Costume and Film Design at Camac Street

A central retail street carrying designer stores and studios.

Costume and Film Design at Camac Street

Costume work for Bengali cinema and theatre, a long-running city trade.

Most Kolkata studios work by appointment rather than off the rack. A first visit establishes the brief, the fabric and the budget; fittings follow, and the piece is made by karigars working to that studio's patterns.

Before you commission

  • Agree the delivery date in writing, with the fitting dates on it
  • Ask what is made in-house and what goes out to a karigar
  • Settle the advance, the balance and what happens if the date slips
  • Confirm alteration policy after the final fitting
