Let’s end with a wild card: Pooja Fashions. It’s tucked away near the train station. It looks a bit chaotic from the outside. Don’t be fooled.
They specialise in printed suits. You know, the kind with tiny mirrors or little flower embroidery. It’s the shop for your chachi who wants to look modern but comfortable.
And here’s the secret: they sell ready-made blouses. For sarees. That alone is worth the trip. No more begging your tailor for three weeks and getting a blouse that’s two sizes too small.
So, grab a friend. Wear comfortable shoes. And bring a large bag. You’re not leaving Southall with your wallet intact. But honestly? You’ll look fantastic.
Now go. Shopping. I’ll be at the chaat stall when you’re done. We have so much to discuss.
