Street Accessories
You’re going to want to show up to any tea party and all summer get-together wearing one of these sleek, Indian street accessories.
You know why? Because they belong to the grassroots street wear of India. Most of the trinkets are inspired by the teenagers, youths and crafts of India. Some brilliant Indian artists and craftsmen create them. Every earring, neckpiece, and a bracelet is alive with kaleidoscopic Indian stones, regional crafts like meenakari, kundan, polka, and pearls. Oxidized jewelry is also a star attraction of street markets. They all boasts of a unique Indian grace; but have one thing in common and that’s the blended charm of Indian heritage & street fashion. You can easily find it amid the hustle-bustle of colourful Indian markets, such as Commercial Street in Bangalore, Sarojini Nagar in Delhi, Arpora Saturday Night Bazar, Goa, and many many more.
