A two-day exhibition Aura being orgnised at Hotel Madhuban has brought designers from across the country with their arrays of items ranging from jewellery to designer wears, bags and quilts.
Serafina Style from Delhi has a wide range collection of suits and kurtis, designer clothing and all varieties of fabric, “However, the volume of sale is not much,” said Sahil Duggal, the owner. Ravi Bhalla from Muzaffarnagar, a fashion designer who owns Tanchhui, said the brand was popular for its pure kim khab which comes all the way from Banaras.
“It has an exclusive and beautiful collection of designer wears and as far sales are concerned, we have only personal clientage from Dehradun” he added. DS Negi, the owner of Himalayan Beets, is well known for his semi-precious stones, jewelry, and necklaces.
His specialty is a singing bowl. Once the metal bowl is hit with a tong the echo keeps increasing for a short while. The bowl is made of seven metals (silver, gold, tin, iron, white metal and brass, copper).
He says “Sales have been normal but I am getting attention from the people”. Poonam Oberoi (Mumbai), the organiser said, “There are very few customers, something that is disappointing.”
