Our Story
What began as a humble alteration service at home in Glenroy has now blossomed into a vibrant destination for cultural fashion.
Kabisha Twanabasu, a passionate fashion designer with an eye for detail, spent years offering alteration services from her home, driven by her deep love for fashion and the heartfelt support of her loyal customers. Her dream was always clear — to one day open a space where tradition and elegance meet.
Joining hands with her sister-in-law Bipana, who shared a keen interest in fashion and brought valuable experience in sales from Nepal, the vision began to take shape. Together, we set out to create more than just a store — we envisioned a clothing studio rooted in culture, creativity, and community.
The opportunity came when we acquired a well-established fabric store in Glenroy, which had served the community for over 20 years. With a fresh perspective, we renovated and restructured the space, transforming it into a vibrant fashion destination.
Thus, Butta Studio was born — a boutique offering traditional South Asian attire such as sarees, kurtis, lehengas, along with hand-picked jewelry and premium fabrics. It’s a place where modern style blends seamlessly with cultural elegance, and every thread tells a story.
