Lace 'em Up

In Hyderabad, lace, also called hem, is big business. Since homemade clothing is still very much the norm, one goes out, buys material and then goes looking for all the trimmings. There's no shortage of options.

You can first try a store. This next generation shop owner is not standing in front of a bunch of fancy Taqiyahs, but neat rolls of hems.

If stores aren't your thing, there are alway street hawkers with literally piles of material to rummage through. Talk about border bling.
