Raj Collection

If you’re looking for tasteful (i.e. not gaudy, tackily-​embroidered, generic outfits that make you look like a Christmas tree-​on-​steroids), good quality, designer Indian clothes in British Columbia at reasonable prices, this is your best bet by far.
Raj collection carries a range of salwar kameezes, lehengas, and sarees, most of which are beautiful and tasteful. The owner Raj Sodhi has exquisite taste herself, and travels to India at least once a year to select the items for her store. She carries select pieces from top designers like Neeta Lulla, Tarun Tahiliani, and Rohit Bal, to name a few, and carries a large range of sarees by Satya Paul. Intermixed are more middle-​range garments that are equally tasteful and unique.
Although she has top end items, she is very reasonably priced for what she carries and is more than willing to barter. This is in contrast to shops such as Crossover Bollywood se where the prices are quite high and fixed. Inability to barter does not go down well with people of Indian descent!
Her customer service is fantastic and although she carries top-​end items, she doesn’t make quick judgements based on how «expensive» you look as a means of deciding whether she should provide you with great service. She is typically quite attentive.
She also carries unique and tasteful costume jewelry, shawls, and a few children’s outfits. She also carries garments by Pakistani designers which you probably won’t find elsewhere in B.C.
The only potential downside is that her shop is very much a boutique, which means that the sizes can vary and the pieces overall are not abundant in number. However, since almost every item in her store is special, that makes a nice change from the usual chaotic, generic, overstuffed Indian clothes store of which there are far to many in Surrey and Vancouver. Her location in west Burnaby is more convenient for Vancouverites like myself, but may be inconvenient for the customer from Surrey who might expect all shops to center around the busy Payal Business Centre. However, it is worth the short trip from Surrey!
In short, the best all-​round Indian clothes store in the lower mainland and probably in Western Canada. If you think you have good taste in Indian clothes, you need to make a trip here and it will quickly become your favourite.
