Based out of Ahmedabad in Gujarat, Meghmalhaar specialises in custom and ready-to-wear Indo-Western outfits for men and women. The focus is to create beautiful clothing that is rich in texture, with fresh and contemporary silhouettes, epitomising a refined aesthetic that is enhanced by delicate hand embroidery. The range at Meghmalhaar includes South Indian cotton silk from Bengaluru, Lucknowis from Lucknow, Banarasi brocades from Varanasi, Block Prints of Jaipur, and Bandhanis from South Gujarat.
The designers at Meghmalhaar work closely with the artisans from Kutch in Gujarat and Kolkata in West Bengal, who excel in traditional and rare hand embroideries like Kashmiri, Parsi, Jardozi, threadwork, Gota Patti, Applique, Abhla or Mirror-work and new age digital prints too.
Meghmalhaar is the result of Mumbai-born former finance professional Nehali Kothari's creative pursuit. During her sabbatical, Nehali did a SWOT analysis and found her calling in fashion designing, something she had burning in the back of her mind all through the 15 years of her successful career in finance. What followed was a whirlwind trip to all the fabric hubs in India to research, learn and understand the products, its people and the market.
Meghmalhaar is named after Nehali's daughter Megh, in whom she sees the modern Indian woman. Nehali and her team of designers together create work wear, casual wear, festive/occasion wear for their beloved patrons, offering them an enviable variety in fabric, colour, embroidery, print and design; all this within their budget. From Raveena Tandon and Tapsee Pannu to Tisca Chopra and Rytasha Rathore, top Indian celebrities too love dressing up in Meghmalhaar.
