Conceived as an epitome of the traditional, elegant and contemporary, Shehnaai is a platform for all things celebratory. The brainchild of entrepreneurial couple Shirin and Sanjeev Vinayak, the boutique is NY’s first Indian Couture House nurtured by the creative synergy of some of India’s greatest talent.

Shehnaai boasts of the latest collections from a pot-pourri of established and upcoming designers. While labels such as Ritu Kumar, Satya Paul, Payal Singhal and Neeta Bhargava adorn the racks, newcomers such as Puravi Modgil and Indian Itch are also given a platform. Each of the over 13 designers has a brand presence in India just like a Liz Claiborne or a Gucci would have in the local American Market and recognition of the designer’s individuality is encouraged. Carrying an assortment of designers gives the boutique a much greater variety and keeps it completely in time with the fashion trends of India.

Each season, Shehnaai unveils a new collection in the latest designs personally selected from each of the labels along with jewelry and accessories to complement the ensembles. Special consultation with the designers in India is made possible for custom Bridal Wear and Trousseau pieces. Brides can be actively involved in every aspect of the designing process for their outfits, from looking at color swatches to confirming an embroidery sample.

With its unique product line, personalized service and marketing through the various Designer Trunk Shows and Fashion Shows hosted by them each season, the Designer House takes you closer to the Indian Designer Fashion World without having to cross the seas.
