Store Profile: Indya Kaleidoscope, Part II

I am inspired by this young lady - Preethi Prabhu of IK



Now for some more good news - Preethi has set up a beautiful brick-and-mortar (physical) store in Koramangla, Bengaluru  (India). And,  I had to share pictures of her amazing store on DE :-)..

So here we go....

Her mission to revive forgotten Indian art and craft forms and look beyond profits is what makes her venture stand out

    Gorgeous! Wishing Preethi and the IK store all success and prosperity. Love the distinct casual way of showcasing products at IK. Helps customers visualise how a product would look in their living rooms.
