Buzzaria (A multi brand retail store)


Buzzaria - An Indian Bazaar.....By Blue Lotus
For Women....By Women
The name has originated from the word "Bajaria" the local market at Sawai Madhopur.I am and was in complete fascination with the name and the local bazaar.Voila! one day while staying at The Ranthambhore Bagh.....I knew I am going to call my store Bajaria or inspired from that word....I was wondering maybe bazaria...buzaaria....and then Eureka :) next minute I got the word Buzzaria...what fun I was maha impressed with myself...haha....

Why an Indian Bazaar???

India is rich in culture.I find the diversification fascination. The varied religions,languages,traditions and festivals.
The colors,the spices,the artisans and the CRAFT…makes me wonder, how can one country have so much beauty.
My country makes me dance…the music, the dance forms, the talent.
With equal love and enthusiasm we accept all that comes from other cultures,the luxuries,the brands,the art of retail, the twists n turns in the food palette :)

So,an Indian Bazaar is an amalgam of all the above and ever changing and ever growing.
Buzaaria is the synthesis of an Indian Bazaar. A Bazaar Buzzing in all possible ways.
Buzzaria the brand belongs to Blue Lotus.

Blue Lotus has seven more brands

GodBless - Candles and Blessings
Mimathyma- Fashion as varied as the Butterflies
MeriJaan- Fun with Color and Textiles
EcoStorey - Go Green,Go Eco Friendly...that's the Buzz
HandsOn - The Handmade World
IamRa - Healing Services and Products
BluPear - The Indian Ethnic Chappals for your paer :)

All the above brands and many more by various social enterprises, NGOs,Fair Trade Organizations,Product Designers and Fashion Designers.

Women Entrepreneurs and various start ups of 2011 in the design space have come together in one space to give you a glimpse of the India...of the Now. 

Buzzaria is the traditional,the ethnic,the contemporary,the new,the modern,the latest,the old,the fashionable,the hip and the fun stuff all do a merry dance together.

The choice is humongous,you have to see it to believe it :))

Buzzaria DELHI’S BEST NEW SHOP (in TimeOut magazine Nov 2011)


DELHI’S BEST NEW SHOPS

Buzzaria
In a city where kitsch is king, a new store with its whimsical wares is sure to create the right buzz. Welcome Buzzaria: a loud mela of kitsch and Indo-Western merchandise.
Mango walls with pink paisley greet you at the entrance. The inside is a mélange of every possible hue. Variously coloured portions of the walls provide a backdrop to the different brands, merging perfectly with the bright merchandise.
After running Tribal Route in Mumbai, owner Mamta Mamta returned to the city with a new store under the umbrella of her mother brand Blue Lotus. Buzzaria has six in-house and over 20 others brands at present. Each range has a different story to tell. If you are in the mood for an ethnic shopping spree, turn to hand-embroidered chappals from BluPear, healing crystals from IamRa, vibrant kaftans with block prints and beadwork from Mimathyma, or brocade silk bikini cholis paired with ghaghra skirts from Meri Jaan.
In a philanthropic mood? The chunky pearl-and-kundan handmade jewellery from Hands On (run by an NGO) or stuffed toy owls made by autistic children are sure to make you feel better about spending. And the rustic home accessories made of guava wood, coconuts shells and other natural materials from EcoStorey certainly get the green signal from us.
However, if kitsch’s your thing, jump with joy, as the store is the first to bring Mumbai brands Quirkbox and Bechain Nagri to our city. Slip into kooky pop-art dresses, shorts and jackets from Quirkbox, give vent to your mixed emotions with T-shirts from Ediots, overdose on Bollywood with bags and clutches from Item Number, and finally, try matching the illustrations of NID designers with your own doodles in notebooks from Bechain Nagri.  
Before you decide to make a pit stop at this little shop though, be forewarned that it’s not likely to be a quick stop. And once the store ropes in new brands and expands out to fill its basement and first floors, the hours spent browsing here could lengthen to days. Akshita Nahar
F- 343 Bhram House, Old MB Road, Lado Sarai (4579-3261). Qutab Minar. Daily 11am-9pm. Products from Rs.25.
