Despite not possessing drawing skills, sewing proficiency, or a formal background in fashion, Komal Kothari persisted in establishing her label's current standing. Commencing her journey in 2019, she undertook small projects to delve into her passion for fashion. With two years of valuable experience, she recognised in 2021 that the clutter she had unintentionally created was not in line with her true calling, prompting her to pinpoint her niche. Upon identifying a gap in the luxury men's fashion realm for statement shirts, Komal Kothari set out to approach it differently and more innovatively than previous attempts.

Komal Kothari recognised that in the realm of men's fashion, her artistic choices needed careful consideration to craft something intriguing yet within men's comfort. She approached this venture with modest expectations. Handwork, an art form in fashion executed solely by hand and devoid of automation, reflects our country's rich history and cultural heritage. Embellishments, adding texture, depth, and beauty to a simple fabric, clearly express the possibilities achievable through various embellishment techniques at Komal Kothari. These results result from numerous hours of skilled craftsmanship, where every bead, sequin, thread, etc., is meticulously placed to enhance the design's texture, shape, and overall aesthetic. This meticulous detailing is the essence of our label, with embellishments acting like stars in the sky, each shining brightly to make every piece a statement. Komal Kothari has brought to life what she wished existed.
