My bill was supposed to be 10000 and when I went to collect the order..it all amounted to 17000..I was baffled..The bill you get in the end will be entirely different from the budget you’ve shared with them. I was charged an additional 7000 rupees. I had clearly mentioned my budget and I had contacted them regularly for updates. I had asked them what the total amount was and the amount they shared was within my budget and I agreed. Only when I went to collect my order did I know that the amount they told me was only for the designing they did on my blouse and the stitching charges and other charges were not included. What is the point of the so called “budget” then?????? When asked about total amount who in the world would say the cost for a particular section of the entire work. Is that acceptable? They said that they would share the design once stitched but they didn’t. I called them And asked to share it. when I saw the photo it was totally different from what I expected and I asked them to fix it. For this they said it would cost an additional 1500 rupees and I had agreed and in the bill it was displayed 2700. For this they gave an explanation that it was only an approximate amount and it took more time and such lame excuses. If the work was to cost additional amount shouldn’t the customer be informed prior? Can you just put some random amount in the bill? I called for clarification and they said they would call back and they never did. No wonder!!!! My brother was getting married in less than 2 days and I had no choice other than to accept it . Had it not been urgent I would have left it there and just walked out of the place. Will NEVER EVER GO BACK OR SUGGEST THIS...

Read moreMy Mother and I have been their customers for over 8 years now. They are absolutely professional and one of top notch designer boutiques in Ernakulam. They have at their disposal fashion designers and artisans with impeccable taste and craftsmanship which truly makes them who they are. They are my go to people in case I need anything custom designed. I got all of my wedding outfits done there too. Swapna (the Founder and owner) was personally available and over saw the whole process for my outfits. They also have the provision for you to book the outfit delivery dates in advance in case it's a festive season/wedding season (saves a lot of time and prompt deliveries are guaranteed).
Swathy (Fashion designer), Sreeja Chechi, Dhanya Chechi, Sheeba Chechi and Priya Chechi are some of my favorite people to work with at Swapna Manthra purely because of their sheer dedication, knowledge about fabrics, design and aesthetic sense, integrity, friendly and professional approach. Thank you so much for all the love, kindness and design sense you have passed on to me over these years. ❤️
It is a little expensive to get stitching done here, but quality and perfection comes with years of experience and they provide both. So I'd recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good place to get their outfits custom designed in or around...
