WELCOME TO DIPALI KREATIONS!

After passing my Chartered Accountancy exams without any hassles, getting married and having been blessed with two children, I had everything that I wanted with God's blessings!
A few made-to-order free projects that I did for my friends and relatives brought me a profound realisation that womanhood is not just about fashion, colours and fragrances, but is more deep-rooted in the form of creativity, design, culture and elegance. At one point of time in life,I witnessed a transition within myself as a woman and slowly and gradually,DIPALI KREATIONS started taking shape with all support from my husband and family. For me, it is not a source of livelihood! It is my hobby and passion!It is my journey of womanhood!
I do not own a factory nor is a gang of tailors working for me. My resources are limited; but not my creativity, commitment and passion! My speed is limited due to the fact that I am not into this as a full-time business. But the quality of work that you will get from me shall be second to none.
Since, I am involved with this since 2006, over a period of time, I have hand-picked a few craftsmen (kaarigars) who work for me because of the work that I take from them, because of the skillful projects that I bring on the drawing-board. I do not own a shop nor do I keep a ready-made collection. Hence, I may not be able to show you a variety of samples or stock that you may find in some shops! In fact, I don't intend to do so, since to me, you are a unique and special woman and I do not want to provide you anything old and obsolete.
All what I do is to listen to a client's requirement first, know more about her in terms of her culture, life-style, tastes and then, start working on a project, if I personally enjoy it. Sometimes, unfortunately, I am forced to decline if my hands are full or the project does not sound exciting to me. However, many of my clients book me much in advance, so it helps us both! So please don't be offended if I am unable to accept your project. Once I take up your project, I am involved in it with all my creativity,dedication,enthusiasm and professionalism. Every project is special to meand I put my heart and soul into it. One thing I can assure you 100% is the quality of the materials that I use. Being extremely choosy myself, I cannot tolerate anything less than 100%. Every single product that I design and deliver is made from authentic hand-picked materials from remote places of India. Thanks to my intermittent training and proximity to the skilled craftsmen!
That is the main reason why I am proud to have distinguished clients from USA and UK, apart from India. Though most of my clients are individual women, I also have men buying from me for gifting the special women in their lives! I also work for one of the State Governments of India.
When I am working on a product, it is not just the fabric, the texture and the colours; but also the purpose of the product and the personal characteristic of the user that I keep in mind.Chromatic and colour psychology are eually emphasized.
The needles, yarn and threads that are used for every single embroidery project; be it Chikankari, Marodi or Zardozi, are best in quality and are personally audited(!) by me regularly. Block-printing, bed and kitchen-linen and small gift-articles and accessories are part of the gamut of Dipali Kreations!
There are 1,10,000 kinds of smells in nature.The soaps at Dipali Kreations are not just about smell, but more importantly about health, body-odour and its effects on skin, mind and body.
Let my work speak and not words! You are invited to interact with me and I would be more than happy to give you contact details of my clients from whom you can directly take feedback for my work!
Don't just appreciate the looks or beauty of my products, but also please understand and appreciate the craftsmanship, hard-work, commitment, creativity and passion that go into every single product before it goes into the hands of the user.
To me, Dipali Kreations is more of a journey and not a destination and I invite you all to join me in this journey.WILL YOU JOIN ME NOW?
Looking forward to your feedback and comments,
Creatively yours,
Dipali Kothari
