About The Swiss Laundry Kolkata. Founded 2013. Chotusingh Indie breed dog mascot. Professional dry cleaning laundry history Kolkata since 2013.

Hello. Welcome to
The Swiss Laundry
story.

This is not a company page.
It is a story. And every good story
needs someone to tell it.

Hello, I am Chotusingh.
Little, cute lucky mascot. 🐾

Chotusingh — lucky mascot of The Swiss Laundry Kolkata

Once upon a time in Kolkata

Every person has that one garment.

It all started with a simple realisation — everyone has that one garment that is very important to them, maybe because of the price they paid or the occasion it was bought for. And to preserve it, a professional, international-standard dry cleaner was needed in the city.

In 2011, a Spanish businessman named Fernando Arroyo Villuendas came to Kolkata and saw exactly this gap. He saw silk sarees, embroidered lehengas, hand-stitched sherwanis — and not a single dry cleaner who could care for them the way they deserved.

He decided to build one. The best machines were imported from Italy. And on 7th October 2013, The Swiss Laundry opened its doors at Kasba Industrial Estate, Kolkata.

I arrived five years later. But this is where the story began.

Twelve years on the road

What happened,
year by year.

2011 A Spaniard arrives.

Fernando Arroyo Villuendas comes to Kolkata. He stays, observes, and understands what the city is missing.

2012 The gap is spotted.

Fernando and Antonio Fernandez decide to act. Research begins. The plan takes shape.

2013 7 Oct. Doors open.

Machines arrive from Italy. A premium fashion show is held before the workshop opens — the response is overwhelming. On 7th October, The Swiss Laundry opens its doors.

2014 The city responds.

Two vehicles. Two pickup points. Fashion house partnerships begin.

2015 Hydrocarbon arrives.

First Hydrocarbon dry cleaning in Kolkata. Gentler on delicate fabrics. Better for the environment.

2017 Bigger workshop.

More machines. More capacity. The brand is now known for designer care and stain removal.

2018 A new chapter.

New ownership. Doorstep focus begins. On Diwali, a puppy named Chotusingh arrives.

2019 Home only.

All pickup points close. Four cars. All of Kolkata. Doorstep, always.

2021 Lockdown proof.

Every permitted day, they worked. Clients waited for them specifically.

2023 Ten years.

Fashion shows for clients. 12,000+ clients. 1,50,000+ garments cared for.

2025 New purpose.

From exclusive dry cleaner to extraordinary garment care provider.

What Chotusingh has seen

The people who trust us
with what matters.

The bride.

Three days before the wedding. She did not say what it cost or where it came from. She said: please be careful. The lehenga came back the day before the wedding. She cried a little. We think it was relief.

Every wedding garment deserves the same care. Understand bridal lehenga dry cleaning →
The professor.

His father's kurta. Fifty years old. Silk. A stain from a lunch he could not remember. He brought it in without much explanation. He held it up to the light when it came back and did not speak for a long time.

Some garments carry more than fabric. How we handle delicate and heirloom garments →
The Friday family.

Same garments, same time, same instructions. Every Friday, for years. They never needed to explain. We never needed to ask. That is what trust looks like when it has had time to develop.

Weekly care for the garments that matter most. Our laundry and dry cleaning service →
The school shirt.

It had to be white again by Monday. Every Monday. For six years straight. It always was. Some things sound simple. They are not always simple to deliver, week after week, without exception.

Consistency is its own kind of care. Everyday laundry done properly →
The heirloom carpet.

It had been in the family for forty years. Hand-knotted. Brought in rolled up, no explanation needed. They just needed someone who would understand what it was. We did.

Not all carpets are just carpets. How we clean handmade and Persian rugs →
The people behind it

The team.

Some of the originals remain. The rest joined because something was already worth joining.
They come in every morning. They leave every evening. They know what they are doing.
