Eagle Block Printing & Tailoring (aka Iksha Designs) is where you should head to for custom designs on dupattas and dresses. You can also buy from their pretty collection of hand printed couture. Located in the bylanes of Eagle Chowk in Secunderabad, is a boutique cum block printing and tailoring store where you can take your plain fabrics for a makeover. Run by Latika Kumar and her daughter Shobita Kumar, who is a fashion designer — you can get your fabrics dyed, tailored, and embroidered to your liking here. Or pick from their boutique that has palazzo pants, gowns, sarees, kurtis, and dupattas. You can go empty handed to return with a beautifully handcrafted piece made using printing blocks as well. Their catalogue offers lovely designs and colours to choose from, and they have over 3,000 blocks so it's rare to not find something to admire. You can mix and match a few prints (be sure to check out their Kathakali and Madhubani prints) to get a unique piece of clothing. We watched the designs being stamped onto cotton fabric and can vouch for the skill of their artisan who effortlessly revamped a white cloth into a designer piece. The best part? It only takes a day's time for them to dye and print on fabric.
