Anita Dongre's store oozes refined luxury with its classic English saloon style decor. Her clothing line blends European minimalism with oriental influences through simple yet elegant silhouettes and classic patterns.

When pretending to be an exhausted bride, Dipti showed her beautiful, minimalist maxi dresses that would be comfortable after a wedding and suitable for travel, available from about 10,000 rupees.
