2. Ready-to-Wear Couture: Semi-bespoke and ready-to-ship couture pieces sold through boutiques and e-commerce. Products include lehengas ($3,500-$11,300+), gowns ($4,300+), and menswear. Revenue is one-time per product with standard sizing and custom options available.
3. E-commerce Direct Sales: Global online sales through shop.gauravguptastudio.com shipping internationally to customers worldwide. Products include evening wear, lehengas, sarees, and menswear with prices ranging from $3,000-$11,300+.
4. International Distribution: Distribution through luxury department stores including Neiman Marcus, Moda Operandi, and Bergdorf Goodman. Also distributed through stockists in 14 countries across Middle East, Europe, and North America.
5. Celebrity & Red Carpet Collaborations: Custom couture created for celebrities attending high-profile events (Met Gala, Cannes, Oscars, Grammys). While typically complimentary for celebrity visibility, these appearances drive brand recognition and subsequent customer inquiries.
