Mangalore: Dressing up for Weddings, Parties, Festivals and special occasions is perhaps more difficult than going out and  getting dress itself. It is even more difficult when a woman has to accessorize her dress with --- Rings, Necklaces, Bangles and other stuffs.

A tedious job in earlier years, Mangalore's women lately, have found an easy way out. Brothers Tabrez and Fayaz in fancy articles business, having mixing and matching bangles to suit the fastidious tastes of women here.

Fayaz, who set up the Fancy shop 13 years ago, began dealing in glass bangles and necklace to give his shop an exclusive touch. He is quite well known in women's circles. "A few years ago, business wasn't good. But with the people watching TV more, they have caught onto the fashion and my business has improved," says Fayaz. The brothers, who hail from Uppala in Kasaragod, Kerala, get the bangles from Suhag Nagri Firozabhad in Uttar Pradesh, where bangles, kadas, and other items are  manufactured.

So what do they do when a woman approaches them with a fancy sari? " We have all types  of bangles, with stones of various shades. We mix and match them according to the    color and other details on the sari," explains Fayaz. "Not all customers happy, some walk out after a glance at  the price tag and some don't like our mix and match pattern. If the customers are not happy, we seeks their suggestions and try to use that pattern. We meet all types of people. But generally we are happy with response," admits Fayaz'z modestly. A customer who accessorized her sari with the bangles, recently compliments the brothers for their keen sense of color. "They leave you pleased with their patterns" she says, adding the cost was not the prohibitive. The glass bangles cost anywhere between Rs.5 and Rs.40 each and the cost depends upon how many one wants on the hand. "There is costlier stuff too. But the women mostly go in for mid-range bangles, as they do not use them often. But there are a few who go for the expensive stuff." decalares Fayaz, adding that "satisfied ladies" do come back again and their "word-of-mouth" publicity has helped them get more customers.
