Mumbai gets more stylish with the opening of Almaari – a premium fashion rental store for individuals and the advertising industry
Mumbai just got a whole lot more fashionable and environmentally conscious with the launch of Almaari, a premium fashion rental store that’s set to revolutionize how the city dresses up for occasions – be it a print ad or a film shoot or a wedding, an award function, a party, or a boardroom meeting.
Almaari offers a curated, high-end wardrobe of ethnic, formal, and contemporary wear for both men and women, complete with stylish accessories and personalized fittings. With an in-store stylist for every customer and instant custom tailoring, Almaari ensures every ensemble fits like it was made just for you.
Whether you’re a costume designer styling a character for a scene or shoot, a bride’s best friend looking for that show-stopping lehenga, or a businesswoman needing a sharp power suit – Almaari has your look ready, without the long-term commitment.
Almaari is the brainchild of renowned costume designer and stylist Gayatri Thadani, a seasoned professional with decades of experience in the advertising and entertainment industry. With a deep understanding of fashion, character styling, and real-world wardrobe needs, Gayatri has created a one-of-a-kind fashion rental space that brings high style and sustainability together under one elegant roof.
Almaari is designed for two key audiences:
• Production houses, costume designers, stylists, and influencers who want a cost-effective, reliable source of fashion-forward clothing for shoots and appearances. With 24/7 inventory access, hassle-free returns, and on-site stylists to help match the vision of any film or editorial, Almaari is the wardrobe partner the industry has been waiting for.
• Everyday customers who need standout outfits for one-time events like weddings, award functions, parties, or corporate functions.
Gayatri Thadani said at the heart of Almaari is a simple, powerful idea: “Renting is the new buying. In an era where fast fashion is clogging landfills and the average outfit is worn just once, Almaari presents a chic, sustainable solution. By renting rather than purchasing, customers reduce waste, save money, and still make heads turn.”
Thadani said from elegant ethnic wear to edgy western silhouettes, Almaari offers a wide variety of categories.
For Women:
Party gowns, maxi dresses, lehengas, pant suits, funky jackets, sequined pants, sarees, exclusive blouses and more.
For Men:
Tuxedos, blazers, bandhgalas, chinos, leather jackets, co-ord sets, and a sharp selection of shirts and tees.
Accessories & Footwear:
A vast collection of jewelry, bags & purses, shades, belts, cufflinks, brooches, and more blending Indian craftsmanship with modern flair.
“Almaari is not just a store – it’s a style revolution,” said Thadani. “It’s a place where luxury is accessible, waste is avoidable, and every look is a story waiting to be told.”
