Contemporary Lustre

Melanie Puddick and Priya Menon

Chapter 5 in The Luxury Market in India, 2012, pp 48-68 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract After breakfasting and instructing her maids on details of the dinner party she is hosting that evening, Leela slips onto the back seat of her chauffeur-driven Mercedes and goes shopping for Dior stilettos, a bag from Fendi and an outfit from Indian luxury couturier Tarun Tahiliani. Next stop is a purchase for her husband, a Mumbai-based businessman with interests in shipping and hotels. From a small showroom facing the Arabian Sea, she is attended by three sales assistants before picking out a perfect white kurta, made of hand-loomed khadi and decorated with intricate stitching known by cognoscenti as chikankari.1
