Kalpana

Kalpana as the name suggests means creation. Kalpana store defines authentic elegant creations in clothing. Started by Ram Manglani in 1972, it defines exclusivity and grace. Now it's run by his son, Sanjeev Manglani under whose supervision the store is touching new heights.

Kalpana is not just another clothing boutique. Its exclusivity lies in its uniqueness and perfectionism. Kalpana store swears by the quality of its products. They will never compromise on the quality of the clothes. The store owes its success to the master weavers who with their skilled hands design clothes to perfection. Each cloth in the store has been made with great care keeping the likes and dislikes of the customer in mind. Each attire is done up aesthetically according to the demands of the clients.

Located in one of the Delhi's most busiest market, Connaught Place, it deals in specific type of clothing only. It has a double storied showroom beautifully displaying wide variety of clothes. The best part about Kalpana is that it houses clothes for all occasions, both informals and formals.

The saree section has all kinds of sarees from pure silk to kanjeevarams to exquisite embroidered sarees. They also have a marvelous collection of Salwar Kameez. Eye catching hand embroidered shawls also add to the brilliant collection. To top it all the clothes are available at a very reasonable price. The price range for sarees is 500 to 10,000, for shawls it's 500 to 25,000 and designer ready made Salwar Kameez start amazingly from 1500 to 8000.

At Kalpana everything is available under one roof, one need not go to a separate saree shop or separate salwaar Kameez shop. Most of the clients of Kalpana are professionals with exclusive tastes. And one of the qualities of Kalpana is that it is ever evolving.

It is planning to open more branches in the city. As Sanjeev Manglani puts it, "How far and how big will Kalpana go is not that important, but how good will it be."
