How It Works From New Jersey
The atelier and workshop are in Basavanagudi, Bengaluru, an international flight from New Jersey. Grooms around Edison, Jersey City, New York usually begin by video, confirm cloth before they fly, and use Express to fit measurements, a trial fitting and finishing into the days they have in India.
From New Jersey the trip to Bengaluru usually means a connection, so agree the garment, cloth and dates by video before you leave and have swatches couriered if needed. Express then fits measurements, a trial fitting and finishing into your days in India, and the finished garment can travel back with you for a reception in the United States.

Good to Know
India is nine and a half hours ahead of New Jersey during US daylight saving time and ten and a half hours ahead otherwise. The atelier’s hours of 11:00 AM to 8:30 PM IST fall late at night or early in the morning in New Jersey, so plan calls for those windows.
Finished garments can be sent with insured, tracked shipping, but courier transit and customs clearance add time, and import duties may apply. For a close date, carrying the garment back is safer.
Finished garments can go out with fully insured, tracked international shipping, but courier transit and customs clearance add days that no atelier schedule can remove, and any import duties are assessed by customs in the destination country. If the wedding is close, the safer route is a final fitting in Bengaluru and carrying the finished garment with you.
We regularly work with grooms and their families from Edison, Jersey City, New York and nearby parts of New Jersey, United States, though the atelier itself is in Basavanagudi, Bengaluru rather than in New Jersey directly. Wherever you are calling from, the process is the same: a video consultation first if useful, then an in-person visit timed to your travel, with Express moving your commission ahead in the queue once measurements are taken.
