About Dishiv

Dishiv is a menswear label built around a single garment: the kurta. Founded in Surat, it grew out of a simple observation that most kurtas ask their wearer to choose between comfort and occasion. Dishiv was started to remove that choice, with pieces cut clean enough for a working day and finished well enough for the evening after it.

Our collections are made from fine silk, Chanderi and Khadi, sourced by the piece from weaving clusters in Benares, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Every kurta set is individually cut and tailored by hand in our Jaipur studio, then hand block-printed or embroidered at the placket, cuff and hem - the three places a kurta is actually looked at. Nothing is produced in volume; collections stay short by design.

The range spans mirror work kurtas, embroidered silk kurta sets, Patiala sets, Nehru jackets and Raja koti sets, across festive, wedding and everyday wear. Pieces are offered ready to ship in sizes 38 to 46, with a real measurement chart in inches on every product, and the height and size of the model photographed wearing it.

Dishiv sells directly to its clients, online across India, with free shipping on orders above ₹1999 and a small team that answers its own messages. Between the loom and the person wearing it, we would rather have as few hands as possible - and be able to name each of them.

Our Mission

Selling clothes was never the point on its own. Dishiv exists to dress the days that matter — the wedding, the pooja, the first evening of a festival — with pieces that carry some weight of tradition without feeling borrowed from it. We want the kurta you reach for on those days to be ours, and to still be worth reaching for years later.

Our aim is to become one of India's most considered contemporary menswear houses: handwork kept alive at a fair price, style and restraint held in the same garment, and craft treated as the product rather than the marketing. Every collection we release is measured against that, and cut short when it does not meet it.

What we stand for

  1. Craftsmanship first

    Hand block printing, hand embroidery and hand finishing, done by craftspeople we work with directly rather than through an agent.

  2. Short collections

    Few pieces, made properly, instead of a catalogue nobody finishes scrolling. Each style has to earn its place.

  3. Honest pricing

    One fair price for the work in the garment. No inflated tag kept waiting for a festive discount.

  4. Made in India

    Cloth woven in India, printed and embroidered in India, tailored in Surat - start to finish, without exception.

Founded with purpose

Dishiv began with a gap we kept running into as buyers ourselves. Occasion menswear in India splits in two: couture priced beyond most people, or unbranded pieces that are affordable but have no point of view and no finishing to speak of.

We started Dishiv to sit in between - handwork, honest cloth and a considered cut, priced so a man buying one good kurta for a wedding is not choosing between his budget and his taste.

The intent is a label that outlasts a trend cycle: known for how its garments are made rather than how loudly they are sold.

Production at Dishiv

Production begins with the fabric. We work directly with mills and weaving clusters to source cloth that feels as good as it looks - chosen for texture, durability and how it moves when worn.

Each garment is cut and stitched with precision, so the structure holds without stiffness. Embroideries are developed in-house, blending resham, zari and hand detailing with contemporary placements at the placket, cuff and hem.

Every stage, from first sample to final press, is supervised by the same small team - which is how consistency survives handwork.

We believe in hand-crafted heritage

Behind every piece is a person: a printer setting a teak block by eye, a karigar laying mirror work by hand, a tailor who has cut the same collar a thousand times and still checks it against the pattern.

Keeping that work paid and in practice is the point of the brand, not a detail of it. When you buy a Dishiv kurta, you are buying a few days of somebody's craft - and we would like you to know whose.
