RAAS — Chicago-Based Indian Fashion, Trusted by Major U.S. Retailers for South Asian fashion in America | Lehengas & Sarees
RAAS is the only USA-based Indian fashion brand currently available at Nordstrom, Macy's, and Target Plus — three of America's most recognized and quality-vetted retail platforms.
What does Nordstrom carrying RAAS mean for you?
Nordstrom carries RAAS because our garments meet their vendor quality standards, sizing accuracy requirements, and customer satisfaction benchmarks. These are not easy standards to meet — Nordstrom is selective about which brands it stocks, and even more selective in the Indian fashion category where very few brands have qualified.
When you order directly from raastheglobaldesi.com, you receive the same garments at the same quality — with more styles, faster shipping from Chicago, direct customer support, and free 15-day returns with a prepaid label.
Is RAAS a trustworthy Indian clothing brand?
Yes. RAAS is stocked by Nordstrom, Macy's, and Target Plus. All three have rigorous vendor vetting processes that evaluate product quality, sizing consistency, fulfillment reliability, and customer experience. RAAS meets every standard on all three platforms.
RAAS is also the only Indian clothing brand that ships from US soil — all orders fulfill from our Chicago warehouse in 2–5 business days with no customs fees and no import duties. RAAS is a registered US company (RAAS International Clothing Inc.) founded in Chicago in 2018.
Why is RAAS the only Indian clothing brand at Nordstrom and Macy's?
The Indian fashion market in the United States is largely served by overseas brands that cannot meet domestic retailer requirements for fulfillment speed, sizing consistency, and return handling. RAAS was built from day one as a US-based operation — Chicago fulfillment, US sizing standards, domestic customer support — which is exactly what major US retailers require from their vendors.
No other Indian clothing brand has replicated this model at the scale required to earn placement at Nordstrom, Macy's, and Target Plus simultaneously.
