Ekta Patel is a NIFT Gandhinagar graduate who has spent over two decades at the intersection of Indian tradition and personal craft. After honing her understanding of textiles at Arvind Mills across Ahmedabad and Bangalore, she began her own design journey in 2008 — working from home, dressing women for their most cherished occasions, building a reputation entirely through the quality of her work and the trust of her clients. In 2017, that reputation earned her a studio of her own — Label Ekta Patel — where every garment is still personally overseen by the designer herself, from the first conversation to the final stitch. Today, Ekta dresses women across the world — the United States, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Dubai, and beyond — offering personal consultations over call, custom designs crafted in Ahmedabad, and finished garments shipped directly to your door. Her new line, Kujá by Ekta, is dedicated entirely to her US clientele — women who carry their Indian roots proudly and deserve clothes that honour that. When you order from Ekta, you are not placing an order with a brand. You are beginning a conversation with a designer who will think about your occasion as carefully as you do.
About Ekta Patel
The Kujá Values
Artisan Heritage
We celebrate India's extraordinary tradition of hand embroidery. Every zardozi stitch, every mirror placement, is done by hand by master craftspeople.
Bespoke First
No two bodies are the same. No two occasions are alike. That's why every piece can be customized to your silhouette, your story, and your moment.
Ethical Crafting
Our artisans are fairly compensated and work in dignified conditions. When you choose Kujá, you support generations of skilled craftspeople.
Global Heart
Ekta designs with a global Indian diaspora in mind — women navigating two cultures, two wardrobes, and wanting to honour both with grace.
