The platform that was started in 2014 also has a physical store in Santacruz, which Talwar has been eager to visit. "The design of the website is similar to Shein. They also have a section called 'Shop by size' which makes navigation easier," she elaborates.

A nice section on this site is The 99 store - you shop items worth R2,000 and get to add two products from that store for free. "You'll see many influencers wearing the brand. When I started out, and had posted a picture wearing Missa More, I got about 900 likes, which was great reach," reveals Talwar.

Launched in 2012 by Tanvi Malik and Shivani Poddar, the store offers both clothing and accessories. "You can find a formal printed top for R400. They also have a separate section called Indya where you can buy a ready to wear traditional set for R2,000. I also like that it features a lot of Indian models," Talwar says.

The brainchild of former country head of Dior, Kalyani Saha Chawla, this e-portal is one where you'll certainly find a discount every day. "Their options are trendier than Shein. They typically take two to three days to deliver and when I had a problem, I called their customer care and had the order at my doorstep within six hours," she shares.
