Love Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s Outfits? Here Are Highstreet Offerings You'll Like
Kalki Fashion
Kalki Fashion is like a huge online shopping mall for Indian & ethnic clothing. You'll find pieces that look luxurious at affordable pricing. Not just lehengas, you'll also find kurtis, salwar kameez, anarkalis, blouses, and much more. From pure silk Banarasi, Jaipuri gota, and Lucknowi chikankari, Kalki has over 500 artisans on board to create these traditional handcrafted pieces.
Price: Lehengas start at INR 23,940
Karagiri
If Deepika’s (many) elegant sarees are what sold you on the Sabyasachi hype, then we have something for you that will deliver on the beauty and save you on the buck. Karagiri’s silk sarees are regal and evergreen, and an investment that will last you for ages. But if Banarasi silk is not your vibe, then you’d be happy to know that they have a bunch of different options such as floral, digital prints, ajrakh, chiffon, satin silk, and much more.
Price: Sarees start at INR 6,000 but have discounts running right now.
Zari Banaras
This red royal georgette embroidered lehenga by Zari Banaras, is a pleasant reminder of Sabyasachi’s latest Heritage Bridal collection that is all about celebrating the classics. Zari Banaras is a brand that prides in rejuvenating the ancient and rich history of zari (thread of gold) with their signature handcrafted and embroidered lehengas that showcase a lot of traditional weaves and intricate designs. At a much lower price point, but with a similar appeal, this brand gets a thumbs up.
Price: Lehengas start at INR 16,999
Ethnos
They are a 100% online platform that offer direct-to-consumer ethnic apparel. At first glance, you’ll notice a lot of heavy, intricate, and traditional embroidery that is very Sabyasachi like. Most of their lehengas are adorned with flower motifs or inspired by ancient Rajputana arches. We love this white gota and zarkan work choli-lehenga set, which strikes the perfect balance between minimal and over-the-top bridal wear, while also keeping up with the ivory and gold bridal trend.
Price: Lehengas start at INR 6,999
Manyavar
Whether it is a close wedding you have to attend or one you do just for the buffet, it is safe to assume that Manyavar would have an appropriate outfit for it. This popular brand is known for staying on top of trends while also making those trends accessible to the masses. Don’t expect Sabyasachi’s quality or distinctiveness, but expect to find something you would like, for sure.
Price: Lehengas start at INR 14,999
Odette
Adding pops of colour to their outfits, but much like Sabyasachi, not going overboard with mixing and matching is Odette's forte. The price range for this brand goes up to INR 22,000, which for a wedding, we say, isn’t too much. Check out their net lehenga sets that come with heavy sequins and embroidery. Similar to Sabyasachi, they don’t use too many contrasting colours. Emulating the designer’s style, you’ll also find versions of the prints he uses, but in a digital print. You’ll also get heavy dupattas, just like the Kolkata couturier, but of course, at a fraction of the price.
Price: Lehengas start at INR 4,000
LBB Tip: Odette also has matching bags and accessories to go with the outfits, so don’t miss out on that.
Koskii
Want to look straight out of a Bollywood film? Head on over to Koskii for all sorts of special occasions. They’ve got grand lehengas with heavy hand or machine embroidery work on them, that will make you look and feel like Alia Bhatt. From classic choli-style and crop tops to the halter neck and corset designs, Koskii also has categorised the outfits into different occasions, making it super easy to shop. The raw silk and stonework outfits remind us most of Sabyasachi’s collections, but this brand is quite flashy for the most part.
Price: Lehengas start at INR 4,500
Subhvastra
Subhvastra translates to Occasion Wear and this online brand does a whole range of trendy, gorgeous, and affordable lehenga-cholis, sarees, kurta-palazzo, and Indo-western dresses for all kinds of occasions. You’ll find bridal lehengas that feature exquisite embroidery and sequins work along with every shade out there – from navy blue to deep red, and maroon and light pink. One piece that caught our eye was this velvet maroon birdal lehenga-choli with double dupatta.
Price: Lehengas start at INR 1,999
Seeaash
Couture and pretwear online brand Seeaash will have all you lovely ladies dressing like a million bucks with their collection of lehengas on the big day. Oh, and other occasions too – engagement, reception, sangeet, and even when you are the bride’s friend. You’ll find options that feature prints and patterns – mostly floral – as well as ones featuring heavy embroidery work and sequin work. We even spotted options that have mirror work. There are options such as saree sets and lehenga with suit sets as well.
Price: Lehengas start at INR 24,500
