A Saks Fifth Avenue wardrobe stylist, who has been known around the region for outfitting socialites, was recently busted after allegedly stealing more than $400,000.

Suhail Kwatra, 43, is facing a criminal complaint out of Boston Municipal Court in connection with the alleged thefts at the Saks in the Prudential Center.

Kwatra has been seen in the Herald and profiled in the Globe, where he was called the “top salesman” for the Back Bay Saks store. He has been working for the luxury store for 20 years.

Then last month, Boston police officers responded to a call for a larceny/shoplifter in custody at the Saks in the Pru.

When officers arrived, they spoke with the store’s loss prevention assistant director Tim Wade, who said Kwatra had been making numerous fraudulent refunds, according to the criminal complaint.

“Wade stated that Kwatra had been refunding items that were bought and weren’t picked up by customers,” the complaint reads. “Wade stated that Kwatra turned the refund items into gift cards and used the gift cards to purchase items for himself.”

Wade provided the cop with a folder containing evidence, detailing their investigation of the incidents.

The store suspended Kwatra and issued him a no-trespass order. The officer spotted Kwatra leaving the building.

Then last week, Wade and Saks’ corporate investigator John Wells told police that Kwatra was no longer a Saks employee.

Their internal investigation revealed he had processed fake merchandise refunds on three recent occasions: Sept. 19, Sept. 21, and Nov. 3. Kwatra allegedly stole more than $11,700 in those three instances.

Kwatra on social media had allegedly posted photos of him “wearing some of the articles of clothing that had been fraudulently purchased,” the complaint states.

The Saks investigators also included a copy of a hand-written letter from Kwatra during their separation meeting with him.

“In that letter, Kwatra stated that he apologized for his actions and that the total loss was approximately $429,400,” the complaint reads. “This included fraudulent refunds, mismanagement of ‘Promo Cards,’ giving unpaid merchandise to clients, and abuse of the company ‘Corporate Card.’ ”

On the letter, the loss was separated by category: $375,000 in fraudulent returns; $50,000 in mismanagement of promo cards; $3,400 in given unpaid merchandise; and $1,000 from abusing the corporate card.

Kwatra wrote that he intended to pay the the company back. He signed a “promissory note,” an agreement to pay the loss back.

Back in 2014, the Globe followed Kwatra as he worked with clients on their wardrobes. The Globe wrote that his “big brown eyes and effervescent personality charm his clientele.”

One of his client visits back then was with Tiffany Ortiz, the wife of Sox legend David Ortiz.

The Herald has photographed Kwatra at many city events and parties over the years.

On Kwatra’s current website, he calls himself a “fashion stylist and consultant.”

“I specialize in curated, high-impact wardrobe solutions tailored to those who expect excellence,” his website reads. “My approach blends precision with instinct. Each look is intentional, each detail considered. Whether it’s editorial, event dressing, or elevated everyday wear, I bring a sharp eye and unapologetic taste to every project.

“I don’t follow trends—I edit them,” his site reads. “Clients come to me for clarity, confidence, and a wardrobe that speaks before they do. If you’re looking for ordinary, you’re in the wrong place.”

He’s being charged with larceny over $1,200 by single scheme. The penalty for that charge could be a sentence of five years in prison, and a $25,000 fine.

Kwatra is scheduled to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court on Dec. 18.
