Malleshwaram

Chirag Parmar Signatures tailors ceremonial menswear for Malleshwaram, North Bengaluru's traditional heart and, along with Basavanagudi, one of the two neighbourhoods where wedding custom is still observed most closely.

Malleshwaram weddings are firmly traditional. The muhurtham is observed properly, the palette stays within cream, ivory, gold and deep red, and families here generally expect ceremonial wear to be pure silk rather than a blend. Sampige Road remains a silk-buying destination in its own right, so clients often arrive having already handled a great deal of cloth and with clear views on weave and weight. Contemporary tailoring is welcome at the reception but rarely at the ceremony.

We keep the ceremonial pieces strictly traditional, meaning pure silk, classic drape and restrained embroidery, and reserve modern silhouettes for the reception. Malleshwaram is a straightforward trip across the city to Basavanagudi, and clients here typically manage the full three-visit sequence.

Will you keep the ceremony outfit fully traditional?

Yes, and for Malleshwaram clients that is usually the brief. We keep ceremonial pieces to pure silk, a classic drape and restrained embroidery in the traditional cream, ivory, gold and deep red palette, and reserve contemporary silhouettes for the reception where they belong.

I already know the silk I want. Can you work with it?

Yes. Many Malleshwaram clients arrive having bought cloth on Sampige Road. We assess supplied silk for weight and weave against the garment intended, since a beautiful but very light cloth will not hold a structured line, and where it works we are glad to build with it.
