Where to buy Indian clothes online in the USA
by Ayesha Jain, 20 August 2019
Indians take pride in celebrating their culture no matter which part of the world they live in. With a large number of non-resident Indians (NRIs) living in the US after marriage, there is always an opportunity to get together with fellow Indians to celebrate festivals and events such as Diwali, Indian Independence Day and many others. NRIs love to wear Indian dresses on these occasions and the latest Indian fashion trends are often inspired by Bollywood movies.
If you have recently relocated to the US for marriage, you maybe wondering where are the best places to shop for your ethnic wear?
