With new arrivals ushering in almost every day, Bunaai is often our go-to store for budget (and offbeat) lehengas and kurtas. This brand gets its pieces designed in-house and the quality is top-notch. The suit collection that comes with a kurta, pant, and dupatta is legit out of a Bollywood movie, and it has something for everyone. Bandhani, indigo prints, pastels, Shibori, tassels, tie-dye — the store has stocked it all up. We even loved their miller cotton jumpsuits which are airy, bright and super elegant.
