In 1966, I opened an East Indian boutique clothing shop, "Designs Because of Sat Purush" in Westwood, CA specializing in handmade "kurtas" (the loose collarless shirts and wide leg pants with a drawstring), We made the classic eastern Indian style but used bright paisley fabrics.
The store was featured in Look magazine, Life magazine and Women's Wear Daily and Fashion Week. There was a parade of celebrities including George Harrison, the Monkees, The Byrds, Jim Morrison, Buddy Rich and his band, along with other movie & music industry people coming in and out of the boutique wanting their clothes as well as their huge handmade pillows. One hugely popular band, The Strawberry Alarm Clock wore kurtas made by Cathy and her store during all of their performances. Their "Incense & Peppermints" album cover was shot in the boutique. I'm still making their stage clothes.
The brick & mortor shop has long been closed but I'm now plugged into the internet & making many different items & Etsy is a great place to showcase them.
