The Summer House designs beautiful clothes for small occasions - dinners, cocktail evenings, elegant house parties, art gatherings - crafted by skilled hands using time-honoured techniques, in luxurious fabrics that are easy to care for. Our garments are crafted in luxurious natural fabrics - silks, linens, fine cottons and innovative blends - chosen not just for how they look, but for how they live. Thoughtfully constructed to feel elevated yet effortless, these are pieces that look considered, travel well, and are easy to care for, making them as practical as they are refined. We design for women who value taste over trend and intelligence over excess. The Summer House sits comfortably in the in‑between - neither everyday basics nor traditional Indian occasion wear. Our silhouettes are modern, fluid and intentional, made for social settings where you want to feel put together without feeling overdone. Each piece is designed to earn its place in your wardrobe. These are clothes you reach for repeatedly - styled differently for work, dinners, holidays or evenings out - rather than worn once and forgotten. Beauty, for us, is not about spectacle; it is about confidence, comfort, and the ease of knowing exactly what to wear.
Artisan Partnership
Our biggest passion is working with rural artisans to sustain traditional craft techniques and textiles. By collaborating directly with them or partnering with vetted local NGOs that provide assistance to them we help vulnerable craft communities move away from exploitative practices. Thus far, we have an ongoing partnership with 17 craft clusters across India that enables us to design original textiles and handmade garments. Our aim is to bridge the gap between age old craftsmanship and modern wardrobes.
Sustainability
We work with high quality, responsibly made fabrics - with a preference for handwoven, organic and modern explorations like ECONYL regenerated nylon and ethical tencel. We are constantly looking for innovative ways to uphold the highest ethical and environmental standards.
Focus On Quality
A big part of mindful fashion is post sale garment life and care. Our clothes are made to last year after year. We encourage you to see our handcrafted styles as heritage pieces that can be passed onto the next generation. All our clothes are machine or hand wash and do not require dry cleaning.
