Fancy Stories

More Than Fashion - It's a  Crafted Experience At Fancy Pastels, we don’t just design clothes; we create art you can wear. Every co-ord, dress, top or kurta is born in our studio, designed from scratch, stitched with care, and finished with artisanal printing. For us, affordable luxury means making fashion that feels indulgent but remains accessible, a blend of craftsmanship, heritage, and timeless style.   Designing Prints from Scratch We design every print in-house. Our creative team sketches motifs, patterns, and colour palettes inspired by travel, culture, and nature. These artworks then come alive in Sanganer, the textile capital of Rajasthan, where artisans use hand screen printing, block printing, clamp dyeing, and tie & dye to turn them into fabrics. Each print you wear is exclusive to Fancy Pastels,  you won’t see it anywhere else.   Four Crafts That Define Our Process Hand Screen Printing – Precision layers of colour applied by hand, adding depth and vibrancy. Hand Block Printing – Wooden blocks carved and stamped, celebrating centuries of Rajasthani tradition. Clamp Dyeing – Bold, geometric patterns created by folding, clamping, and dyeing fabric. Tie & Dye – Organic bursts of colour, each piece a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.   Crafted in Jaipur, Printed in Sanganer Our Jaipur studio is where every garment is cut, stitched, and finished. Our Sanganer printing unit is where fabrics are brought to life. By keeping everything in-house, we ensure transparency, fair wages, and uncompromised quality.   Why This Is Affordable Luxury Exclusive Prints: Designed by us, for you, no duplicates. Artisan Touch: Every piece carries the signature of handcraft, not machines. Slow Fashion, Fair Pricing: Small-batch production with prices that reflect value, not markup.   Global Reach, Local Roots From Jaipur’s studio to wardrobes in USA, UAE, Singapore, Australia, and UK, Fancy Pastels carries the soul of Rajasthan across the world. Each order is more than fashion; it’s art and heritage  in motion.   Founder’s Note — From Aditi’s Desk "For me, Fancy Pastels has always been about more than just clothes. It’s about honouring the crafts I grew up around, while giving them a modern stage. Every print you see, whether hand block, screen, clamp dye, or tie & dye, is imagined by us first. We don’t pick from catalogs, we create. We work with our team in Sanganer and Jaipur to bring those designs to life from scratch. Affordable luxury, to me, means you don’t have to chase labels to feel special. True luxury is knowing the story of the fabric on your skin, who printed it, who dyed it, who stitched it. That’s the story Fancy Pastels tells with every piece." — Aditi Nahar Bhatia, Co-Founder, Fancy Pastels Your Invitation to Wear Art When you choose Fancy Pastels, you’re choosing prints designed exclusively in-house, printed in Sanganer, and stitched in Jaipur.

In a world where fast fashion dominates with speed and volume, we choose something slower, more thoughtful — and infinitely more meaningful. At Fancy Pastels, we proudly follow a made-to-order clothing model. But what does that really mean? Simply put, your dress isn't made until you place an order. No mass production, no overflowing landfills, and no overstock wastage. Just handcrafted clothing made with love, for you. The Hidden Cost of Fast Fashion You may not see it when you scroll through new arrivals, but the fashion industry is one of the biggest contributors to pollution. Here’s how: Water Waste: One cotton shirt can take over 700 gallons of water to make. A single pair of jeans? Up to 2,000 gallons. Plus, textile dyeing is the second-largest polluter of water globally. Microplastics: Synthetic materials like polyester and nylon shed microplastics every time you wash them. These tiny plastic pieces end up in our oceans — forever. Energy Emissions: The process of turning fossil fuels into synthetic fibers releases harmful gases and toxins. Even cotton, often seen as eco-friendly, uses pesticides that are dangerous for both farmers and the planet. Why We Chose Slow Fashion Our answer to this crisis? Slow fashion. Our garments are made one by one, only after you order. This ensures minimal waste and a low environmental footprint. Here’s how made-to-order clothing helps: Reduces overproduction and unsold stock. Saves water, fabric, and resources. Supports mindful consumption and longer-lasting clothing. Allows us to use ethical, eco-conscious materials and techniques. Each piece you wear from Fancy Pastels — whether it’s our breezy co ord sets for women, flowy summer dresses, or comfortable travel outfits — is artisan-made clothing with a purpose. What You’re Really Wearing You're not just wearing a dress. You're wearing: A block-printed memory. A conscious decision. A softer future. We see our clothes as part of your holiday capsule wardrobe — timeless pieces that travel with you. Whether you’re heading on a road trip or a long beach break, our vacation wear is designed to feel light, breathable, and beautiful. Every travel dress is stitched with intention. Every order is a quiet rebellion against waste. How You Can Help As consumers, your power matters. Here's how to support this journey toward a healthier planet: Choose slow fashion and brands that offer handcrafted clothing and made-to-order clothing. Embrace minimalism with a holiday capsule wardrobe and re-wear your favorite summer vacation wear. Reduce plastic usage, recycle, compost, and shop mindfully. Support artisans and local businesses.

We know — it’s a bold statement. But we mean it. In a world dominated by 2-day deliveries and mass production, we choose to slow down. As a small, made-to-order clothing brand, we believe that fashion should be thoughtful, not rushed. That every piece should hold a story — not just a price tag. Over the past year, we’ve seen the rise of fast fashion and with it, the sharp increase in textile waste, pollution, and disregard for the planet. And while we know we’re just one brand, what truly makes a difference is you — the consumer, the conscious buyer, the change-maker. So today, let’s talk about what makes us different — and why we may not be for everyone. At Fancy Pastels, everything you see is made to order, which means your vacation wear doesn’t exist until you choose it. The process begins when you place an order. Only then do we source the raw cotton or muslin silk fabric, begin hand-block printing, allow the colors to set and dry, and finally cut, sew, and finish the garment before shipping it out. This process takes about 15–20 days. Why? Because we don't mass-produce. We don’t believe in waste. We believe in craftsmanship. Each of our pieces, made from flowy cotton summer dresses, co-ord sets for women, and dreamy midi dresses, handmade by skilled artisans who take pride in their work. It’s slow fashion at its finest. No factory rush. No seasonal dumping. Just thoughtfully handcrafted clothing that feels as good to wear as it does to create. Whether you're curating a holiday capsule wardrobe, packing for your next trip, or looking for a timeless travel dress, we’re here to offer something real: vacation wear that celebrates stories, skills, and sustainability. If you’re someone who needs their clothes yesterday, we may not be the right fit. But if you believe that fashion should be purposeful, that each thread should carry the warmth of human hands and a little bit of heart, then welcome to our world. We may be small, but we care deeply. About the planet, about people, and about the power of thoughtful fashion. So, if this resonated with you, don’t stop here. Explore our collection of breathable cotton summer dresses, holiday dresses, and breezy co-ord sets. Whether you’re dressing for a beach escape or a café stroll, we’ve got a travel dress for every kind of adventure. Choose handcrafted clothing that feels like sunshine, stitched with soul.
