An affordable offering for the Mumbai fashion crazy, the boutique has a collection of trendy clothes, accessories, bags and footwear. At present, Aspasia stocks clothes by Surabhi Kalsi and jewellery by Ridhika Jesrani (from New York). The boutique also has a home collection which would be expanding very soon. 
Spread in 350 sq. feet, it situated in the by-lanes of Bandra Linking Rd. and is almost like a multi designer store where all young designers get a platform to retail. “Having worked with a predominantly Middle Eastern clientele and being an Indian by origin, I have brought together the influences from these two cultures in my work. Aspasia is going to be one platform where young talents will be welcomed to retail from. Even the price range is very affordable starting at Rs 1200.
We not only style but also design for special clients as per the requirements” said owner and designer Surabhi Kalsi. Taking inspiration from the great cultural mix that defines the urbane; the designer has created a full range of festive collection and is going to preview a special Diwali collection very soon. Keeping the ethnic, cultural feel, Surabhi has played upon rich textiles and a wealth of intricate hand embroideries integrated with the palette of pastels and bright colours, latest trend, local tastes and modern silhouettes.
Silhouettes mostly comprised of day dresses, salwar kameez with transparent churidar and sarees created out of sheer fabrics such as chiffon, tissues and georgettes; embedded with traditional embroideries, crystals and stone works. Dupattas have been accentuated in various Indian crafts such as Kantha, Madubani, Banarasi Brocade and so on.
