Radio Cairo is back with a bang. This Thursday, Olive Beach will don the look of a flea market. You can shop for funky clothes, bags, jewellery and accessories while sipping on your Cosmopolitan and listening to music by DJ Iggy.
From Amanda Bachalli's range of exciting clothes to the The Ants' selection of dazzling apparel and black pottery to the Glashopper's offering of original stained glass, it's all here. Ssara Idiculla's brand Ssara Designs offers handmade jewellery, Psybaba has clothes and accessories in psychedelic colours, Myeisha has a fabulous range of clothes for women, and PAWS has goodies for your pooch.
Amanda Bachalli says, "The emphasis is on cut and fit both of which pay homage to the male and female body form."
The Ants is an NGO from Assam, which has merged traditional designs with modern sensibilities. Look out for clothes in the price range of Rs 425 to Rs 1800, black pottery for Rs 150 to Rs 900, exquisite baskets for Rs 250 to Rs 800 and jewellery for Rs 150 to Rs 2,000.
From sun catchers to massive door panels and from corporate gifts to Tiffany-style glass lampshades, the Glashoper has goodies for anywhere between Rs 350 and 18,000.
Designer Sharon Idiculla designs handmade jewellery in sterling silver with precious/semi-precious beads and crystal in the price range of Rs 700 and Rs 5,000.
Psybaba reflects the multihued and spirited vibe of a psychedelic culture. Sourced by Tanya and Saher from their travels across India, the collection includes indigenous arts and crafts. Look out for smart accessories and home deco items.
Indira of Myeisha says, "My collection at Radio Cairo will have a very holiday look. The clothes come in a profusion of bright colours like greens, reds, violets, purples and yellows with multi-coloured sequins and ethnic motifs and Indian embroidery on tops, tunics, kaftans and dresses."
Chilli billi offers easy-on-the-purse clothes, shoes, handbags, accessories and pop art/photo prints. While earrings start at Rs 60, bags are priced at Rs 2,500.
DJ Iggy will plays songs from Marrakesh and Damascus weaving them into diverse genres of sounds like underground, electro jazz, ambient and slo-mo disco.
