BIG STOCK The store is meticulously stacked with bedspreads, bedcovers and salwar suits
The name of this new store is Kilol, which means “to play” in Sanskrit. And the products in this store are a play of colours and prints. This store on the second floor of Garuda mall, Magrath Road, offers clothes designed by Mamta Mansing
ka, who works with artisans in Jaipur. The store is a franchisee of the unit in Jaipur and managed by retail entrepreneur Yashodhara Shroff.
The pricing of the products is steep. “That’s because each one comes in a unique cut and only vegetable block prints are used,” say the people at the store.
The store is meticulously stacked with bedspreads and bedcovers on one side and a wide range of salwar suits in varied hues and sizes and cuts on the other. They are all displayed colour wise. You have to buy them in complete sets. While the normal and medium sizes are ready-to-wear, the extra large kurtas are left unstitched at the sides “so that we can make them as per the customer’s need.”
There are salwar suits in cottons, jute cottons and silks and they start at Rs. 1,250 while the pure chikan suits start at Rs. 2,050. There are also salwar suits in tussar silks that come at Rs. 3,200. This section is brimming with pastel shades. In case you prefer to get the dress stitched yourself then you can opt for the dress material that is priced between Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 6,400.
For these there are also chiffon duppattas that come at Rs. 300 onwards. For those who like to wear short kurtis with jeans then there are also short tops and tunics thatcan be picked up for Rs. 340 onwards. Another added attraction is the kaftan styled suits that are priced at Rs. 4,100.
Kilol also offers saris. One big attraction in this section is the kota cotton sari with chikan work for the border and the pallu. The combination really catches your eye. Priced at Rs. 3,300, “this one is sold the moment it is displayed”.
With these are cotton saris (Rs.1,100 upwards), silk saris (Rs. 3,100), Maheshwari saris (Rs.1,400) and Tussar silk saris (Rs. 3,100). These products have to be dry cleaned, say the makers.
Kilol also offers a home linen range that includes quilts (singles for Rs.1,350 and double for Rs.1,650 in cotton). The double silk quilts are priced at Rs. 5,400. There are also bed spreads, bed covers and cushion covers.
Kilol is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and it can be contacted on 66141017/56641086.
