Kasturi Kundal Weaves a New Chapter with Its First Delhi Boutique

Kasturi Kundal, the luxury Indian textile label, has opened its first boutique in Delhi, bringing its world of handwoven heritage to the capital after the success of its flagship in Raipur. Founded in 2019 by Reena Katiyar and Aarushi Katiyar, the brand works from a single guiding belief, that craft is knowledge, and every saree and garment it produces follows a long, deliberate journey that begins with the finest yarns and moves through handloom weaving, embroidery, and finishing, made in close collaboration with artisan communities across India. The new space, in Mehrauli, is the brand's considered step into a city that, in its founders' view, deeply values craft and culture.

The boutique brings together the label's signature range of handwoven Banarasi silks, organzas, linens, khaddar, and kalamkari, alongside the collections that have shaped its design language. An Afternoon in Piccadilly reimagines Banarasi weaves through Victorian-inspired palettes and motifs, while Monica turns to Art Deco with bold geometry, vibrant color, and celebrated weaves such as Tanchoi and Tissue.

For brides, Ketti Melam pairs Banarasi sarees with handcrafted veils and techniques including Zardozi, Aari, Dabka, and Dori, while Kasturba celebrates hand-spun khaddar through delicate embroidery and Kora explores the lightness of organza silk in fluid, contemporary silhouettes. Completing the range is Rati, a tribute to Banaras and its master weavers, showcasing time-honored techniques including Kadhua, Jaal, Jangla and Tanchoi.

Speaking on the launch, Reena Katiyar, founder of Kasturi Kundal, said, "Every textile tells the story of the hands that created it. At Kasturi Kundal, our endeavor has always been to honor that legacy with authenticity and respect while creating pieces that can be treasured for generations. Opening our first store in Delhi is a meaningful milestone, allowing us to share these stories with a city that deeply values craft and culture."

Co-founder Aarushi Katiyar added: "We have always believed that heritage and contemporary design can exist in harmony. Our Delhi boutique has been envisioned as more than a retail space- it's a place where visitors can engage with Indian textiles, discover the remarkable craftsmanship behind every collection, and experience the enduring beauty of handloom."

The brand frames the boutique as more than an expansion, describing it as the next chapter in its work to preserve India's textile traditions while bringing handcrafted luxury to a wider audience, a space where, in its own words, every weave carries history and every creation is designed to become an heirloom.
