In a world dominated by fast fashion, MANEESHA CHANDRAN stands apart as a designer brand that stitches individuality into every thread. Based in Kochi, this label is redefining bridal and groom wear through deep customization and a heart – led design process. Here, clients don’t just shop-they co-create, shaping their outfits hand-in-hand with designers for that perfect, personal touch.

The creative force behind the brand is Maneesha, a Palakkad native whose love for painting and sketching blossomed into a passion for fashion. Her academic journey – an integrated five-year program combining M.Sc. in Fashion Design, MBA, and BSc in Fine Arts – laid the foundation. While still studying, she honed her skills working with top firms, gaining five years of industry experience before venturing into freelance design. A year ago, she co-founded the brand with her trusted partner, Jithin, transforming their shared vision into a thriving startup.

Their debut collection, EVE’S GARDEN, is an ethereal tribute to Eden’s timeless beauty – romantic, pure, and effortlessly elegant. Every piece is tailored with care, not just to reflect the client’s vision, but to embody their emotions. “We prioritize individuality – every design is tailored to the client’s unique story,” Maneesha explains. The brand plans to launch new collections every six months, ensuring designs remain fresh, relevant, and rooted in personal expression.

Maneesha’s journey is as inspiring as her creations. Her late father, a businessman, remains her guiding star. With unwavering support from her family and Jithin, she dreams of opening her flagship store, expanding into franchises, and eventually taking MANEESHA CHANDRAN global.
To aspiring entrepreneurs, she offers grounded advice: “Learn before you leap. Work, gain experience, then build your dream.”
