K&A began the way most quiet houses do — between two people who saw the same picture before either said it aloud. Karishma and Ashita built this atelier in 2016 on a simple conviction: that a bride's clothing should be made with intention, considered stitch by stitch, rather than assembled off a rack. What started as an instinct between friends is now a Santacruz, Mumbai atelier, where every lehenga, every corset, every draped silhouette begins as a private conversation — long before it becomes a garment.
