Ruby Bhandari‘s passion for designing began even as she was a teenager. Born in New York of Indian descent, the University of Texas, Austin graduate set up Silk Threads in northwest Dallas where she offers ready-to-wear or custom-designed dresses, custom bridal wear, Indian American styles, and fusion menswear.
Her creations are manufactured in a factory in New Delhi, where junior designers procure the fabric and get it dyed according to a customer’s specifications, and artisans start on the embroidery. On request, the company will send pictures of the order in progress, and if needed, at an extra cost, it also arranges to courier swatches of the embroidery that is being done on a specific apparel.
Bhandari has expanded her designs to include royal blue and silver items in honor of the Dallas Cowboys, and she just launched a collection of destination bridal wear, reports Dallas News.
