Fashion is more than just clothing; it is an expression of individuality and culture. This principle lies at the heart of De rigueur Elazo, a distinctive fashion brand founded by Thenmozhi Ananthan in June 2020. Specializing in sarees and traditional wear with a modern twist, De Rigueur Elazo combines craftsmanship with high-quality materials, providing customers with style and comfort. With a passion for fashion, Thenmozhi’s brand is becoming a favorite among those who appreciate elegance and authenticity.
The Journey Behind De Rigueur Elazo



The creation of De Rigueur Elazo was inspired by Thenmozhi’s love for fashion and design. She spent countless hours curating outfits for friends and family, which ignited her desire to pursue a career in the fashion industry. This passion, paired with a deep understanding of cultural significance, led to the establishment of her brand.

De Rigueur Elazo offers sarees made from pure cotton and silk, utilizing natural fibers like banana pith, cotton from kapok tree and Gossypium. These pieces are known for their soft texture and intricate designs with vibrant colours and timeless artistry, providing customers with a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. The brand also offers customized blouses and saree silhouette, as well as kids ethnic wear, ensuring that each customer’s unique preferences are met with care and quality.
Dedication to Quality and Customer Satisfaction



Customer satisfaction is a top priority for De Rigueur Elazo. The brand prides itself on using only the highest quality materials to ensure that its products are comfortable, non-allergenic, and suitable for Singapore’s climate. Whether it is soft silk or pure cotton, Thenmozhi ensures that each item reflects her commitment to quality.



The customization of blouses and kids’ dresses allows for personal expression, with an emphasis on non-allergenic fabrics. De Rigueur Elazo pays close attention to detail, such as small cotton-thread embroidery, adding a personalized touch that makes every purchase a memorable experience. Engaging directly with customers for feedback has also enabled the brand to evolve and meet the changing demands of the market.
Expanding into New Horizons



As De Rigueur Elazo continues to grow, Thenmozhi Ananthan plans to expand the brand’s product range. Future offerings will include stylish kids’ wear and Indo western dress that blend Indian and fusion designs.




There are also plans to introduce unique jewelry collections, further solidifying De Rigueur Elazo’s reputation for providing high-quality, versatile fashion. With over 7,000 satisfied customers since its launch and ongoing growth through pop-up exhibitions and collaborations, the brand is well-positioned to continue making an impact in the fashion world.
