October, Mumbai-based entrepreneur Kushal Chudiwala and his wife
showcased their range of handbags and accessories at a multi-brand
exhibition in Pune. A group of young women insisted on purchasing the
samples. "Upon going through the different styles and colours in our
lookbook, the women realised that customisation is a good option," says
Chudiwala, who returned from the exhibition with several orders.
This encouraged Chudiwala — who heads Veda Lifestyles, manufacturer and supplier of handbags and accessories to several retail chains — to launch Toteteca. An e-retail website that sells customised bags, Toteteca allows customers to pick almost every detail, from the colour and monogram to the length of the handle, from a preset selection of options. They are reasonably priced, with the range starting at Rs 900 and going up to Rs 3,400.

The mayor of a storm-wrecked Jersey shore town said Monday that England’s Prince Harry will visit next week before heading to a news conference nearby.
Mantoloking Mayor George Nebel said Monday that Harry, an heir to the British throne, will take a short walk along Barnegat Lane, along the town’s bay front, during a brief visit on May 14. The prince will accompany Gov. Chris Christie to Seaside Heights afterward.
During a council meeting held in Point Pleasant Beach because Mantoloking’s municipal building was wrecked by the storm and attended by The Associated Press, Nebel revealed part of the prince’s itinerary for his visit to the U.S. East Coast.
“Security for this visit is being handled by the U.S. State Department so most of you won’t get anywhere near” the prince, Nebel told residents.
The prince and Christie are scheduled to take “a brief walk” along the roadway, which is in the less-seriously damaged section of the borough.
“He wanted to see the hardest-hit town in New Jersey,” Nebel said. “He’ll arrive by car, walk along the road to see 10 houses, back in the car with the governor and gone.”
Mantoloking was the Jersey shore town hit hardest by Superstorm Sandy, which was spawned in late October when Hurricane Sandy merged with two other weather systems. Every one of its 521 homes was damaged or destroyed, and the storm surge split the narrow borough in half, cutting between the Atlantic Ocean and Barnegat Bay a new channel that took a massive emergency construction project to fill in.
