An unplanned Journey of a cherished Saree to a Beautiful Dress

I believe the best things happen when left unplanned. You do have to put a little effort to make it happen minus your fears of 'what ifs'.

Designing garments just happened to me. I did not plan it, only followed life's plan and put my best into it.

In 2007 I started my label ' KIM PEREIRA' wherein I designed beautiful ready-to-wear handwork embroidered wedding sarees. Mumbai gave me an opportunity to showcase these in various art galleries through which I made clients worldwide. For six years I only sold sarees. And let me tell you 'sarees' was something I had no clue about when I was learning fashion designing in Goa. I was trained in western wear.

Six years later I thought of meeting my old Mumbai clients and revamping their wardrobes. I am best at getting wonderful things done out of discarded things. Many of us have our cupboards full of clothes and sarees that we know we will not wear but still keep them as souvenirs. So I started digging all their hatching sarees that they love or have memories attached to (that they will not wear again for sure) and started converting them into anarkali dresses and lehenga cholis and western gowns. It is like getting a unique garment made just for you.

It is time you dig your wardrobes and let your sarees LIVE with a new look.

Fashion and Food - My Pandemic Journey

Colors make me happy. I do love wearing white dresses. But, I will always team them up with a colorful accessory. White to me is like a canvas that is waiting to be painted on. It has been good 14 years since I started my label KIM PEREIRA. When I started in 2007, the Saree chose me. Though I am trained in western dresses, I started my career by designing sarees. Destiny had its own plan. Sarees led me to anarkalis and lehengas, and this all gave me the world 🌎 on a platter. There was no looking back from then on. But, I wanted to design white wedding gowns. And this took me from Mumbai back to Goa in 2016. It is then that I got to design the first catholic wedding gown. But wait a minute. There is a twist. Remember the book Alchemist? Everything that the boy learnt on his journey came in handy later. Right? So, coming back to the white wedding gown that I got to design for a beautiful goan bride. She wanted golden embroidery on her dress. Surprised? I am glad she dared to be di
