What is Sawan Gandhi?
Sawan Gandhi is an Indian designer label named after its founder and designer. The brand produces ethnic and occasion wear for women and men, with the designer describing his work as a contemporary take on traditional silhouettes.
Products and positioning
Hand embroidery is at the heart of the label, and its signature embroidery and silhouettes are central to every collection. For the 2024 occasion wear collection Monochromatic Magic, each outfit was embroidered by hand for hours and the collection took more than four months to complete. Looks included:
- Sarees with intricate needlework
- An open sherwani jacket worn over a saree
- An ivory and gold lehenga with an embroidered net veil
The campaign for that collection, shot in Dubai, featured Pakistani actor Mahira Khan.
Distribution
Sawan Gandhi sells through its own stores in Delhi and Hyderabad, including a store in Banjara Hills offering ethnic wear for men and women, and online. Its collections are also carried by multi-designer platforms such as Aza Fashions and Pernia's Pop-Up Shop.
Why it matters
The label is an example of Indian designer brands that combine handcraft-intensive occasion wear with a small network of flagship stores and online multi-designer retail.
