Approach Honest Crafters, Fabrix or AmeVi Designs to get the bag made as per your specifications. And why stop with just one? After all, there is nothing like too much bag love, is it?
5. Lingerie
Women know that bras are just not a piece of clothing. They are an integral part of her dressing, contribute majorly to her appearance and are her comfort and confidence boosters. An ill-fitting bra is any woman’s worst nightmare. That’s why you need a bra that is made especially for your body and style.
