Thank You, Hyderabad! EXPO-3 Was a Grand Success π
Three days. Thousands of handloom pieces. And a city that showed up for us once again. EXPO-3, Hyderabad β held on 2, 3 & 4 October at Tabla Banquet Halls, KPHB β turned out to be a grand success, and half of everything we brought went home with you.
When we packed our boxes in Chilakaluripet for our third trip to Hyderabad, we hoped for a good response. What we got was beyond anything we had planned for. From the first hour on Friday morning to the last bill on Sunday night, the hall at Tabla Banquet Halls stayed busy β and by the end of the weekend, half of our stock had found new homes.
EXPO-3 in Numbers
Here is how the three days went, counted from our expo billing:
- ποΈ Nearly 5 pieces per bill on average β most of you shopped for the whole family
- π₯ Over half of all pieces sold on Day 1 β the opening day crowd was something special
- π Frocks were a big favourite β handloom cotton frocks and kids' frocks were among the most-picked items
- β¨ Kurti sets led the way β our new floral & butterfly cotton sets, Mangalagiri 3PC sets and Premium Ikat sets kept the racks moving
Why an Expo Means So Much to Us
We are an online brand at heart β most of you meet us through a reel, a WhatsApp message or a parcel at your door. But a product page can never answer every question. How does this drape? Is the colour really this rich? Will this suit my mother? At the expo, you held the fabric up to the light, felt the cotton and chose with your own hands.
And we got to meet you β the faces behind the orders, comments and messages. That is the part we will remember long after the racks are packed away.
π A Heartfelt Thank You
To every one of you who walked into Tabla Banquet Halls, waited patiently at the billing counter, and carried home a piece of handloom β thank you. To our followers who shared our posts and brought friends and family along β this success belongs to you.
And to the weavers and stitching artisans behind every piece: half of our stock in three days means more work, more income and more pride for the hands that made them. Hyderabad, you did not just shop β you supported handlooms.
