WhatsApp concierge for Leicester, United Kingdom
Worldwide Delivery / UK
Made for Leicester.Shipped Globally.
Every autumn, tens of thousands gather on Belgrave Road for the Diwali lights, and the Golden Mile spends the rest of the year dressing Leicester for weddings. Rashmi Kumari sits alongside that tradition rather than competing with it. Nothing here is pulled from a warehouse shelf. Each saree, kaftan and set is hand embellished to order in our UAE atelier over four to six weeks, then couriered to your door for the banquet halls of Belgrave, the hotel ballrooms in the city centre and the community halls where the family actually gathers.

Questions
Ordering to Leicester
Do you deliver to Leicester?
Yes. Each piece is hand made to order in 4 to 6 weeks, then reaches Leicester 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 Leicester. Nothing ships from stock, because nothing exists until you order it.
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 Diwali or a wedding date falls sooner than that, message us on WhatsApp first 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 the courier's bill is never 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.
