I'm attending my first Indian wedding next month and had no clue where to begin when it came to finding an outfit. After frantically searching the internet, I stumbled upon Rupees and was instantly intrigued. I've driven by numerous times in Wynwood, but never thought about going in. This was my chance!
We got there right when it opened on Saturday. Two brothers that own the store helped both my husband and I find the perfect outfits. They gave us a variety of options at different price points, and patiently walked us through what's typical for these types of occasions.
In the end, he walked away with a full kurta outfit, and me a bright pink saree with gold bangles. They had so many accessories to choose from (nose rings, earrings, headpieces, etc), but I had to show a bit of restraint. Afterwards, they emailed me a video of how to wrap the saree again which I know will come in handy.
The store has bee open in the same location since 1994 (just imagine what Wynwood was like back then!). They initially only sold more home furnishings and accessories, which are still available in today.
Overall, this was such a better option than blindly ordering off the internet. Would totally recommend if you're looking for an Indian outfit, or just want to pop in for a peek while in the area. read more
