Marigold-Gateway To India

This place is amazing. I love the selection of jewelry, clothing, shoes, and more. The imports are straight from India and the lady who owns the store is so sweet. I spent about 2 hours in that place and came out with so many goodies. The prices for tunics (which I need more of) range from $ 24.00 +. my favorite tunic i bought was $ 38.00 bucks. Shoes i saw were $ 65.00 plus. and they have fancy clothes too. You can be dressed for regular every day attire or weddings. The price point of jewelry is about $ 10.00 + for earrings, ankle bracelets and you even get 12 bangles for $ 10.00. Go here, support here and I plan to get a lot more tunics from here. I love this with leggings. they even wash well too. just need to be ironed on the edges. :)
oh so 4 tunics, ankle braclet and bangels for $ 132.00. not bad at all!

What a wonderful shop. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the clothes are beautiful, the space is airy and light, and the prices are quite reasonable. The owner, Lata, is so friendly and nice to talk to. She is genuinely interested in getting to know you. We had a long enjoyable conversation and she never pressured me to buy anything. Not that I needed any pushing! Such deep, jewel colors and unique patterns. I’ve purchased a few pieces for play time that when paired with conservative items also work well at my job in a corporate law firm. I’ll be making my third visit this week!

Come here if you want to get a taste of India! Every item is beautiful and colorful. You can find amazing clothes, jewelry and gorgeous bedsheets (and more!). I bought several punjabis here before going to India and I got SO many compliments. I also wanted a certain type of nose ring and the shopkeeper told me to come back in a few weeks. Sure enough, when I came back, there were new nose rings for sell. This place is a secret jewel. It’s also a good place to buy gifts. There are cute handbags.

I have been to this store, but I felt it little overpriced. May be because I am originally from India, I could relate the prices. I found a store on ebay from Austin Texas, which has beautiful collection of ethnic wear and accessories in a reasonable price. Don’tremember the name of store, but seller email address was
, check that out Unilocalers!

Love this place. Unique jewelry, cute shirts, and skirts. Shoes are also cute. Plus: ELEPHANTS! Elephants on just about everything. Definitely recommend this place. Customer service is great, too.
A bit pricey, can’t shop here every week but still nice.

I came to Marigold because I needed an outfit for a friend’s wedding. The staff was very helpful in explaing the different options and what was appropriate for the occassion. I settled on a nice sari and they even spent time showing me how to put everything on. Definitely recommend if you are in the market for Indian garb.

Excellent place for Indian garment needs. Came here bc I was attending a half-​indian wedding and needed proper attire. You get all the help, customer service, and value without any sales pitch or pressure to buy whatsoever. They’ll even offer a discount in case of any defects. Thanks Marigold!

Marigold has a beautiful variety of clothing and textiles from India. The store is mostly clothing, but they also carry blankets, saris and vintage fabric umbrellas. I stopped in just to look around and ended up leaving with an amazon sari for $ 25. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Overall a beautiful little local shop.

My husband and I love this store! Where do you go to get unique clothing from India? No place unless you travel to India. (which I have many many times). We love this store! Thank you for serving Austin, Tx!

This is a wonderful shop! It definitely provides a nice escape from busy South Lamar. The décor is really beautiful, you can spend a lot of time just looking around at the pretty colors and nice patterns. It seems like everywhere you turn, there is something else to catch your eye. If you are like me and don’t know a lot about Indian culture, the shop owner is really helpful and down-​to-​earth. I recommend checking it out next time you’re on Lamar or if you’re looking to give a unique gift!

A great friend of mine recently took me to Marigold to see the beautiful things for sale there. Fortunately, I had the added excuse that I needed a shirt to wear to the wedding of some friends of Indian heritage. I found a great embroidered shirt to wear for the wedding. Many of my friends complimented me on how great it looked and how they appreciated that I had worn Indian clothes. The shirt will also be wonderful to wear in hot weather. Guys: There are a lot of great shirts at Marigold that are both cool in hot weather and add a nice elegance to an otherwise plain outfit.

Austin does not have many or any Indian/​Middle Eastern type stores that sell anything other than food and its nice to find a store to buy some jewelary, clothes, deity statues/​pictures, and home furnishings. I always love walking into the store and Lata always greets me and even remembers me everytime I go in. One of the sweetest ladies ever and is willing to go out of her way to help you find what you need. The prices are reasonable and she has great quality of items. Nothing of mine has broke or torn yet. You can find difference sizes and colors in the outfits and the art they have is beautiful.
if I had to put something on there that would be some what of a con, I wish they had more in the store. More differenet types of items and gifts than the basic things that everyday people would recognize or know off the top of the head.
Otherwise I love the place.

There’s a reason this store has 5 stars… Lata is incredibly kind and helpful, even for this wedding planner who decided at the last minute to change her entire outfit just 24 hours prior to her client’s hindu wedding. I just needed something more fabulous and Lata helped me find the perfect outfit!
thank you, thank you, thank you… I will be back to buy more clothes, for sure!

This place is fantastic! I originally only visited to try to score a bottle of SoAP’s Nag Champa hand lotion (they don’t sell at too many places that were near us when we were visiting but I gave this place a try). Turns out, the hand lotion didn’t do so well there and all they had out was soap. Fortunately I asked the kind woman at the front desk and she happened to have one bottle of it behind the counter. Not only that, but I think it might have been saved for some reason but she sold it to me anyway. As an out-​of-​towner that desperately wanted to snag a bottle of this awesomeness in lotion form, it was a great bonus for me that there was actually one in the building.
In addition to my quest being fulfilled, the aforementioned woman was super chill, really friendly, and told me that if there was anything I needed or wanted to let her know and she’d totally order it for me. I’d say this store is almost entirely geared towards women, at least in terms of clothing, but I also didn’t spend any time browsing once I found out that she had the lotion I wanted.
Definitely recommend checking this spot out if you’re on South Lamar!

I love the store and have great respect and love for Lata. I’ve bought a few Indian clothing articles here, as well as some artifacts. Prices are very reasonable, and there’s plenty of parking around the back.
Sometimes I wonder, when I stop by there, why it’s not filled with more of our Austin beauties, buying lovely clothes for themselves and friends.
(And please believe me when I tell you what you already know: Austin TX has some of the world’s most beautiful, healthy and intelligent women running around).

This is a very cute shop with a great variety of traditional Indian clothing and accessories.
A few months ago I went to a party with an Indian theme, and I needed to get a nice sari to wear. I had a specific color in mind– I wanted a turquoise one with a pallu that had silvery or white-​gold threads, as opposed to yellow gold– and I found exactly what I was looking for here!
The owner helped me dig through the piles of saris to find the ones I wanted to try on, and then she showed me exactly how to put it on. Incidentally, while doing so, she finally clarified a life-​long mystery for me… I had always wondered how they stay in place, and it turns out that Indian women wear a skirt/​petticoat under the sari, and they also tuck the sari into the skirt in «pleats» to make it easier to walk around.
As an enormous Caucasian lady, I don’t have a lot of occasions to wear traditional Indian saris, but if it ever comes to pass I need another one, or need to give a gift with a global flavor, I will definitely stop by here again. It’s a very nice shopping experience, and I might even learn something new (again)!

What a hidden gem I have found in Austin. Two friends of mine also went to this place and was able to get their fantastic outfit within the budget. They have beautiful vintage silk Indian draperies and saris. I love the way the owner is so down to earth and HELPFUL without being pushy. I felt like she really cared about how my sari would turn out, gave me a thorough instruction on how to put it on.etc.
I ended up purchasing one of the very best sari that they had and I received so many compliments from people that night.

My friend convinced me to stop by Marigold when we were shopping at Hush Hush next door one afternoon. I needed to find gifts for the hostesses of my last baby shower (and I decided that the standard gift card to Target was probably getting pretty old and had never been all that creative to begin with) but my budget was under $ 50 for two women.
The owner was the only other person in the store upon entering, and she had a good balance of letting us explore the store on our own and offering up helpful information about the items offered in the store. She has an absolutely gorgeous assortment of saris from India, and she is happy to show you how to wrap them different ways, even if you buy it from her and then just bring it back in later for a lesson.
Sadly, however, the saris were out of my price range for *both* gifts, but some vintage silk scarves caught my eye, and I was able to get two for under my budget. Both of the recipients absolutely LOVED their gifts. I will definitely go back (after I don’t have a large pregnant stomach) to buy a sari.

I stopped in a few days ago for the first time and was totally thrilled to find beautiful Indian textiles at really reasonable prices. The selection is great, the staff is really friendly, and it’s a nice, open space that makes for very pleasant shopping. Def. going again to shop for Xmas presents (except not for me this time).

Imagine my excitement several months ago when I spotted Marigold, a wonderful new Indian clothing and home décor store on South Lamar (just south of Oltorf on the west side of the street). I LOVE Indian pieces-​the colors, the fabrics, the accessories. I decorate with them and spice up my usual jeans and boots attire. Marigold has so many beautiful things-​and the prices are very affordable which makes it a very dangerous combination for me.
The store is large, easy to shop in and the staff is friendly. Some of my favorite things are the selection of antique silk sari material (I draped mine over the top of my bed-​love it), the long, colorful fabric «lamps» –some are hanging outside when you drive past the store-​and the delicate embroidered blouses. Because I live nearby, I will stop in occasionally to just see what’s new-​and there’s always something that catches my eye.
The store also hosts yoga and Indian music classes, and there’s plenty of parking in the back.
