WhatsApp concierge for Dubai, UAE
Worldwide Delivery / GCC
Made for Dubai.Shipped Globally.
Dubai has been buying Indian occasion wear along the lanes of Meena Bazaar in Bur Dubai since 1970, so the eye here is trained and the standard is high. We work differently from a shop floor. Nothing sits folded in a warehouse waiting for a buyer. Each saree, kaftan and set is cut and hand embellished to order in our UAE atelier, then sent to you. It is made for the hotel ballroom reception, for the Diwali evenings at Global Village, for the long family dinner at home. Allow four to six weeks, and what arrives is yours alone.

How it works
A WhatsApp concierge for your Dubai occasion
No forms and no waiting on email. One conversation with one person, from the first question to the day the box arrives.
We confirm the details
Sizing, blouse measurements, colour in daylight and the landed cost to Dubai, all agreed before your piece is cut.
Made, then dispatched
Hand-made to order in 4 to 6 weeks. Then 1 to 2 business days by tracked courier inside the UAE. Steamed, boxed and tracked to your door.
The edit
Pieces we would point Dubai shoppers to
Hand-embellished and made in small runs. Everything on this page is made to order for Dubai on the terms above.
Dressed for the calendar
What Dubai is dressing for
We advise around the GCC season, so the piece you order suits the room you are walking into. Tell us the date early and we will be honest about the making time.
Diwali season
Global Village runs its India Pavilion programme deep into October, and the invitations that follow fill hotel ballrooms and private homes across the city. Place the order by early September.
Wedding receptions
Dubai wedding season moves between hotel ballrooms and banquet halls, often several functions in one week. A made-to-order piece keeps you out of the same silhouette everyone else bought off a rail.
Eid and family gatherings
Long lunches at home, rooftop evenings, and the visiting that runs for days. The kaftan line is cut for exactly this: quiet embellishment, sit-down comfort, nothing that needs managing.
Questions
Ordering to Dubai
How long does an order take to reach me in Dubai?
Every piece is hand made to order, which takes 4 to 6 weeks in our UAE atelier. After dispatch, delivery inside the UAE is 1 to 2 business days by tracked courier.
When should I order for my event?
Order 6 to 8 weeks before the date. That covers the 4 to 6 week make time, the courier leg, and a comfortable margin for any final fitting adjustment.
Can I customize my piece?
Yes, and we encourage it. Every piece is made to order, so sizing, blouse style, sleeve length and drape can all be adjusted to you. Tell our WhatsApp concierge what you have in mind and we will confirm what is possible before you pay.
What does shipping cost?
A flat $45 worldwide, fully tracked. The same rate applies whether the piece is going to Dubai or to another continent, and you receive the tracking link the day it leaves the atelier.
Will I pay customs or duties?
Import duties, where applicable, are payable on delivery. We confirm the landed cost with you on WhatsApp before dispatch, so there is no surprise at the door.
How does sizing work if I cannot try the piece on?
Because nothing is pre-cut, we work from your measurements rather than a size chart. Our team walks you through taking them on WhatsApp before the order goes into the atelier.
