How Does the Bespoke Process Work From Kochi?
Physical Atelier Exclusivity Notice: Chirag Parmar Signatures does not operate a physical retail showroom, branch, or partner store in Kochi. Our master cutting room, pattern drafting workshop, and bespoke atelier are located exclusively in Basavanagudi, Bengaluru. Out-of-town clients from Kochi are served through our structured destination bespoke workflow, combining remote precision with targeted atelier visits.
Clients from Kochi (about an hour and a half by air, the most practical way in from Kerala from Bengaluru) follow our proven 3-stage bespoke process:
- 1-on-1 Remote Video Consultation & Couriered Fabric Swatches: We align on your wedding functions, silhouettes, and color themes over video with founder Chirag Parmar. Physical swatches of your shortlisted fabrics (pure silk brocades, raw silks, Italian Super 130s–150s worsted wools, velvets) are express-couriered to your doorstep in Kochi to evaluate drape and hand-feel under your home lighting.
- Targeted Bengaluru Atelier Visit (Measurements & Basted Canvas Fitting):
- Structured Garments (Wedding Sherwanis, Full-Canvas Suits, Tuxedos, Bandhgalas, Bespoke Women’s Suits): Require in-person fitting at our Basavanagudi atelier. Most clients choose either two day-trips (Visit 1 for 20–25 anatomical measurements; Visit 2 for a basted canvas trial fitting 2–3 weeks later) or a single 2–3 day Bengaluru trip where Day 1 is master measurement and Day 2 or 3 is the basted canvas trial fitting before garment finishing.
- Relaxed Silhouettes (Festive Silk Kurtas, Bundis, Nehru Jackets): Can be measured entirely via our guided remote video measurement protocol, requiring zero travel to Bengaluru.
- Tracked, Insured Courier Delivery & Fit Guarantee: Finished garments are hand-pressed, packed in breathable dust-proof garment bags, and dispatched to Kochi via insured, tracked express courier. Should minor post-delivery fine-tuning ever be required, our 48-hour workshop turnaround ensures doorstep pickup and return.
