Right, its pretty hard for an English bloke to review an Indian clothes shop for women, but here's…read morewhat I think of it anyway. The clothes are all really pretty and nice and shiny and colourful and the girls look nice with them on. Also, its much cheaper than most of the places for clothes in Rusholme. This and the nearby Shagun seem to me to be the TK-Max of Rusholme fashion, by which I mean that they sell the same clothes, but arrange them in a disorderly fashion and cut the prices drastically. Can't work out why they do this, or why people still buy the same clothes from the more expensive shops. Any ideas?

The question has to be: Chaal I buy some shoes from here?…read more Chall: Shoes 4 You, is a posh shoe and clothes shop in Rusholme. It sells a vast array of beautifully decorated shoes, saris and the like. Even though the website has a catalogue of only shoes and accessories, in the shop itself most of the space is taken up by clothes. Chaal is actually a manufacturing company as well as a shop so they are selling their own products. Its been around for about 20 years. Expect to pay around £25- £50 for a pair of shoes, be if for men or women, and accessories (mainly bags) for around £15. They also do bridal items and a kids selection.

One of my friends had an Asian Ball to attend and she was in search for very decorative, posh,…read morebling shoes. Chaal matched the requirements perfectly well and she came out with a turquoise blue stiletto with sequenced lace all around. It was gorgeous for someone who likes a little bit of shine and colour! They have a vast collection of shoes, more like bridal themes and they also so accessories which are quite intricate in their design. It is very different from any of the City Centre stores and it is unique in its kind. If there is something traditional coming up or you are looking for something very new but detailed, this place would be precise for you!

I'm going to have to stop reviewing it now because I cant think of anything that they don't sell, so what would be the point of telling you what the do sell...?
