Hundreds of NRI patrons in New Jersey, Houston, Bay Area, Atlanta, Dallas, Seattle, Chicago and Boston shop their sarees with us without ever stepping into a flight. A 45-minute video viewing from our Hyderabad atelier, FedEx insured shipping in 5 to 7 working days, written certificate of authenticity, and US sizing for the blouse, same purity and curation as if you were in Jubilee Hills.
All sarees are invoiced in INR at the live exchange rate (we will share the USD conversion before payment). Typical price bands: daily handloom Banarasi $200,$600, pure Kanjivaram $450,$1,400, bridal Banarasi $850,$5,500, bridal Kanjivaram $1,500,$6,000. Shipping to the US: $55,$95 by insured FedEx. US customs duty on personal-use saree shipments under $800 is zero, see the de minimis rule.
Two ways. Option A: send us a well-fitting blouse you already own and we will pattern from it (FedEx return-paid). Option B: a local tailor takes the 16-point body chart we send (we walk them through it on a 10-min video) and emails it to us. We routinely fit bridal blouses across the US with both methods; fit guarantee applies.
Seven-day inspection window from FedEx delivery, original tags intact, full refund (less shipping) for any reason. For blouses: if the fit is off after our pattern, we will re-cut at no charge with a second round of FedEx (we cover both legs of shipping). Remakes are rare.
For a US bride planning a Hyderabad-sourced bridal trousseau, the rule of thumb is six months before the wedding. That leaves time for the video viewing (week 1), saree selection and blouse measurements (week 2), bridal blouse stitching and embroidery (weeks 3 to 7), final approval video (week 8), and shipping plus buffer (weeks 9 to 10). For ready pieces, two to three weeks total is comfortable.
