How it started

Born from a love of colour and craft

Pastel Pallet began with a wardrobe problem. Ethnic wear either looked beautiful on a hanger and felt impossible to wear, or was comfortable enough for a long day and looked like an afterthought. We could not find the middle.

So we started making it. Small runs, made with karigars in Jaipur, Lucknow and Surat, using fabrics chosen for how they behave in an Indian summer rather than how they photograph.

We would rather make two hundred pieces properly than two thousand quickly. Pastel Pallet

What we stand for

Four things we will not compromise on

  • Made by hand

    Every piece is finished by a single karigar rather than passed down a line. It is slower, and it is why no two garments are quite identical.

  • Fabric first

    Cotton, chanderi, chiffon and silk, chosen for how they sit against skin through a long day rather than how they read on a screen.

  • Cut for real bodies

    Our range runs XS to XXL, graded on real fit models at every size instead of scaled up from a sample.

  • Small batches

    We make in limited runs. Less waste, less deadstock, and a reason to come back when something new lands.

The people who make it

Nine days of work, one kurta set

A Chikankari set passes through a single pair of hands in Lucknow for over a week before it reaches you. That slight irregularity in the stitch is the signature of the person who made it, not a flaw.

Before you ask

Questions we get most

If something is not covered here, message us on WhatsApp. A person answers, usually within the working day.

Where are your clothes made?

Across three craft clusters: Jaipur for block print and bandhani, Lucknow for chikankari, and Surat for our chiffons and silks. We work with the same karigars run after run rather than moving to whoever is cheapest.

How should I choose a size?

Every product page carries a size chart in centimetres. Our range runs XS to XXL. If you fall between two sizes, size up — most of our silhouettes are meant to skim rather than cling.

How do I care for these fabrics?

Dry clean is safest for anything embroidered or silk. For cotton, a cold hand wash with mild detergent, washed separately the first two times, and dried in shade to keep the colour.

Do you take custom orders?

For some pieces, yes. Message us on WhatsApp with the style and your measurements and we will tell you honestly whether it is something we can do well.
