The best fashion and gift stores Gujarat

Kapila is extremely gentle and does a very good job. Epilation, hair cuts, henna… Exclusively reserved for women.

This specialized store, which is located below the Classic Inn hotel, sells embroidered objects made by women of Kutch, grouped in cooperatives. The aim is to redistribute the profits to these women in order to ensure them a source of income. The models, inspired in particular by Banni and Patola tribal art, are marvels of finesse: traditional clothing, kurtas, shawls, household linen, bags, accessories... Prices are fixed and affordable. A store with a clear conscience, full of good gift ideas.

Fair Trade. In the same spirit as Kala Raksha, the Qasab creations bring together the cooperatives of KMVS and Kutch Mahila Vikas Sangathan. The KMVS is a community gathering women from a hundred villages who chose the name Qasab, meaning "knowledge of fabric" in Kutchi. The products are natural and handmade, and a third of the profits are given back to the women. For any information or purchase, come to the store of the Prince Hotel in Bhuj.

A small, clean and airy store offering embroidered items, as well as nutcrackers, leather sandals and a few wooden objects. Perhaps most interesting is the extensive collection of books on Kutch, most of which are unfortunately in English. Kamlesh also offers a rickshaw tour of the city, at a very reasonable price. You make 7 or 8 stops at Bhuj's main monuments. The explanations are interesting and Kamlesh's cheerfulness is contagious. Tour and visits in English.
