What you see - One thing that you see at Fabindia, Hyderabad is the fact that it is popular both among foreigners visiting India and Indians looking west. That's probably because of the great ethnic wear in trendy designs that you see at the store. In fact, ethnic wear was never so "cool" until Fabindia made us realize this fact. No wonder we see hordes of people here trying to choose the right piece of clothing that would help them flaunt their ethnic inclination with style.
Now this spacious store at Banjara Hills, Hyderabad (right place for a store like this!!!) sports a serene ambiance what with even the lilting music adding to the great shopping experience in Hyderabad. The goods are neatly placed with labels on the panels naming the product and the size. So locating a product is quite easy here. And if it isn't then the knowledgeable sales staff here does help you out.
What you get - Now this store in hyderabad is popular not just for its amazing collection of kurtis, kurtas, dupattas and stoles but also home décor products, body care products, jooties and organic eatables. By the way, one of the best things about the clothes over here is that they come in extra small, small, medium, large and extra large sizes. So no alterations required for what you buy from here.
Talking about the product range (which is quite huge!), Fabindia, Hyderabad has something for everyone starting from the just-born to the grannies. Long, medium and small kurtas in cotton, Kalamkari and silk; skirts, dresses and lehenga cholis for kids up to eight years old; formal shirts and jackets; stoles, dupattas, sarees in cotton, Mangalgiri, Kalamkari, Orissa silk and Jaipur silk (Rs.. 2,500 - 3,500)... the collection is simply awesome.
Would-be mothers can also find something for them here. For men they have the kurtas and the well-designed shirts. Apart from the clothes, they also have reams and reams of towels, curtains and pretty bed covers in pastel shades. These are available at affordable prices.
Our verdict - While we would like to be magnanimous with compliments for this Hyderabad store, we also came across one irksome fact. We were told that the price tag on the apparel may differ from the one fed into the system sometimes. In that case, the price that shows up on the computer screen will be the final. Now that's a little absurd. Nonetheless, it's a great place to shop for all your ethnic needs. And if at all you would want to exchange, you can do that within a week of purchase time. But make sure you keep the bill as well as the tag on the clothing intact.
