Frequently asked questions
Single pieces at the retail price; wholesale programmes from just 24 pieces per line — made to order in our own ateliers, sampled before bulk, exported worldwide. Every question our buyers ask, answered plainly below.
Do you sell single pieces or only bulk orders?
Both. Retail customers can order single pieces at the retail price shown on every product page — no account needed, and we confirm each order personally before dispatch. For wholesalers, retailers and fashion brands we work on bulk and programme orders at wholesale rates; those unlock the moment your trade account is approved — and wholesale starts at just 24 pieces per line: 3 colours × 2 sets, each set one size run (L, XL, XXL, 3XL).
What is your minimum order quantity for wholesale?
Wholesale starts at just 24 pieces per line — 3 colours × 2 sets, with each set covering one full size run (L, XL, XXL, 3XL). It is deliberately small so a new buyer can test a line without committing to volume. Once a line proves itself on your counter, full production lots are 120 pieces per design per colour, typically across 3-4 colourways, and you scale at your own pace.
What are your wholesale prices?
Wholesale rates run ₹550 to ₹1,200 per piece across our lines, set by fabric and embroidery density. Against typical counter prices of ₹1,100 to ₹2,400, retail partners generally hold a margin of about 50 per cent. Line-wise rates are shared with the line sheet once your trade account is approved.
How do I start working with you?
Share an enquiry through the form on this site with your company details, category of interest and approximate quantity. Our team responds within two working days with the relevant line catalogue, price architecture and next steps — usually a call followed by sampling.
Can I order samples before committing to a programme?
Yes. Sampling is a standard first step for every new buyer. Prototypes are developed against your size chart and fabric approval, typically within two to three weeks depending on the line. Sample costs and policies are confirmed upfront in writing.
Can I start with a small trial lot instead of a full production run?
Yes — that is exactly what the 24-piece entry lot is designed for. You take 3 colours × 2 sets of a line, read the counter response, and reorder in full 120-piece production lots only for the winners. Fresh designs arrive every week, so there is always something new to trial alongside your bestsellers.
Do you offer customisation and private label?
Extensively. Colourways, embroideries, silhouettes, trims, labels, tags and packaging can all be developed to your specification. Most of our export buyers work with us on full private-label programmes built on our manufacturing base.
Can I order a design in my own colourways?
Yes. Every line is designed to run in 3-4 coordinated colourways, and custom colourways are possible within a dye lot. On programme orders we can match a shade card or a reference garment, with a lab dip confirmed before bulk dyeing so the entire lot stays consistent.
Which fabrics do you work with?
Our current lines run on four signature fabrics — Mul Chanderi, Roman silk, coral silk and cotton — each with its own fabric guide on this site covering weave, drape, care and bulk behaviour. Beyond these, our weaving-cluster partners in Banaras, Surat and Bhagalpur can develop raw and Banarasi silks, katan, tissue, organza, georgette, chiffon and crepe for bespoke programmes with lot consistency.
What sizes and size runs do you make?
Standard runs are L, XL, XXL and 3XL — every set in the 24-piece entry lot covers all four. Custom size charts tuned to your market's measurements are developed on programme orders.
Where are you located, and can we visit?
Our atelier and flagship operations are in Ahmedabad, Gujarat — 180+ in-house karigars and around 12,000 pieces a month of capacity. Buyers are welcome to visit by appointment; write to us and we will schedule a workshop walk-through alongside your line-sheet review.
Who is behind Dhanya Lifestyle?
Dhanya Lifestyle LLP is founded and led by Sonam Mishra — Founder & CEO — from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The house was established in 2022 as a women-run manufacturer and exporter of high-end Indian ethnic wear and today serves wholesalers and fashion houses in fifteen-plus countries. You can verify the people behind the company on LinkedIn — we would rather you check than take our word for it.
What are typical production lead times?
Every programme is made to order and delivers in about 10 days flat from confirmation and advance receipt — no exceptions hidden in the small print; dense handwork can take a little longer. A date-committed production calendar is shared with every order.
How are orders packed for dispatch?
Every piece is individually poly-packed with a size and care tag, then bundled by design and colourway so your team can shelf straight from the carton. Domestic dispatch goes out from Ahmedabad; export cargo is consolidated and palletised for sea or air, with packing lists itemised to the piece. Custom packaging, inserts and private-label tagging are available on programme orders.
How do you ship, and on what terms?
We ship worldwide by air and sea, working on EXW, FOB and CIF terms as suits the buyer. Export documentation — commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin — is handled in-house, and we coordinate with forwarders on consolidated cargo.
What are your payment terms?
Standard terms are advance with balance against dispatch for new relationships, moving to mutually agreed credit terms as the relationship matures. We work with T/T; letter-of-credit terms are available for qualifying programmes and are agreed before order confirmation.
What exactly is the ₹50,000 Partner Balance?
A trade credit on your account: every paid invoice of ₹10,000 or more applies 1% from the balance and credits 0.5% back. It is not cash and cannot be withdrawn — it is our way of rewarding direct, repeat trade. Full terms: section 5 of the Terms page.
How long does the balance last?
As long as you order at least once in any twelve-month window. Each paid invoice restarts the clock.
Can two of my shops claim separately?
One balance per GST number. Separate GST numbers are separate businesses, and each may claim its own.
