spicy~spicy~mild: Day onnnne

We arrived in Delhi late on Wednesday night so went straight to our home for the next few days (the Jacaranda) relaxed and went to bed.
Waking up for our first day we all had a lush breakfast made for us in our apartment, getting ready for a biggg day if shopping!!

Once we sorted some stuff out we went across the road to N Block, our local shops. We are defiantly staying in a more upmarket part of Delhi and there were some really beautiful
Clothes and jewellery ! After about an hour our drivers took us to get some lunch (deliccccious) then we walked to Nehru place where all the fabric shops and trim shops are.
My mind was blooooooownnn!!! Most shops were about four metres high filled with fabric and multiple levels. I was completely overwhelmed. And took a while to actually start buying some fabric.
We were there for about three hours and in the end we al had metres and metres of fabric !!!
After buying all our fabrics for our block printing (and more for my own collection) we went to some alley ways where young Indian designers had some stores. We were pretty exhausted but when we walked a little further into the less touristy areas we found men dying fabric and tracing embroidery patterns in tiny little rooms. Was so great to see !!
We were also lucky enough to be let into one of Julie's friends studios where he does increeeedible hand work with his team. Rahjid does work for some major designers overseas such as Oscar de la Renta. He also has his own label of less extravagant clothing which is really beautiful and nice to see close up.
Next we went to some markets and at this point we were a little delirious! We walked around and Jim Alex and I ended up buying some traditional matching outfits which we will all wear one day.....ヽ(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ
Some of us then went out for a lush dinner over at N Block.
Super wild first day in India !!!!
