Christina, the owner, as well as her assistant, were always ready to answer questions and search for the right-size of dresses or blouses for me. The clothing is exquisitely crafted and just gorgeous. Between the Home Stay next door, run by her sister Charlotte and the men's clothing boutique located on the other side of the ladies, the Walton family certainly contributes to the reputation and prestige of the Indian culture and, of course, Fort Kochi. Congratulations!

This is a must visit, unique boutique for any art and design aficionado ~ classy, elegant and offers a welcome retreat for design and garment lovers in myriad ways. So delighted to have tried and purchased high quality, handwoven garments that have a contemporary and aesthetic appeal. The garments have a wonderful flow and structure to them, and are ideal as transition wear during the day and evening. The founder and creator Joe was very gracious and his staff was very welcoming during our visit to Fort Kochi. This was undoubtedly a key highlight of our vacation!

Beautiful shop, wonderful people, particularly owner Mir. Many lovely designs, high quality fabrics and excellent fabrication. Mir went out of his way to have a particular dress made in my size when there wasn't one in the shop. Hand-block process explained and demonstrated. Leading-edge designers. Modern thinking.

7. Indian Industries
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
Indian Industries, founded in 1945 is the oldest handicrafts shop in Fort Cochin and Mattancherry. Functioning from a 400 year old Dutch building, this shop has seen it all; from the sleepy one horse town that Fort Cochin once was to the bustling tourist spot that is today. Though the streets and surroundings have witnessed umpteen changes, Indian Industries by and large remains the same. It’s a store where time has not spoilt nor changed things despite the sea of change seen all around. Shopping is never a hassle or a chore here, but on the contrary a pleasure, as one can browse leisurely. Our visitors' book and press write ups bear testimony to the rave reviews we have received through the years from those who have visited us.The shops sells silver, stone, white metal and camel bone jewelery; wooden and brass figures; cloth paper machie, laq and leather hangings; life like rose wood elephants; antique finish goods; bell metal and brass wares; furniture and screen; bags, purses and pouches, wooden toys, souvenirs, trinkets and lots more.

Kerala Museum My visit to Madavan Nayyar Museum Edappally Cochin We always like something far away from us and never see what is near to you. This is what I felt when I visited Madavan Nayyar museum last day with family. I was on a vacation mood and wanted to show something new to my 6 year old child and was not in a mood to drive too long. After all research I decided to take him to the Kerala museum which is just 10km from my home, though I never visited. I always thought its just an art gallery. On visiting the museum I felt guilty about myself for not visiting this place during these years especially when am a cochin based tour operator. I shall pen down what I felt in this serene place. My and my wife with our 6 year old son went to this place where we purchased ticket for Rs. 150 per adult. The person at counter explained us to visit art doll gallery, art gallery and then to the audio visual studio to understand the history of Kerala. We though it would take just half hour to finish the visit and planned to visit an authentic in cochin for lunch, it was 12 noon. On entering the museum we were guided towards doll museum which was one of the main attractions. This doll museum has many dolls show cased with dolls of 2 feet height wearing ethnical dress of most of the states in India as well with main art form of that state. This small museum was enough for us to explain our son that we have 29 states in India and all states follow different culture, art forms and the authentic dress they wear. He was so amazed to see this vast culture and heritage of our nation. It was very easy for us to explain as all these were displayed with proper illustration and the way it was placed really require appreciation. Though he hesitated to come out we then went to the art gallery where original pictures of Raja Ravi Verma and many artists were displayed in proper order which are kept the way it should be. This is a place any artist should visit and is memorable to have good time at this place. The staff were courtesy enough to explain and is very well maintained. The third and last to visit is the gem in this museum, the audio visual of history of Kerala. At this place entire Kerala history was sculptured and a live demonstration was made using recorded audio in English or in Malayalam. From the era of Raja rule to democracy was portrayed in an order any one can understand easily. This half hour show gave lights on the history of Kerala with names of rulers and main legends behind the history of Kerala. Even though we were hungry we spent almost 1 and half hour in this place and is inspired by the way knowledge is arranged in this place. I would recommend all to visit this place atleast once and educate your children on what has been portrayed.

David Hall is a beautiful old Dutch bungalow that has been restored and has taken on a new life as a cultural centre with a gallery for contemporary art, with a focus on providing a platform for young artists. With its café serving authentic thin crust pizzas, delicious bites and beverages; and a space for performing arts, the historic building could be an inspiring, vibrant meeting place for fresh talent and lovers of art.

If you're in Fort Kochi for the Biennale, then David Hall is one place you should not miss. It is one of the exhibit venues for the biennale and a very beautiful one indeed. I visited David Hall for the biennale, but ended up falling in love with their cafe and spending more time that I had planned on staying. They have a beautiful outdoor cafe, with a vertical garden and greenery all around. There is a changing special menu that is displayed on the board and the pizzas here are an absolute must try item.
