OUR STORY · THE HOUSE OF LEELAVASTRAM

Over 15 years of turning creative vision into couture reality.

15+Years of couture
manufacturing experience

For more than 15 years, Leelavastram has worked behind the scenes of international fashion—transforming ideas into beautifully handcrafted garments and commercially considered collections.

From established fashion houses and international boutiques to independent labels and rising designers, every collaboration has deepened our understanding of craftsmanship, fit, quality, confidentiality and the realities of bringing a collection to market.

Our international exposure has taught us that fashion is never one-size-fits-all. Silhouettes, colours, embellishment, sizing and occasionwear preferences change with geography, culture and customer lifestyle. We use this understanding to interpret each designer’s identity while developing products that feel relevant to the people and markets they are created for.

CRAFT KNOWLEDGE · ZARDOZI

“Painting
by Needle”

Hand embroidery is an expression of imagination, patience and devoted craftsmanship—transforming thread, metal, beads and crystals into wearable art.

ZARGold
+
DOZIEmbroidery

An ancient craft, continually reimagined.

Zardozi—also written Zar-douzi—is an elaborate form of hand embroidery with Persian roots. It achieved extraordinary prominence in the Indian subcontinent through Mughal patronage, reaching a celebrated height during Emperor Akbar’s reign in the late 16th century.

Historically, artisans worked with pure gold and silver wires and even gold leaf. Contemporary zardozi often combines metal wires with gold- or silver-toned finishes, silk threads, beads, sequins and crystals—preserving the richness of the technique while adapting it for modern couture.
