Avni Bhuva, B.N. Jewellers, Bodhi, Chhaap, Kity's Beauty Clinic,
Rang Vesh, Shringar, Tejal Design Studio

Avni Bhuva: Exclusive formal and informal designer wear for women
Avni Bhuva is a fashion designer who works only with natural fabrics. Avni designs both traditional Indian wear as well as Indo-Western outfits and accessories. Her collections include sarees, ghaghra cholis, salwar-kameez-dupatta sets, short kurta-pant-scarf sets, dupattas, scarves and stoles.



B.N. Jewellers: Gold, Diamond & Kundan Jewellery
B N Jewellers is an old and trusted jewellery house with its origins in Jambusar. The firm specialises in exquisite studded jewellery (also known as kundan or jadau), traditional gold and contemporary diamond jewellery with a special focus on wedding and bridal jewellery.



BODHI: Crafts, Textiles & Garments
Mala and Pradeep Sinha are both trained designers from the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, and have opened their own showroom in Baroda called BODHI. The name signifies Awareness, which is the underlying strength behind everything that this design couple does.

Shringar: Hand-embroidered Sarees, Kurtas and Saree Blouses
Exquisite hand-embroidered Sarees, Kurtas and Saree Blouses in natural fabrics are what Sonal Gandhi's Shringar specialises in. Especially hand embroidery (desi bharat - herringbone, chain and stem stitch) from Kathiawad and Saurashtra, with typical desi motifs like mor-popat, keri and so on.

CHHAAP: Original Prints from some of Baroda's best-known artists
Established on a co-operative basis, Chhaap tries to create and promote wider appreciation of original prints.
 

Tejal Design Studio: Brocade lifestyle items, designer sarees and dupattas
A treasure chest of brocade lifestyle items designed by Tejal Panthaki. Tejal studied Textile Design at the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad. When she shifted to Baroda in the early eighties, she opened her boutique, which was perhaps the city's first and only lifestyle store for at least a decade.
 

RangVesh: Designer & Ethnic Wear and Designer Indian Formal Wear
Baroda's first hep, ethnic women's wear boutique continues to operate now on a much bigger scale, with a larger range of textiles, embroidery and garment designs, an added floor, and a new chakachak look. However, the old warmth is the same, the good quality is guaranteed, and the pricing is
                    as reasonable as can be.
 


Kity's Beauty Clinic:
Name any Baroda socialite or celebrity and nine times on ten, it's Kity Bhayani who is taking care of her beauty needs. She is also the preferred beautician for local fashion photographers doing model shoots.
