Gleemium Fashion vs Lashkaraa: Buying Indian Men's Wear in Australia
Summary
Men usually leave the outfit to the last minute. Then it's the week before Diwali, Eid or a cousin's wedding, and you need a kurta that fits, looks sharp and arrives on time.
Two online shops come up a lot for Australian buyers: Gleemium Fashion, based in Perth, and Lashkaraa, which ships from overseas to an Australian storefront. This guide compares their men's ranges in a practical way. We put together three real outfits, priced them at both shops, and checked sizes, delivery and returns.
All figures come from the two shops' own websites, checked on 12 October 2026. Sources are at the end.
Quick answer: Gleemium Fashion or Lashkaraa for men's Indian wear? For kurta sets and kurta-with-jacket outfits, Gleemium Fashion. A typical piece costs A$70, delivery is free, and sizes go up to 52, so it's the better pick for bigger men too. For a sherwani, or a hand-embroidered velvet jodhpuri set, go to Lashkaraa. We don't sell sherwanis. Lashkaraa's typical men's piece is A$240, plus A$36 delivery under A$350.
