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.

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.

Shilpa Jhaveri's Saaz Creations
Shilpa designs embroidered and hand printed sarees, salwar suits, Indo-Western outfits and bridal trousseaux. She has a large variety of traditional and contemporary embroidery designs that are all executed by her talented embroiderers who work from her home under her supervision.

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.
 

Gita Sheth's Vaarso:
Dr. Gita Sheth is an author, historian, translator and connoisseur of antiquities and artworks, especially textile work for traditional home decoration such as chaklas, toran, barsakh (L-shaped door decoration), dwar toran and so on. She has also acquired the agency for Aura Herbal fabrics.
 

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.
 

Seasons: Traditional Indian Wear For Stylish Women &Trendy Teenagers
Seasons, Vadodara, has always been associated with great quality, contemporary styling and reasonable pricing on women's traditional Indian wear. The outfits are made from the finest pure cottons, silk and linen. We also have a small but exclusive range of outfits for men.
