When you think of Indian designers, visions of intricate sarees, ornate lehengas, and hand-embroidered kurtas likely spring to mind. While we are huge fans of Indian traditional wear, we also love designers who honour culture and tradition and are reshaping that point of view with modern silhouettes with global appeal, distinct design identities, and price points that don’t break the bank.

These brands marry India’s unmatched craftsmanship with contemporary cuts, inventive prints, and striking colour palettes. They’re also impressively size-inclusive, with many offering customisation and extending up to 6XL, still a rarity in mainstream fashion. Every label ships internationally and, best of all, every piece is under $800.

Here are six standout designers, personally handpicked by Moushumi Khara, Personal Stylist at The Lifestyle Editor.
