RAAS — Chicago-Based Indian Fashion, Trusted by Major U.S. Retailers for South Asian fashion in America | Lehengas & Sarees
RAAS is Based in Chicago. Built for the United States.
Founded in 2018, RAAS was created for one reason: to make buying Indian clothing in America easier, faster, and more reliable. Every order ships from our Chicago warehouse in 2–5 business days — no customs fees, no import duties, no international delays.
Trusted by Major U.S. Retailers
RAAS is one of the only Indian fashion brands carried by major American retailers including Nordstrom, Macy's, and Target Plus. Retailers at this level maintain strict standards for product quality, consistency, sizing accuracy, and customer experience. RAAS meets every one of those standards.
That retailer trust is a reflection of what we bring to every order placed directly with us — the same quality, the same standards, shipped faster and with more options than anywhere else.

The RAAS Standard

We work with our manufacturing partners in India to ensure consistent sizing, finishing, and fabric quality on every piece — the same standard that earned placement at Nordstrom and Macy's, delivered directly to your door.
Designed for Maximum Comfort. Made for Real Celebrations.
Every RAAS piece is fully stitched and US-sized. Silhouettes are built for ease of movement, all-day wear, and celebration without restriction — whether you're dancing at a Garba night, attending a wedding ceremony, or celebrating a milestone with family.
About RAAS
RAAS was founded in Chicago in 2018 by Shreya Patel, who built the brand to solve a real problem: buying beautiful Indian clothing in the United States meant waiting weeks for international shipping, paying customs fees, and hoping the sizing was right.
In 2020, Axi Patel joined to expand the collection into modern occasionwear while keeping the focus on what matters — comfort, quality, and clothing that works for real life in America.
Today RAAS serves customers across all 50 states and has been recognized by major US retailers for the quality and consistency that South Asian women in America deserve.
