U Carnival San Diego 2014

Utsav Fashion presents UCarnival San Diego 2014. For Free! That was the Facebook invitation I got a month ago and I was waiting very impatiently for this day to happen! Actually, starting today and all the way the long weekend the Utsav Fashion is going to be presenting and selling the high quality Indian clothes for men and women at the Holiday Inn Express in Rancho Bernardo.
So I went during my lunch hour (love that there is always so much to do in this area during lunch breaks!) with a bunch of colleagues and I was amazed with everything: colors, textures, fabrics, design… and huge amounts of saris, salwar kameez, indo western tunics, clutch purses, mens kurta pajama, and other small accessories. Most of my Indian colleagues did not buy anything (me neither but was a fest for my eyes) because of the prices are much expensive that those they get in India for same outfits (many pieces around $ 200).
This is somewhat a road show that is going to be circulating in different cities across the US and the prices are set to cater American audience. Still, I don’t find those prices excessive if you consider the hard work of so much hand stitching and beautiful appliques. Too colorful, too pretty, definitively dreamy.
This is a It’s a 3 day event, starting from February 14^th until 16^th, 2014.
From10 AM — 8 PM (on all 3 days)
