Fancy stuff at fancy prices

CHANDIGARH, Oct 15: quot;Dress your home and dress yourselfquot; says the sign on the gate at the venue of a sale of clothes, jewellery, furniture, and linen. Inside, it8217;s truly fancy stuff 8211; at fancy prices. The joint venture of four women, this exhibition of clothes, jewellery, furniture and furnishings is on display at 1007, Sector 27.

Design Depot8217;s whimsical consoles, upholstered chairs, telephone table with chair, quaint pull out beds, coffee tables, fancy sofa sets and love seats are all made of teak so they don8217;t come cheap. The tiniest item starts at Rs 1,900 with Rs 25,000 on the upper end. The specially designed and printed chiks are eye catching and lend a charming ethnic touch to a room.

Now how about diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, onyx and pearls in unusual and creative designs? Gold settings, of course. Splendid! Get yourself insured. Mrs Middle Class could go in for the bed and cushion covers, table clothes and place mats if she8217;s been saving her money. Dinner sets in stone and bone china are also appealing and unique.

The garments 8212; in silk, crepe, cotton with embroidery 8212; are Meena Sondhi8217;s stunning creations and normally seen at her Sector 8 boutique, Mamp;A.
