Most of us know about Fabindia and their colourful & vibrant range of clothes and home decor accessories.Today let me take you inside one of their outlets in Chennai where the floor manager was kind enough to let me take some pictures inside.
The entrance is in traditional Chettinad style with wooden pillars and tiled terracotta roof.
A rainbow of colours greet you when you enter. Colours, Patterns, Textures is all your mind can think. 
Shades of orange bed linen displayed along the stairs leading to the next level. Beautiful Athangudi Tiles & Wood form the stairs.
I completely love this 'Trial Room' door on which this woven fabric is mounted, there is a tiny mirror on the side.
You'll find all the colours in the colour-wheel here. Now for some interesting finds from Fabindia... 
Embroidered Booti Organdy Curtain motif.
Three Flowers Organdy Curtain motif on light-weight sheer cotton organdy.
Chanderi Prakash Curtain motifs.
Kalam Jharokha Bedspreads in beautiful vegetable dyes.
Applique Organdy Phoolwari BedspreadsLoads and loads of crafts from India used in Fabindia products. Explore Fabindia. You can buy their amazing products online.

As much as I love FabIndia's fabrics and home decor, I enjoy the shopping experience so much becuase of the way they design and do up each of their stores :)
ReplyDeleteGreat source! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI remember going to their Chennai store(One near Spencers right?). It was a treat to the eyes. Did they not have a furniture display? The last time I went, the store seemed almost like a mini home. Great post

ReplyDeleteGreat post, but unfortunately Fab India is no longer the Fab India it used to be! I recently went and much to my surprise came out of the store empty handed (first time in almost a decade i should say) their quality has gone down, they don;t carry the basic stuff they used to and the prices have gone up tremendously.
