Parampara is a multi-designer boutique in Jaipur's Mani Mahal, founded by Colombian designer Virginia Borrero de Castro. It stocks her own De Castro label alongside ikat prints, embroidered dresses, and accessories.
Best for De Castro ikat, hand-embroidery and multi-designer Jaipur fashion
Parampara sits inside Mani Mahal on Jaipur's Mirza Ismail Road, a multi-designer boutique built around the eye of Colombian designer Virginia Borrero de Castro. After settling in Jaipur, de Castro turned her outsider's read on Rajasthani craft into a shop that mixes her own label, De Castro, with a wider roster of independent Indian designers. De Castro's own pieces lean on handloom fabric and traditional embroidery reworked into seasonless, fluid silhouettes rather than directly reproducing traditional forms, and they anchor a space stocked with vivid ikat prints, embroidered dresses, scarves, bags, and shoes from other makers. The overall feel favors ease over formality: bright color, breezy cuts, and a curatorial hand that treats Jaipur's block-print and embroidery traditions as raw material for something more contemporary rather than souvenir-shop reproductions. It is a small operation by design, open daily except Sunday from 11am to 7pm, and it rewards the kind of unplanned wandering through Jaipur's older lanes that turns up shops tourist itineraries tend to miss.
C-Scheme

Best for Designer dresses, suits, and sarees
Label Ritu Kumar is the contemporary sub-brand of legendary Indian designer Ritu Kumar, launched in 2002 to reflect modern trends. The designer introduced India's boutique culture starting in 1966, opening pioneering fashion retail spaces in Delhi, Calcutta, and Mumbai. Ritu Kumar's design philosophy mingles traditional Indian techniques—hand-block printing, embroidery, textile patterns—with Western tailoring and silhouettes, creating a bridge between heritage and contemporary style. Label operates as the modern expression of this vision, offering dresses, suits, sarees and fashion pieces for men and women. The C-Scheme location in Delhi positions the brand in the city's luxury shopping district. Ritu Kumar herself won the Padma Shri award (India's fourth-highest civilian honor) in 2013 for her contributions to fashion and textiles. The label appeals to consumers seeking Indian craftsmanship expressed through contemporary forms.
