The heart behind the seams
Who is a Sakha?
Sakha means a dear friend, a true and lasting companion. Sakha is a true and lasting companion woven into the fabric of life. Through every custom couture creation, we offer more than just clothing.
Two decades of calling the UAE home
For more than twenty summers, the UAE has been our home. In that time we've carried the soul of India's natural, traditional fabrics to the UAE cities - Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Ras-Al-Khaimah, and shaped them into custom couture for the women who wear them.
We've never thought of ourselves as a shop. We've dressed our clients for first days at work and seats at the boardroom table, for festivals and weddings, and we're still beside them as each new chapter opens. Friendship comes first, and clothes follow. That is what we mean by more than just clothes.
What we hope to weave
To keep India's heritage weaves breathing in modern UAE wardrobes, to shape every couture piece around the woman rather than the season's whims, and to be the companion you think of first for every occasion of your life.
Natural fabrics that look after you through UAE summers
Our summers are long and generous with their warmth, so we choose natural fibres that let your skin breathe, rather than synthetics that hold the heat close.
-
Muga silk, the gold of Assam
The golden silk of Assam, glowing with a lustre no dye could imitate. Light, smooth and graceful for evenings and celebrations.
-
Eri silk, the gentle peace silk
Known as peace silk, Eri is soft, matte and breathable, keeping you company through warm afternoons and cool air-conditioned interiors alike.
-
Cotton, the everyday friend
Fresh, breathable and gentle. Handloom cotton drinks in the warmth of the day and keeps you at ease from morning to night.
-
Linen, a breeze you can wear
Crisp, airy and quick to dry. Linen lets a breeze travel with you, and grows softer every time you wear it.
How we look after you
Couture leasing for our Sakhas
Our most treasured couture pieces are lent to our Sakhas for their moment in the spotlight, so you can wear something extraordinary to a wedding, festival or gala without having to keep it forever.
Why our doors open only to the Circle
Each couture piece is one of a kind and handled with great care. Leasing only within the Sakha Circle means we already know your measurements and style, every garment is fitted, cleaned and restored between outings, and pieces stay rare, so you'll never meet your own outfit across the room.
Alterations, with our compliments
Our in-house tailors gently coax every garment into a perfect fit, and for our clients, it never costs a dirham.
Custom couture and designer home services
We bring the atelier to your doorstep: design consultations and fittings in the comfort of your own home, across the UAE cities - Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Ras-Al-Khaimah.
