Shopping for Indian outfits in the U.S. and Canada is like choosing the perfect pearl from a million oysters—only instead of finding it, you emerge feeling nostalgic, yearning for that exciting Indian wear shopping experience back home.

Hi, I’m Neha Mahapatra, founder of NOVEMBER Ethnic Studio, an artisanal Indian boutique in the U.S and let me tell you, after ten years in the States. I’ve pined for those elegant Indian wear boutiques more than for Pani Puri. Growing up in India, the thrill of hunting for that perfect ethnic outfit was unmatched—whether for Diwali or a wedding, I’d comb through streets and streets of artisans with local designers, tailors, and karigars - each piece more breathtaking than the last. You know that feeling of a long yet satisfying shopping day of hustle-bustle, hopping from store to store, and finally saying yes to one of the most captivating outfits you have ever laid your eyes on. Oh, how I miss those days! And that’s why I founded NOVEMBER Ethnic Studio. What better name for my store than the month of festivities? My mission is simple: to bring the essence of Indian heritage to you —without the hassle of hunting down that one elusive high-quality boutique. At NOVEMBER, we craft our outfits ethically, infusing the soul of celebration into every stitch. It’s all about making you feel effortlessly stylish yet glam, memorable yet timeless—like a perfectly executed Bollywood dance number that makes you feel as though the stage was specially made for you. So, whether you’re prepping for a wedding or just want to add a splash of festivity on any day, let NOVEMBER be your go-to. Because trust me, you can take the girl out of India, but you can’t take the love for fabulous ethnic wear out of the girl. If I can help you skip the maze and get straight to the celebration, that’s a win in my book!
