| The
fabulous saris, funky trouser suits, unique skirt
suit designs and lenghas were enough to tempt me
to persuade my best friend to get married! I noticed
that there were a variety of people purchasing the
outfits here, not only the traditional Asian Grandma
to the trendiest Asian Luton girl but also Afro-Carribean
& middle class Luton Caucasian ladies, definately
not something I would've seen ten years ago! |

There
are plenty of nice places to eat and shop. One of
my favourites was Pind
restaurant , surprisingly, one of the few sit down,
family restaurants in Bury Park. The food is so
delicious, even your Granny would be too busy eating
to claim she could make the same thing at home with
one small aubergine. |
| Slightly
further up from Pind, is Nyla,
a fashion house which focuses on stylish contemporary
fashion, including both smart and casual wear. The
shop has everything you could possibly want for
any classy occasion from real pashminas to classy
Punjabi suits. Jemima Goldsmith would feel at home
there and you don't need her budget to shop there!
The only thing spoilt in this shop is you! The outfits
are arranged in a rainbow affect, a complete palette
of colours, and the men are not left out either! |

|
So
you have the outfits sorted, but if there is one
thing we have learnt from watching Sex and the City,
that is that no outfit is complete without the perfect
pair of shoes. If you like your footwear to have
an Eastern look, you don't need to head to the airport
because So
Chic! shoe wholesalers specialises
in stylish shoes from the Indian sub-continent.
|
| I
noticed how well groomed all the ladies around Bury
Park were, I finally, realised why when I saw Klassix
Beauty Salon. Amber of Klassix combines
the latest Western Beauty treatments with the ancient
beauty secrets of the East, including Eyebrow threading
and facials. Chatting to her whilst having a mehndi
design applied to my hand I discovered there is
a whole new breed of highly qualified second and
third generation Asian professionals in Luton …

| Looking
(even more) gorgeous, full stomach and bags full
of shopping it was now time for me to get my train
back to London, I must admit, I was a bit reluctant
to leave. Next time, I want to do any ethnic shopping,
in a friendly environment I will know where to come,
and I definitely won't be leaving it for so long
to return this time! |
