Owner lured us in by telling some stories about the people he made clothes for and how he knew our hometown (addressing us in German), but turned out to simply talk about this simply to get us in the store and sell us clothes.
While it is neither new nor unusual to be coopted into stores by their owners, this was a new low, being tricked into the most appalling and deceitful way that I had never experienced before during my travels. Can‘t recommend at all.

I first visited Sandouk Boutique and met Naveen at Sandouk Boutique, who first helped us with a beautiful block print dress that I bought for my mo, who loves wearing it to this day. This immediately inspired us to look at various block prints that Naveen presented to us. After returning to the store the next day, we placed an order for 130 gift bags for our wedding in the Spring, which required seaming and stiching for the custom block print and design, with several weeks/months for completion. We agreed to have the items shipped to the US, ahead of our wedding, which accompanied a 50% deposit.
Naveen then introduced us to his nephew Prateek, at Sandouk House of Fashion to look at mens custom suits and shirts. Despite not being in real need of dress shirts or custom made suits, I agreed and purchased three custom suits and dress shirts, taking into consideration lower prices than in the US, but above all the reassurance came from the trust we quickly developed for Naveen, which gave us faith to do business with his nephew Prateek. Naturally, we assumed we would receive the same service and quality.
In short, the beautiful gift bags arrived exactly as ordered and on time ahead of our wedding. Naveen is both an exceptional business man and person, worthy of anyone trusting and doing business with.
On the other hand, when the three suits arrived, the result was quite different. Both the liners and quality of the seaming had failed in the two wool/cotton suit jackets., with only the linen suit being in acceptable condition.
We sent the attached photos to Prateek and Naveen, who quickly accepted responsibility for the unwearable suits, stating the prior seamstress had passed away, and they were working with a replacement. They promised and in fact delivered two replacement jackets for the two failed suits, which unfortunately had the same issue, just on a smaller scale. We again sent the attached photos, and asked them instead refund the cost of the two suits. Prateek denied the faulty suits and stopped answering our messages. Although Naveen continued to respond periodically, he never presented any solution to resolve the issues. We had high hopes of continuing to do more business with Naveen, but for whatever reason he could not or would not convince his nephew Prateek to right this wrong, and adhere to reputable and proper business practices.
I should have read the reviews in advance, since we're certainly not the first that had a bad experience. The included pictures of the faulty suits should speak for themselves. Despite the great experience with Naveen at Sandouk Boutique, his partnership business with his nephew Prateek was a failure, which quite frankly is the only time in my life I've written any negative review on any public platform. Hopefully this speak volume, and helps other potential buyers beware of doing any business with Prateek at Sandouk House of Fashion for custom made suits.

Great experience at Sandouk. Very professional yet also comfortable. Great expertise, much care given to finding the right cut and fabric to fit you perfectly. Multiple fittings guaranteed a great fit, which was no easy task for my unique body type (tall and thin). Very happy with the end product and the price was very reasonable for a suit of this quality. Would recommend to anyone looking for high quality clothes.

I went to Sandouk tailors on the recommendation of a friend. I was greeted by Prateek who was absolutely fantastic and did not push the process at all - just talked me through the fabrics available and the process of getting the garments made.
Following this I decided to get two suits, chinos, linen shirts and some linen trousers made; all at an extremely reasonable price. Throughout Prateek was extremely helpful in discussing which fabrics would look best and what shapes/styles worked for what I was after. He made the suits/other garments and did three fittings within two days, and is shipping them to the UK so a very hassle free and slick process.
Both Prateek and his team are extremely nice and knowledgeable about their trade - having previously had suits tailored in London this really proved to be just as good if not better process. There is also the added bonus that once you have been measured by him, you can place additional orders in the future from your home country and items can be shipped to you (I will definitely be placing an annual order!).
If you are thinking of getting anything made in India you should definitely go here and ignore the poor review below - it is simply not true.

While visiting Udaipur, meeting - and working with - Prateek and Naveem was one of the highlights for me. They are extraordinary at what they do. I was truly amazed by their craftsmanship and service, and they gave me all the time I needed to make any decisions regarding fabric, style and finish for the suit. Not a question was too much. Besides that the suit turned out beyond my expectations, they are also beautiful people. They care about their profession, they care about their craft and they care about their customers.
This is a business with its heart in the right place, and the skill of tailoring performed on the highest level. They work with however much time you have and will do their best to accommodate it. This gorgeous suit was created in two days.
Without any doubt, I highly suggest Sandouk House Of Fashion!

We had three items tailored: a woman's winter coat, and a man's shirt and trousers. Pratik was a very astute tailor, immediately identifying the issues that we have with non-tailored clothes. He took our measurements and once we tried on the clothes, we felt that we looked much better than usual, and no adjustments were required. We had a choice of fabrics and the items were shipped to the UK quickly and smoothly. The items were very affordable compared to tailored clothes in the UK/USA. One warning: if you are not used to hand-made clothes, be sure to ask for advice about caring for them; my linen shirt shrank in the drying machine, but I was able to restore it by following some tips on the internet.

Sandouk House of Fashion should be a local landmark. Prateek, Naveem, and Prabhu are not only great tailors, artists, and business people - they're also just really lovely to spend time with. They made a magnificent suit for me, they turned it around in very little time, they dealt tenderly with my general unease with looking in the mirror and guided me in the right directions.
Prateek is wildly charismatic and brilliant, Naveem is a humble voice of reason and constraint, and Prabhu hangs back and takes care of you in ways you realize only after the fact (if he's not busy modeling for foreign print campaigns).
Anyhow - it's difficult not to use superlatives in speaking of this great place. Just go, stay a while, and let them take care of you, and if you've the time - stay a little longer and talk.

Sandouk House of Fashion is the premiere fashion shop in Udaipur and a world class place to get incredible clothes. Pratik Pandya, who has worked at the shop for more than ten years, knows everything about fashion - American, European, Indian, and more - and puts together incredible suits cut from scratch. His materials are top level and the care and attention to detail he has is incredible. I bought my first suit in 2020 when I found my way to his shop, located in the heart of Udaipur, became friends with him and came back for more by making a special trip to Udaipur in 2022 to get another suit. I have received so many compliments on the suits he has made for me, and the second was better than the first. I have also bought suits from him for my friends in America, who have sent him measurements and over video or WhatsApp selected fabrics, and they are very happy with what they got, and want to buy more. I couldn’t recommend this shop more highly, and Pratik will be my tailor for life!

The craftsmanship of the suit is unbelieveable. My first time for a tailored suit, and the experience was fantastic. I ended up with an asymmetrical suit jacket and matching trousers. Both garments are made incredibly well. No sign of stitching etc, and the fit feels really good. They even "re-opened up" and re-fitted the jacket to make sure the taper was correct for my body.
I would highly recommend this place, and now that they have my measurements, I doubt I'll be buying another suit back in the UK ever again.
Good range of materials, styles and most importantly really friendly + honest staff that actually care about what your buying.
- Can't wait to order more when I get back to London.

Hand made shirts by Prateek in Udaipur : when I got into the store with my wife, I had no intention to buy a shirt. Prateek started to describe how he works and he seemed so knowledgeable and professional that I decided to get some, but I was leaving early the next morning and Prateek told me he could do the shirts in time and to my satisfaction!
So, we decided to have 3 shirts made. Wow, everything was above my expectations. The shirts were all different, made with great precision and quality.
I am extremely happy with my decision. The 3 shirts are as expected, modern with a relax style, and very well adjusted to me.
Thanks again Prateek,
