| Mumbai fashion boutiques "Our USP," explains Butter's owner Nitika Dheer, "is that we stock merchandise that ranges from as little as Rs 200 to Rs 6,000 and
up. We cater to all ages, budgets, and tastes." And all this in a store that's
barely bigger than a closet. Jammed with clothes from China, Turkey and India,
Butter is a muststop for anyone touring the Bandra shopping circuit. Not only do
they stock popular local

Cabas designers like Karen Fernandes for clothes, Honey Kasturi for
jewelry, and Purnima Menon for bags, but they also do a great deal of
customization. "Bring in a picture

dress you want, and we'll have it made by one of our designers that's best for
the job," explains Dheer. They even build accessories and jewelry from scratch,
and recently crafted a bracelet with customized charms for a Sweet Sixteen
birthday.

Nanno Tote been designer Dilip Mehra's muse. It seems about right

dictates, or designer labels. Besides catering to "freespirited" women, Mehra
claims that his store is also "the best kept secret" for several big designers
and Bollywood stylists, who source here regularly. His brocade Afghan pants and
dresses crafted from silk saris stand out from the dime a dozen harem pants and
baby doll dresses to be found in Bandra. Which is why Mehra and his team of
three don't feel the need to customize. "Our pieces are unique as it is. Every
stitch has meaning, every design has soul. That's about as customized as you can
get," he says.
When Taxxi met Vitamin K, there was instant chemistry. The brands were different enough to have their own identities (Taxxi's wearable daytonight
dresses never clashed with Vitamin K's statement accessories), yet similar
enough to want to move in together. "And that's our USP two separate but
coexisting vibes in one retail space," say the owners. "Recently, an old client
from Dubai called to say she wanted ten dresses and hung up the phone. She
didn't even ask to see design sketches

Shanbhag of Vitamin K too, stretches herself to meet client needs. "Requests for
