About - Us

Maker’s Best By Priyanka began its journey when I quietly used my husband’s credit card to purchase chikankari fabrics from Lucknow, with a plan to sell them during Octoberfest Celebrations in Secunderabad Club, in October 2012.  Despite having no background in business (let alone entrepreneurship) or prior experience, I set up my first stall, duly assisted by the house maid, the cook and my skeptical, but supportive husband. Fortunately, my choice of designs and colours were appreciated and the response of the customers was quite encouraging.  I immediately reinvested all the money earned in buying new stock, leaving my poor incredulous husband to settle the credit card bill. Gradually, I started selling my collection from clubhouse to clubhouse and also participated in numerous exhibitions in Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai and Vizag. I cemented my business venture by opening our first shop inside Secunderabad Cantonment in December 2014, specializing in handloom fabrics (Ikat, Benarasi and Kota Doria), hand embroidered fabrics (Maggam, Chikankari, Phulkari, Parsi Gara and Kaantha), as also hand printed fabrics (Ajrakh, Bagh, Kalamkari, Bagru and Dabu) and readymade garments for ladies. In due course we diversified into customized tailoring, to cater to the demands of our discerning customers. Today, we are based in Sainikpuri, Secunderabad and can boast of a healthy clientele which appreciates our collection of fabrics from around the country, coupled with our high quality of customized stitching. God has been really very kind.
