WhatsApp concierge for Ilford, United Kingdom
Worldwide Delivery / UK
Made for Ilford.Shipped Globally.
Ilford is where families move once the second generation has its own footing: Gants Hill, Clayhall and Barkingside, with the Green Street market a short drive south when something is needed in a hurry. Nothing we make is in a hurry. Each Rashmi Kumari saree, kaftan and set is hand embellished to order in our UAE atelier over four to six weeks, then couriered into Redbridge for the banquet halls, hotel ballrooms and community halls that carry a London wedding and Eid season.

Questions
Ordering to Ilford
Do you deliver to Ilford?
Yes. Each piece is hand made to order in 4 to 6 weeks, then reaches Ilford in 2 to 4 business days by tracked express courier once it leaves the atelier. Shipping is a flat $45, worldwide.
How long does it take?
Each piece is hand made to order in 4 to 6 weeks, then 2 to 4 business days in transit to Ilford. Nothing is picked off a shelf, so the make time is the honest part of the wait.
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.
When should I order for my event?
Order 6 to 8 weeks before the date. That covers the 4 to 6 week make time, UK transit and a margin for any final adjustment. If your date is closer, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done.
Will I pay import VAT or customs duty?
Yes. UK orders attract import VAT of about 20 percent plus customs duty on delivery, because every piece sits well above the current low value threshold. We confirm the full landed cost with you on WhatsApp before dispatch, so nothing at the door is a surprise.
Can I get sizing help and order over WhatsApp?
Yes. Our concierge confirms measurements, fabric and colour, quotes the landed cost in full and sends a payment link. Prices are shown and billed in USD.
