What makes this store truly special is not only the colourful alternative Indian style clothing and chunky rustic jewellery, it's the special people who work there and who are genuinely down to earth, friendly and always helpful. They also have a wide range of incense, embroidered throw cushions, and little knick knacks that are always fun to fossick through. On top of that, they have a loyalty program where if you spend over a certain amount (I think it's $200) over a year or two, from then on you get 15% off everything else you buy there. They also have a store at the Canberra Centre shopping centre. I ask for gift vouchers for birthdays and Christmas presents as I always find something a little different there for a very reasonable price.

Approximate cost: $40 (skirt)
