AN OASIS IN THE DESERT! Imagine that you are watching a rather boring black and white movie and then suddenly everything shifts to brilliant color and the excitement begins, (not unlike the original Wizard of Oz movie)! As we exited one of the neighborhood restaurants, I noticed this store off to my left. Of course I want to check it out so we walk on over. As we enter, I just see an explosion of color and sparkles! Wow! My Indian friend would love this store and she only lives about 30 minutes away. She still wears traditional clothing especially for special occasions. Much of it is shipped from India or purchased during trips back home. I have priced similar garments in the Atlanta area and prices are grossly exaggerated. In this store, prices are very reasonable. They carry casual and more formal options and also have items for male and female customers. Just remember, these garments tend to be cut much smaller than American garments and may pose a challenge to curvier women. However, you can always try them on. Don't forget your sparkly sandals or embellished slippers to complete the look. This is the type of shop that I would rather visit with my friend so that she can tell me about all of the garments and how they are used, (especially the ceremonial ones). They sell saris, blouses, lehanga's, designer Kurta Shalwar, shoes and sandals, ethnic wedding dresses, jewelry, cosmetics, accessories, kids clothing and more. ***This would be a great place to purchase a unique gift or something special for yourself. They are conveniently located on Cuyahoga Falls Avenue in the North Hill section of Akron. *** I later showed my friend the pictures that I had taken. She was very excited and took a copy of their contact information. Yes, sharing is caring!
