“I loved attending Flo Bazaar this year as it is really well-curated. The three NGOs that participated showcased great products. I really liked how they are associating with them and helping them rather than just making it an exhibition for buying clothes,” said Pritee Poddar, home-maker.
“This is our first time at Flo Bazaar. It had some really nice exhibitors but I mostly liked the jewellery. I really liked the stall put up by Nornament,” said Mehr Sethi and Shiv Dandan, event managers.
“I liked how the stalls were spaciously assigned making it an easy shopping experience for us. I loved quite a few stalls and picked up some items for my mum,” said Suniti Kedia, a doctor.
