"I come from the magical world of embroidery in Lucknow. The capital of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow is renowned for it exquisite chikankari embroidery work, so the technique and workmanship of most of my designs are inspired by our traditional embroidery art. But my motifs and style take their inspiration from many different walks of life.

"My designs are youthful and unique. I love every bit of my work. The challenges, effort and victories are what keep me going.

"Since I was a child, I've had an affinity for the intricacy and detail of hand work and this is what inspired me to take up designing. India has a rich tradition of textile and embroidery work and I wanted to showcase our art to the world. It was really challenging to start out on my own but my determination kept me going and, since 2000, I have successfully created apparel with my own label.

"I have a small group of people helping me, depending on the work demand, and we make a great team. We're always helping each other grow. My wife also helps me in my work. Every day is a learning experience and I have learned so much from my daily work. Over the years, I believe I have become a more sensible and mature person.

"We work mostly with cotton voile, cambric and crepe, which are difficult fabrics as they are very delicate. So, I would say, it's not an art which is all that easy. It needs a lot of dedication and determination."

Zoe

Light weight and so comfortable to wear. Will be buying another pair!

This tunic is beautiful and lightweight, perfect for our hot and humid summers. I love it so much that I just ordered another piece from this artisan.

Marlo

I ordered this shirt along with 4 others for my mother to wear in the height of the summer. They are really lovely, made of natural fabric and perfect weight for the humid, hot summers that we get here. Happy to purchase again if they come in other colors.

Elizabeth

I love this top for its embroidered details and light weight. The straps need to be reinforced though, as they did not last long ( I had to restitch them). But all in all a cute design for warm weather wear.

Karen

Comfortable and cute.

Karen

I have some of these and love them. This is an especially nice lilac color.

Martha

Very elegant style. Embroidery is beautiful but catches easily on jewelry.

Ann

These pants will be lovely for the summer. They fit nicely (the size chart was helpful) and because I usually wear petite the cropped length is a perfect full length for me. Love the embroidery, draw string elastic waist and pockets.

Anne

Really lovely blouse! I actually bought a backup because it's both pretty and practical. Grab one!

Linda

Very cool. stylish, and chic blouse. It is very well made and very pretty. Has two ties on the back to wear it tighter and loosely. Thank you, Mr.Shalabh you do a beautiful job.

Kathleen

Simple but beautiful blouse that fits like a dream. I love mixing and matching this top with different colored shorts & jeans Very comfortable. Well made. Rapid delivery. Loved gift packaging

Cathy

Great with summer tops. Mostly, I love wearing these under dresses for a cool, layered look. You could also use them as pj bottoms, as they are comfy and light and easily laundered. The embroidery is gorgeous and I've had lots of compliments. Hey, look--they've got pockets, too!

John

Love the color and style

Joan

This shirt is so well made and all cotton makes it cool and easy to wear. Thank you for your fine work.

Cathryn

This is such a beautiful and comfortable tunic.

Kathleen

This is a beautiful skirt, but if you generally choose L, try M. The skirt touches the floor when my 5'7"plus fraction of an inch frame is barefoot. The skirt has an elastic waistband. It's lined and has lots of swish. It would be hard to shorten.

Sara

This blouse is soft and made of really nice cotton. It feels good wearing it, and it's just beautiful

Rhondda

As soon as I received the shipment with this caftan and tried it on, I was in love with this item! White isn't usually my colour, and I have never actually worn a caftan before, so I wasn't completely sure how it would fit or look on me. However, the construction of this one is fantastic! The embroidery is beautiful, as well, and the elastic empire waist makes it very flattering! You do need to wear a camisole under it, as it is quite see-through otherwise, but that is easy enough to do. I feel quite certain that this item is not going to see the inside of my closet very much, with how often I will want to wear it! It is machine washable, so easy to take care of, too. This is the first item I have purchased from Shalabh, and already I am looking at his other items to see what should be next... Thank you; I love it!(Note: I have a 36" bust, and purchased the smallest size available - Small - which says 40" bust. I worried it would not fit well, but as I stated, it fits wonderfully!)

Jane C

These are very light weight should be lovely for a warm day. The bottoms have nice detailed work.

Marilyn

A wear anytime top with pants shorts skirts or leggings slightly see through

Carol

This is a gorgeous tunic. Well worth the price. The colors are brilliant and it looks as it's pictured. The size is as expected. I recommend it if you want to look special.

Beth

The product is as pictured, with a nice hand to the material that allows it to shape nicely.

Sonia

Exquisite workmanship, great details and finishing.

Karen

Beautiful olive green embroidery against a black cotton background ... perfect length to wear with leggings but would also look lovely with dress slacks or a long skirt. This will surely become a go-to tunic for me when I want to feel cool and comfy in cotton, and also any time I want to look elegant but not too formal. I love it!

Nansi

I'm a senior, and not nearly as lovely as the model, but the blouse is beautiful

Robert

My wife absolutely loves this garment. I know, especially when the weather warms again, that she will wear it often. The shade of lilac is one of her favorite colors and she loves the feel of the cotton on her skin. The craftsmanship is superb.

Diane

They fit wonderful and can be used at any time.

Abby

Beautiful color, perfect size and very comfortable. I am very, very happy with my purchase.

Sonja Rachel

This is such a stunning shirt-can't wait to wear it whilst traveling next Summer!

Virginia L

It is perfect, well made and fits very nicely. I ordered it in two colors and glad I did, especially comfortable in this blazing summer heat we had this summer 2021.

Eileen

This is a winner. Everything this artist does is superb. I've purchased many pieces from him and the fit, the color and the attention to detail are always superlative. I am a repeat customer. Do no hesitate to purchase any item from his collection. You won't be disappointed.

A lot of care went into creating this piece. It is beautiful, Somehow casual and elegant all at once.

A delicate blouse for a hot summer day to wear with jeans and/or shorts.Lace embellishments are beautiful.

Barb

Wash well, and stay white. Very fine cotton! The best-crafted blouses I've ever bought, anywhere!

Blu

Kiran

Nice design & color

Suzanne

very nice fit

Deborah L

This adorable white dress is right on trend with a slightly Victorian/vintage vibe

Katheryn

I gave this top to my daughter. The color is perfect on her. Also, the top is beautifully embroidered and has a lovely drape. It is as comfortable as a tee-shirt, but much more stylish.

Elizabeth

This lovely dress arrived today, all the way from India. I like its simplicity, and the embroidery is a nice touch. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, and great for a hot summer day. I ordered a size S and found it to be quite a loose fit (I normally wear size S or 4), but I think it would look nice too, with a belt. Looking forward to wearing it!

Nancy

This is such a pretty top. I immediately started receiving compliments on it. I wore it with a short skirt but it could easily go nicely with jeans, khakis or shorts as well. The style is a little oversized, I could probably have gotten away with medium instead of large. But the adjustable straps really let you customize how you wear it. It's just adorable and I'll wear it all summer. Very pretty eyelet pattern, light weight, crisp white. It was well packaged and protected for shipping.

Ruth

Lovely blouse, always get compliments.

Ruth

I intend to use as a camisole under semi sheer tunics

Mary

My daughter-in-law loves this tank, because it complements whatever she wears in whatever setting she is in.

Patricia

Beautiful material, great wide sweep, elegantly packaged in its own bag. Only "problem" is very long - will have to have it re-hemmed, but would not send it back because of length.

Lopamudra

I Love the work of Artists.

Lisa

Very nice top but runs large

Penelope

I am so pleased with his lovely top. The fabric is light and airy, the design is elegant, and the workmanship is excellent. I wore it to an Independence Day party last night and received many compliments and inquiries as to where I got it. I will definitely order from Novice again and will recommend to my friends.

Marie

This wa a gift and was receied ery well by the person. They absolutely loed this blouse.
