Christina, the owner, as well as her assistant, were always ready to answer questions and search for the right-size of dresses or blouses for me. The clothing is exquisitely crafted and just gorgeous. Between the Home Stay next door, run by her sister Charlotte and the men's clothing boutique located on the other side of the ladies, the Walton family certainly contributes to the reputation and prestige of the Indian culture and, of course, Fort Kochi. Congratulations!

I got 3 rings made by Wahid and am super pleased with all of them. He allowed me to control every detail of the design to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. The whole family were always welcoming and shared chai with us. Highly recommend getting jewellery made here ☺️

This is a must visit, unique boutique for any art and design aficionado ~ classy, elegant and offers a welcome retreat for design and garment lovers in myriad ways. So delighted to have tried and purchased high quality, handwoven garments that have a contemporary and aesthetic appeal. The garments have a wonderful flow and structure to them, and are ideal as transition wear during the day and evening. The founder and creator Joe was very gracious and his staff was very welcoming during our visit to Fort Kochi. This was undoubtedly a key highlight of our vacation!
