Anokhi

Kolkata (Calcutta)


This boutique sells tasteful ethno-chic garments made from hand-dyed and hand-printed fabrics. Creations featuring Gujarati block prints seem to be the most popular, although tie-dye and batik have a strong presence as well. Most of the collection caters to women, while men have a limited choice of shirts to browse through.

Forum Courtyard Mall is contiguous to – and to the rear of – the more visible Forum Mall on Elgin Rd.
