Founder's note
Fashion has always been woven into the fabric of my life. Some of my earliest memories are of playing with my mom’s exquisite handloom sarees, captivated by their textures and colors. Fashion spoke to me in ways words couldn’t, and as I grew up, Bollywood and Hollywood films deepened my love for it. I dreamed of immersing myself in the world of fashion, but life took a different turn. Inspired by Shah Rukh Khan in Veer-Zaara, I pursued a career in law, practicing for over nine years. Yet, fashion remained my constant passion.
Drawn to the brilliance of designers like Sabyasachi Mukherjee, I realized it was never too late to chase my dreams. Three years ago, I took the leap, studying fashion design at Pearl Academy, Delhi. The journey was transformative—I learned not only the technical skills but also how to bring my creative vision to life. After years of planning and preparation, I launched Dalma in July 2024 - a luxury label that reflects my love for elegance and timeless beauty.
At Dalma, we are more than just a fashion brand. We aim to give women confidence, identity, and the beauty they deserve through each carefully crafted piece. With a small but dedicated team, we offer seasonal collections that blend modern trends with classic craftsmanship, along with bespoke couture for special occasions. Dalma is the embodiment of my dream, and I’m here to make every woman feel truly special.
