About
A branch of Bangalore's trendy store, and managed by the Malabar House, this is Kochi's most fashionable outlet. With a cool gallery-like ambience, Cinamon sells modern objets, shoes, and fashions that are entirely homegrown and produced by some of the best designers in India. Find fishing nets made into pillowcases, coconuts fashioned into purses, vintage prints of Hindu deities, silk caftans, and cotton dresses and tunics ideal for the Indian heat. (If you don't like the modern interpretation of Indian skills, head next door to Kala Nilayam Cottage Expo Crafts, which showcases a huge array of traditional arts and crafts from across the country.) Open Monday to Saturday 10am to 7pm.
