Right from Kashmir they have Pashmina stoles (Rs. 850), shawls (Rs. 2,200) and embroidered scarves.

 

The shop is extremely popular for its gift collection. They have interesting frames in glitter finish, ceramic, lacquer work, radiant steel and wooden. MetroMela loved their multi-colored broken glasses frames (Rs. 215-310). Also, they have semi precious stones and silver jewelry like lockets, anklets (Rs. 450) and embroidered purses to gift your loved one. They have excellent jewelry boxes in lacquer work, camel bone and sandalwood as well.

 

Our verdict – The shop has a distinct style of its own. We came to know that a part of its proceedings from a particular section goes to a woman’s organization called Disha which also makes these handmade Indian products. Definitely a must visit as the store is quite a novelty.
