Utsav Continues to Promote the Vanishing Arts and Crafts of India

May 8th, 2008 by UTSAV

For Utsav, every moment of life, festival or business is an utsav. Through our manufacturing base in Jaipur and online sales at utsavsarees.com, we are not only fulfilling the fashion needs of our privileged customers but also we are promoting many arts and crafts which are dwindling due to fierce business competition or due to change in the tastes of fellow humans.

For instance, oriental fashion tastes are showing a shift towards westernized outfits. The reasons for this gradual shift of fashion tastes occurring over the past few decades are many. As a result of this transformation, many arts and crafts which once used to flourish in India have now vanished or are on the verge of extinction. Utsav feels good to have its origin in the magnificent land of kings and queens who admired, bolstered and gave patronage to these arts and crafts.

Our customers in India and overseas have a great liking for the fine embroidery weaved in our sarees, lehenga cholis and salwaar kameez. The ladies express awe when they see the subtleness of hand embroidery. Similarly they adore our kundan jewellery once they receive their selection from utsavsarees.com. In the era of machines, Utsav has tried, with success, to promote the ancient arts and crafts in a competitive global fashion industry.

We also promote traditional footwear for ladies, gentlemen and kids at utsavsarees.com. While making a typical Rajasthani footwear, our skilled artists are using different materials like cloth, plastic, wood from eco-friendly sources and leather. The designs in print and weave show Rajasthani culture.

Likewise, some of our elegant purses and handbags are made by tribals who have been trained to meet the manufacturing standards of Utsav. 

Utsav continues to promote the ancient arts and crafts in villages, tribes, towns and cities through its manufacturing base in Jaipur and direct online global sales at utsavsarees.com. It has been possible only through the purchases made by like minded and benevolent customers like you.

Without you, Utsav would not have been able to promote these ancient arts and crafts of India.

Online Shopping at Utsav is Fuel Saving and Eco-Friendly

May 8th, 2008 by UTSAV

Whenever you shop online at utsavsarees.com, you are indirectly helping in conservation of clean and green environment. We explained this to an inquisitive darling daughter while she was purchasing a trendy purse for her mother on the utsav of Mother’s Day.

Since neither you nor we use any paper while making any online transaction, we are not destroying the trees which are the ultimate sources to paper. Whereas if you shop from any physical sales outlet, there is so much of paper work including copies of bills for the customer, the seller and the accounts. Utsav has converted all traditional paper bills into online bills.

Besides, the paper bills pile up with your other receipts, vouchers, etc. and you need extra space to store them. Even, we at Utsav, were experiencing the same problem. With the introduction of our online sales facility at utsavsarees.com, all of our bills are now stored on secure and confidential servers. You can also save a copy of your e-bill sent by us and your online transaction details sent by the credit card company in your free email inbox. You do not even have to buy an extra CD.

Also when you shop online at our utsavsarees.com, you have eliminated the use of your private transport or the public transport needed to visit the sales outlets in congested markets and crowded malls. Thus you are not using the fuel needed for your vehicle. And we all know about the astronomical increase in the price of oil these days. Don’t we?

Owing to the fuel consumed by private and public transport, there is emission of greenhouse gases into the environment, as a result of which we are facing the hazards of climate change and global warming.

With all these small but useful environmental friendly activities of yours, you are indirectly helping the environment to keep it clean and green.

Utsav always supports and welcomes your environmental friendly online shopping.

No Guilt and No Worry If You Do Not Purchase at Utsav

May 5th, 2008 by UTSAV

One of the displeasures of shopping in small stores, local markets, weekly bazaars, or even in the crowded mega departmental stores is a feeling of hidden guilt which a customer carries as he / she leaves the sales outlet without making any purchase. But with online shopping at utsavsarees.com, you do not have to worry or feel guilty even if you decide not to buy anything after browsing through more than 20000 designs of dresses and more than 2000 jewellery designs.
 
Everybody enters a street store with an idea of making a definite purchase. Sometimes we have a predetermined list of shopping items while sometimes we just want to have a look for buying later on. However it happens quite often that we do not like anything of our choice and thus have to quit our shopping efforts before moving on to another store. Many of our privileged customers shared the same story with us. Either they felt embarrassed or were made to feel embarrassed by the sales people working in the street store. We realized their pains and brought a very friendly and interactive online purchase system at Utsavsarees.com where the customers feel relaxed and free of tension while shopping at Utsav.
 
The moment you login to our online fashion rendezvous at utsavsarees.com, you will be amazed by the diversity of collection. For your ease of selection, we have organized our products into various categories. You can directly click the link of your choice according to you shopping needs, be it for the ladies, the men’s or the children’s wear. Further we realized that customers prefer to do independent shopping at Utsavsarees.com in contrast to interrogation by rude and noisy salesmen in a street store. So we have also organized online shopping by occasion, colour, material, look, work and your price range. We also highlight latest arrivals and daily deals.
 
Utsav has eliminated all the psychological fears and stigmas which our customers were experiencing while shopping in crowded markets, exhibitions and departmental stores. We do not hide the price tag which is done in many sales outlets. Utsav does not believe in ripping off but in reaping the benefits of a good mutual faith between our privileged customers and us.
 
Our excellent quality, reasonable price and latest designs of dresses and jewellery continues to make Utsav the “Numero Uno” in online shopping for your fashion needs.

Once she parked her car, she realized that her suffering in the shopping store was yet to get started. She had to spend hours in finding a dress for herself in a store having only a handful of designs. She was left with no choice but to make a compromise with her selection. Then the poor lady had to stand and wait for a trial in a queue with other restless customers who wanted to quickly get out of the store somehow. Often the dress she tried did not fit her body size. We take great care of our customers’ valuable time. Our online shopping at Utsavsarees.com can be completed in less than 5 minutes.

Now Customized Clothing at Utsav

May 3rd, 2008 by UTSAV

God has made every human beautiful. Your clothing has to match your beauty. At Utsav, we take special care about your clothing needs. Ready made garments often come in small, medium, large and extra large sizes. If your body does not conform to these standard sizes, you have no option but to accept and buy it.

Our privileged customers brought this problem to our attention. Some skinny women had to wear petite salwar kameez which they bought from vendors and still the clothing looked loose on them. And some obese women found their dresses too tight even though they had bought double extra large size from other stores. This was making our beautiful ladies loose confidence and charm in social gatherings. Our Utsav designers and tailors solved this problem too. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. And for Utsav, all of its customers are beautiful.

With our manufacturing unit in Jaipur, we are customizing and tailoring your dress according to your body size. You just have to email us your measurements. Our professional fashion designers and expert tailors will make the dress according to your liking. You can also choose our designs from Utsavsarees.com or email your own design which you want specially for your dress. Thus you will be the only beautiful lady to wear your own design and size on planet Earth.

Moreover if you want a body hugging dress for a special party, we can cater to your special needs when you direct us online at Utsavsarees.com. We have trendy designers who will suggest you the right attire for you on a particular occasion or Utsav.

Often our online customers need the customized clothes in a week so they could wear their fancy new dress on a special Utsav. Our entire crew in designing, tailoring, packing and delivery have been working round the clock so that you can receive your dress within 48 hours of your online purchase at Utsavsarees.com. We even have a flexible refund and exchange policy when dresses are purchased by means of express delivery.

Whatever be your body size, Utsav will dress you beautifully, as you are beautiful.

A Masterpiece Creation at Utsav

April 30th, 2008 by UTSAV

Utsav has its manufacturing hub in Jaipur – the pink city of India and the land of the Rajas or the kings. The ancient kings and the queens of India were very much fashionable. Their costumes were made by professional designers and skilled tailors. And their jewellery matched their clothing and moods. They chose their fine jewellery not only for adorning their looks but also to radiate the charisma of the gems embedded in jewellery and apparel.

In tune with our traditional and contemporary Indian fashion, we, at Utsav, have continued to imbibe the glamourous fashion style of the kings and the queens of India in our awesome collection of sarees, salwar kameez and lehenga cholis. With more than 20000 designs in our dresses, you can choose from the type of fabric – crepe, georgette, cotton or silk. Or you can select according to the type of work – embroidery or printed. And each one of our dresses is made to perfection by a team of skilled professional workers whose only objective is to make the customer, YOU, happy and satisfied.

We have more than 2000 collection of jewellery designs to match your attire. You can also choose and wear your favourite and lucky colour of jewellery for your auspicious occasion. Not only that; you can even call us or email us to have an exclusive jewellery set which nobody else but ONLY YOU would be the privileged owner. 

Being the manufacturer as well as the seller, Utsav have been able to listen and implement the specific requests of the customers. We have continued to create new designs which have kept us in the forefront of the competitive fashion industry. Many of the designs which we have for our privileged customers are not available in any fashion store or an online store. We have been winners in catering to the elegant tastes of fashionable women because our designs at Utsav are uniquely different and we do things differently.

Leonardo da Vinci painted his masterpiece “Mona Lisa” years ago. We continue to draw inspiration from his great work even now. Each creation of Utsav Sarees is a masterpiece. We welcome you to visit us and buy online at Utsavsarees.com for doorstep shopping or to our exclusive store in Jaipur, whichever is convenient to you. Our courteous staff shall always be there to escort you in your shopping.

!!! We wish your shopping a pleasant and memorable experience !!!
