Sherwani Cleaning

Wedding wear that stays wedding ready

A sherwani is often worn once, kept for years and passed on, so it needs careful cleaning. Brocade, silk, heavy embroidery and structured linings all react differently, and the wrong process can leave marks or damage the finish. We inspect each piece, explain what we can do and press it so it holds its shape.

“Elegance managed to get a horrible huge espresso martini stain out of a brand new silk dress. The likelihood of removing it was very low but they managed! Absolute saviours – an amazing service!!”
