From
my early travels I had a love for collecting souvenirs. I travelled within the
country, collecting things that were cheaper versions of local handicraft,
which sat on the showcase before I got bored of them. When I began travelling
outside our country, I saw wonderful branded souvenirs that came as t-shirts,
fridge magnet, pen stands, wallets, bags, etc. I mean we all have seen union
jack on t-shirts and bags and have seen enough I love NY sweatshirts.
For
a long time I kept thinking of lack of such cool products which needn’t
necessarily be hand crafted but showed versatility and colorfulness of our
nation.
It
was sometime two years ago, I first stumbled upon Chumbak. Its funky, cool,
vibrant and wide product range immediately had my attention. It cannot be
explicitly called a brand that depicts India, but I feel it shows the spirit of
the county with its hip designs.
I
recently bought a mobile cover and I was quite impressed with the variety of
prints they offer. Second thing which is impressive about them is the right
marketing that they are doing with pop up stores and tie ups. They are present
at all major airports and have some of their collections displayed at most
souvenirs stores.
It
might be an early comment but so far, little products that I have used are good
quality too. Indeed it is value for money.
