Enter the Whimsical World of Almirah in Meharchand Market - A Shopping Haven for Your Tiny Tots

Surprisingly, in a bottomless pool of retail shops galore, simple, classy clothing for kids is wanting. Almirah, a socially conscious concept boutique, housed in the trendy Mehar Chand Market came in as a breath of fresh air in 2011. It’s a delightful world in here, just looking around makes you smile and it’s easy to get lost in the soft pastels, pinstripes, checks and prints which have been given a unique twist by the creative genius of the versatile designer Aditi Bajpai.

Also, Divya Bajpai, the owner of the parent company, has put out her over two decades of experience in the field, and we are not complaining. The mother-daughter duo team is here to stay.

Aditi got the ideal learning opportunity from an early age at her mother, Divya’s export house from the age when she was just happy entwining and getting entangled between colourful spools and yards of warp and weft. Years of cherishing and nurturing their dream, and many brainstorming sessions in later years has taken shape in a concrete platform now, invoking the ‘days gone by’ in their unique venture.
