Neelam Shah
ETHNIC FLAIR

A fierce Ensemble supporter, Neelam Shah always seems to find something exquisite for herself at the store. Being a frequent customer for several years, since the inception of the boutique, she feels it has always maintained its commitment to quality in fashion and customer experience. A proud owner of several ethereal Tarun chiffons and vintage Sabyasachis, she just can’t seem to get enough of the unique pieces that they offer. “There are times I try to stay away so that I don’t get tempted, but then the Ensemble staff will call to inform me of a new collection that has come in and then I just can’t.”

Tina on Neelam: “Neelam is a luscious beauty. Every woman should aspire to be like her and with a husband who dotes on her and her three gorgeous kids, she gets better with each passing year.”
