Vaish at Rivoli is a bespoke tailoring house in Connaught Place, New Delhi, founded in 1940 by O.P. Vaish. Business listings describe Mr. Vaish beginning his tailoring career serving Connaught Place's clientele during the 1940s, a period when the area also hosted Allied military officers stationed in Delhi during the Second World War. The business has stayed in family hands for three generations and is now run by his son, Ashok Vaish, and grandson, Sachin.
The shop is located at 25, Regal Building, next to the former PVR Rivoli Cinema in Connaught Place, and specializes exclusively in made-to-measure tailoring — sources are consistent that it does not stock ready-made suits.
