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. We cut to your measurements. We name our weavers. We stay in Melbourne with you while it's at the loom.
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.
Four named clusters
We work with named weaver clusters in Banaras, Lucknow, and Kutch, and finish every piece in our Melbourne atelier. We visit India twice a year. We know the karigars.
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.
