I came to the store with no real purpose, and very little knowledge of the culture. I went to a gorgeous temple in southwest ranch, for a yoga event, saw some women in sarees which enticed to see see what else I can learn from in this big city. Google search led me here . Fast forward I muster up the courage to get out of my bubble. I couldn’t be happier to have found this place. The have an area of home decor which was incredibly easy to get lost in all the detail. There’s some clothing that isn’t saree, dresses skirts and such. What I can assume are the owners are SO incredibly nice. The reviews are true, I could make this review only on how nice they are ! They Helped me try on a saree. No I don’t have a wedding coming up. It’s a more casual style. The experience was so lovely I don’t care if I only wear it at home, mental health day in a gorgeous and soft saree sounds amazing.
As I wait patiently for an invitation to a glamorous Indian wedding. I’ll enjoy my saree, return for more next time I’m in town.
As a wonder-er? I left with a saree, dupatta, incense a handful of bindi’s two skirts I can wear anytime. A LIST of must watch Bollywood movies, restaurant recommendations, upcoming events I can’t miss and a full heart knowing I left with two...
Read moreSome perks and details I find cool about Rupees include: *Discounts for UM alumni *Free parking while you visit, right in front of the store (a rarity in Wynwood) *The ability to try on the jewelry *Lovely inside decor and eye-catching murals on the side of the store make for great photo backdrops. It’s not only a picture-friendly place; in fact, it’s encouraged and likely the store owners will help you! *Being the highlight of Wynwood Art Walks, where they host free henna, performances, and saree draping workshops *Their care for fellow small businesses in consistently advertising/recommending other local shops/services *Their care for the community in donating fabrics for masks during the pandemic and helping out with a COVID relief project (pictured below with friends modeling them) *Their high activity on social media; the store owners really make an effort to engage followers
I’ve personally been coming here since I first found out about its existence in my school’s alumni business page (it’s all about the |__|!) in 2014 and plan on continuing to do so. Highly recommended,...
Read moreThis store manages to strike the balance of selling the latest fashions in comfortable sarees, other types of fine wardrobe/accessories and quality home decor while maintaining an authentic Indian ambiance, making for a great shopping and cultural experience all in one. I’d know as I’ve purchased items from each of the previously mentioned categories. Rupees is not only an essential part of Wynwood with its building’s signature murals and unique theme, but also a much-needed institution in a city that doesn’t boast many places that cater to the South Asian market. I think regardless of background, everyone can enjoy this store’s merchandise, as it has wide appeal and offers an escape from typical Miami fare. For proof of its global reach, look through Rupees’s social media. You’ll see pics of customers of the day that comes from all over the world. Be sure to make this your one-stop shop for upcoming weddings, resorts vacations, Bolly-themed parties, home renovations, and really anything else you can think of where...
