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.

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.

Whispering Willows Tumble out of the Closet

Children’s clothing has come of age. The little ones do not have to doll up looking like overgrown miniatures of mammas or papas anymore. They can be themselves and have their own identity as early as 0 months. It’s all about fashionable children’s garments, accessories and bedding with an Indian edge, following traditional weaves, hand-blocking, tie-dyeing, hand embroideries to deliver quaint, clean lines.
