Mall exclusively for Indian desigers in US

EDISON, NEW JERSEY: The first US mall exclusively for Indian designers has opened in Edison and is doing brisk business.

Ritu Kumar, Satya Paul, Manish Malhotra, Payal Singhal and Deepika Gehani are among the Indian labels represented at The Mall on the Oak Tree Road.

The road touches both Edison and Iselin, and a mile long stretch is known as 'Little India' because it is choc-a-bloc with Indian supermarkets, eateries and jewellery outlets.

Most of the spacious mall's 18 stores are occupied. Art Karat, Tanishq, D'damas and Gili are among the Indian jewellery brands that have booked space.

"It is a one stop shop for buying Indian labels, whether apparel or accessories. It's something South Asians here will be proud of," mall owner Triloki Nath Batra said.

Batra decided to open the mall when he noticed that many Indian Americans buy stuff from Indian designers while visiting India and Indians visiting the US had access only to American brands
