Kylee

What Kylee does

Kylee is a privately-held, founder-led luxury Indian ethnic fashion brand operating as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce label alongside curated multi-brand retail distribution. The company sells premium hand-embroidered traditional and contemporary Indian wear across 13+ product categories, including co-ord sets (139 SKUs), Kashmiri phirans (87 SKUs), anarkalis, lehengas, concept sarees, gowns, and cape sets, with pricing ranging from approximately ₹2,000 for tunics to ₹110,400 for premium lehenga sets. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Faridabad, Haryana, Kylee is led by founder Ruchi Jain and works with local artisans to preserve traditional hand-embroidery techniques such as zari, chikankari, aari, dori, and sequins.

The brand operates on Shopify with an integrated Kiwi Sizing size-recommendation tool and runs a hybrid distribution model that combines its own kyleefashion.com storefront—offering Cash on Delivery in India and worldwide shipping—with placements at three of India's most prestigious luxury fashion destinations: Aza, Ogaan, and Pernia's Pop-Up Shop. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time direct product sales across ready-to-wear and couture tiers, with seasonal promotional discounting of up to 50% off sitewide, custom sizing and made-to-order options, and inclusive sizing from XS to 7XL.

The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, operates with 1–10 employees, and has progressively extended its product surface through seasonal collections such as Saanjh – Soft Summer Chanderi Heirlooms, a contemporary couture line spanning Concept Sarees and Cape Sets, and a collaborative capsule called Kylee X Kai targeting modern occasion-wear consumers.
