What's in: "It is a complete fusion of vibrant colours and this year we have gone multi-coloured by showcasing dresses with different coloured lehenga, choli and dupatta," says, Mukesh Bahel, boutique owner.
The collection here includes chania cholis worked up with contemporary modern stone work and zardosi work and traditional lehengas embroidered with antique zardosi and lots of mirror work. These are must-buys for Navratri. The colour palette is vibrant with colours like bright bottle green and shocking pink highlighted by silver and gold work. The boutique believes in using only pure fabrics - mainly silk, crepe and georgette - so that there is a perfect blend of the embroidery and the colour scheme.
Price: Starts from Rs 10,000 and above.
