Founded by designer and entrepreneur Yuti Edwards, Udd is an Indian ethnic wear brand that breathes life into the vibrant tapestry of India’s folk art. Inspired by the kaleidoscope of rural India’s traditions, Udd creates designs that celebrate Kalamkari, Rabari, Mughal, and other heritage art forms, bringing them into the wardrobes of modern, free-spirited women around the world. Udd is more than a fashion label — it’s a platform for artisans. Rural, tribal, and urban craftspeople translate centuries-old techniques into wearable art, making each garment a piece of India’s cultural soul. The brand embodies slow fashion, sustainability, and a deep respect for craftsmanship. By 2021, Udd had achieved recognition in India but struggled to break into the international market. While the quality and originality of its products were undeniable, the brand’s digital presence wasn’t delivering the results it needed. The website suffered from high bounce rates, low conversion rates, and an audience pool that was too small to support ambitious global growth.
The goal
“Messold took our brand from national to international in a short span of time! Their strategies, persistence, and creativity were instrumental in our success. We love our partnership with them.”

With domestic campaigns delivering consistent ROAS, we launched dedicated US and UK websites. Campaigns were localised for these markets, featuring:
