Valentino Fashions

We are based at Valentino Fashions in the Bhelke Nagar area of Kothrud. Our shop is in Samudra Heights, which is a pretty well-known spot around here. Kothrud has changed a lot lately with so many new buildings, but it still feels like a neighborhood. We aren't a massive chain or anything like that. We just have this one place where we keep all our stock. It’s a bit of a walk from the main road, but people find us. We spend a lot of time just talking to the folks who stop by. Some are looking for something to wear to a wedding, others just want a new shirt for work. We try to keep the shelves looking decent, but by the end of a busy Saturday, it usually looks like a mess. We don't have a professional decorator. We just put things where they fit. The breeze comes in through the door when it’s open, which is nice in the summer. We’ve got a small team, mostly just family and a couple of friends who help out when things get hectic. It’s not a fancy lifestyle, but it’s ours. We like being in Bhelke Nagar. It’s a good community and we’ve made a lot of friends since we opened at Samudra Heights. We don't use big words or try to act like we're more than we are. We just sell clothes.
