Manshaa

I LOVED the custom gown Archana created for me. I showed her multiple pictures and we created a gown pulling from different inspirational photos. She truly does understand what you want and works with your budget. She makes genuine suggestions to give you a quality product. You can tell Archana really loves what she does and wants you to be a stunning bride!

Archana is amazing. Really takes the time to get to know you and makes sure your items are done exactly how you want. Also advises on what else you should wear with the look to make it really stand out.

I do not recommend coming here. They did not have my item tailored in time. Item did not look how they had promised when I received it. They also did not include the missing pieces for me to add myself, until I asked for it.

Do not use this place for custom orders! They have a decent selection of items in the store, good designers & nice pieces. But, be verrrry careful when placing a custom order. You probably won’t get what you asked for ! It’s your wedding outfit, don’t take a chance.

These five stars represent a collective review of the service, product as well Archna Vig. After engaging several designers, we chose Manshaa to design and create all the outfits for my wedding including those for the Sangeet night as well as the actual ceremony and reception. This included both traditional Indian as well as formal American wear — both for adults (bride, groom, siblings and parents) as well as children (nieces and nephews). The wedding took place in Northern California and was later featured in several publications.
Archna was more than just a 5 five star designer and coordinator, she was a sister. Her design work and the quality of the product rivaled shopping we’ve done in NY, France, Delhi, Mumbai, etc but her connection to us as a family was what was the true differentiator. To design world class outfits and manage so many sizes, alterations, etc from 300 miles away takes expertise, skill and business savvy. To deal with regular wedding craziness takes patience. To do it all with love and affection is a one-​of a-​kind thing.
She’s unparalleled in my humble opinion. I will forever have the utmost reverence for her and I would recommend anyone who is looking to get a world class experience to visit Manshaa and ask for Archna.

Manshaa is simply amazing! I am so impressed with Archana and Bilal. Not only because they are such talented designers, but because that go out of their way to make sure every detail of your outfit is to your liking. Bilal designed my wedding outfit for me, and it was everything I wanted and more. I also bought my reception outfit from them, and it was perfect. They also made sure I found matching jewelry, checked which shoes I was wearing with the outfits, and what I was thinking about hair and makeup, etc. I don’t know what other store would go out of their way to do this. Their talented design skills combined with their superior customer service skills is what makes Manshaa a truly one of a kind store that I would highly recommend.

I worked with Archana to custom design two outfits for my wedding and they were both absolutely beautiful! I enjoyed working with Archana and I felt she went the extra mile to make both of them beautiful. At times, she encouraged me to consider colors/​borders/​textures/​styles I had not considered before and her suggestions turned out great! She also listened when I expressed particular strong preferences. The only small challenge I faced was that the outfits arrived later than expected (be sure to allow extra time if placing a custom order – things always take longer than you think!); however, the wait was absolutely worth it. And if you show faith in Archana, she comes through in such a beautiful way!

For the sake of keeping this short I’ll say that I would definitely like to go back in time and not order a custom wedding outfit from here. My dress wasn’t at all what I wanted. I just had to go with it bc I had no choice.

Great customer service and awesome collection. I went in just to browse and found a perfect dress for myself.

This review is long overdue. I went to this shop earlier this year to find Indian clothes for my wedding. I would’ve given this place a one star but I enjoyed the main guys service. The lady on the other hand was rude and condescending. I was asking questions about Indian clothes to the main guy and she was interrupting us as if it was a waste of time to help me out. For that reason I left the store and did not purchase anything.

Bilal Kazmi is amazing. He created a the most beautiful outfit for me, all I did was give him a few colors and thoughts as inspiration and he took it from there. The fabrics and quality of the work stand out and really each piece looks like a collectors item. I was the guest at a wedding and he made me the most beautiful dupatta to go with my outfit. I’m in love with their work and would only GO TO Manshaa for my desi attire needs!

Talk about beautiful custom wear!
This little store in the Little India area on Pioneer has a nice selection of Indian wear with some very friendly staff.
My non-​Indian friend is partaking in a desi wedding and was blown away by the selection. He’s ultimately getting his groom’s sherwani from here because they generate custom designs! Mind you, this is more high-​end and will cost a pretty penny, but if you can afford it, it’s totally worth it!

I am writing this review on behalf of my fiancé because she was so happy and really wanted to write something about our experience but since she doesn’t have a Unilocal account, I got to write. First of all I was little skeptical to go to Artesia to buy her clothes because there are many shady places in Artesia where u get ripped off if u don’t be careful. Since we had heard good things about Manshaa, we decided to go there. I am glad I we went there:) The very moment we entered Manshaa, I felt we were welcomed. We were greeted very well and when my fiancé told them that she was looking for a dress for her engagement ceremony, they were right on showing us some fabulous bridal designs. I tell you my fiancé is very picky about what she wears so she was certain about what she wanted to wear and what color. She wanted the dress to be light weight but yet classy and certain things on her dress which I cannot remember because I really don’t know much about girl clothes :) Anyways. The owner lady stepped up to help us design her dress. She was amazing. She drew the design on a paper as per my fiancé’s request. She helped us to pick the fabric, materials, colors. My fiancé loved everything about the design. Like most couple we were on a budget, She worked on the budget too and made sure we were comfortable paying for it. Then we ordered the dress and after few days it was time to pick up the dress. We went to pick it up and oh my! I tell you I was very pleased to see the smile on my fiancé’s face when she saw her dress for the first time. When she wore the dress at our engagement function everybody was telling her how she pretty she looked on that dress. The fit was terrific. I have uploaded her picture on Manshaa’s Unilocal page, the one wearing reddish Orange dress. Our overall experience at Manshaa was beautiful. The Owner Lady, her brother and their whole team made us feel like we were part of the family. Would definitely recommend this place and yes we are certainly going there for her wedding dress!

I absolutely love this place, it is classy, chic and sophisticated. The staff is always willing to lend a hand and their designs are just exquisite. The head designer is always available if you want to book a personal appointment with her and her taste is fabulous! Love it and I recommend it!

This is the worst Indian clothing store. They have no idea what they are doing when it comes to custom outfits. I had them make an outfit and when I got it they added all sorts of colors and fabrics to it making it look cheap. They didnt ask me if they could add to it, they kept saying to me that «it will look so much better if you do this and that» BS. They have no style or taste in making their own clothes. Dont make anything custom here. They rip you off and they have no idea what style is.

Do not go here for custom orders. They completely messed up my wedding lehnga and bridesmaid sarees.
First, the order was extremely late (left me virtually no time before my wedding to make alternate arrangements– thankfully, I was able to find great stuff at other vendors last minute). She kept promising me the order was «almost here» but when it eventually did arrive, all the items were terrible! They were not at all what I was promised– she had all the measurements wrong, the fabric used was extremely cheap and see through! Then she told me that I should buy a liner to wear underneath since it was see through.
It was a horrible experience and she was trying to cut corners everywhere she could — I wish I didn’t have to go through such a stressful experience right before my wedding but I definitely learned from it. Terrible experience overall.

I came here with my family to choose outfits for an engagement. First of all, the customer service is great! Archana, the designer makes sure you have all of her attention. The boutique has nice environment, with beautiful decorations and plenty of sitting area.
After a while, we all decided to have Archana design our outfits because she was really good with detailing, what kind of cloth to use, designs, etc. I must say, it was a good idea. We got our outfits on time and they looked amazing! More than what we had expected.
If you are worried that you will have to spend a lot here! You are mistaken! Archana allows you to set your budget and designs clothing accordingly to meet your budget. If you want something different, elegant and classy for an upcoming wedding, engagement or any event, you must pay a visit to Manshaa Obsession Boutique. You won’t be disappointed!

DONT SHOP HERE OR MAKE CUSTOM OUTFITS HERE! I came here and tried to make copies of 5 indian outfits and they turned out horrific. They use cheap fabric and make you think or tell you they are using high quality fabric. Their stitching on all their custom work is really awful. I had no choice to wear these clothes b/​c they delivered them to me the week of the wedding when they promised me the clothes 2 weeks prior. Dont make clothes here or any copies they have no idea what they are doing and don’t know how to make proper clothes. They charge you an arm and a leg and promise you the best but when you get it you are stuck with clothes made out of chicken fabric.

I came here with my girlfriend to help her pick out a dress for a wedding
They had beautiful amazing dresses in high quality. Real silk with fabulous detailed work! All hand made. The dresses had many variety of styles and came in all different colors. Everything was stunning. They also had a seamstress on duty to help you with any fitting questions. The lady working was very nice to my girlfriend and very helpful.
Dresses range from $ 200-​$ 900. Prices are not fixed so bring with your bargaining skills. And bring cash… they prefer that.

This place is a dream… I love EVERYTHING in this store. I got my anarkali suit (a long dress with pants) here for my wedding and I absolutely love it. The price was totally spot on given that it’s a custom dress, truly one of a kind. The ladies here are super friendly. I have been having a hard time buying Indian outfits because of my size. When I walked in, I basically told them show me only stuff that would fit and boom on the second outfit, it was the one! I can’t wait to wear it this weekend!!!
