at Central Saint Martins and mentored by two generations of Rajasthani karigars, Arati founded the house to build a bridge between global couture sensibilities and India's deepest textile traditions.
