Bombay as a city has always prided itself as the land of Business opportunity. With the demand of over 22.8 million people that needs to be qunched, this business soon develped into an industry that both employed many an artisans and inspired future fashionistas but also reshaped the way we look at goods and services today.
Among the varied trends we observe today, many have traced their humble origins to a simple dusty cublicle of a lowly slum under the caring touch of an experienced unknown tailor, but now flaunt and grace the walls of many a boutique.
On this Experience we will explore both sides of the coin and traverse through the Organized and Unorganized sectors dealing in textiles and garments.
From Silk to Chiffon, cotton to wool, if you like it we may just have it. BUT STRICTLY NO DEAD ANIMALS ARE PROMOTED BY US.
We aim to give you a taste of both the lives of the people as well as the varied industries that are tied to the term cloth!
