Our Story

1910s

The Beginning

The story of Fazals began in 1910, when the founding family made their way from the vibrant land of Kutch, Gujarat, to the cosmopolitan city of Bangalore. With dreams in their eyes and a deep understanding of textiles in their hearts, they set up shop on Commercial Street — a hub for trade and commerce. In those early days, Fazals traded in a diverse range of fabrics, catering to the sartorial needs of both men and women of the era. Their keen eye for quality and commitment to customer satisfaction quickly earned them a loyal clientele.

1920s – 1930s

Tradition & Simplicity

As the decades rolled on, the 1920s and 1930s saw a preference for simple, traditional attire. India, steeped in its rich cultural heritage, embraced classic Indian fabrics. Fazals became the go-to destination for those seeking elegance and simplicity — from the softest cottons to the most intricate silks.

1940s – 1950s

Blending Old & New

As the nation moved towards independence, traditional and contemporary styles met in the air. Fazals, always in tune with the sentiments of the time, combined traditional weaves with contemporary designs — solidifying our reputation as a brand that could seamlessly blend the old with the new.

1960s

The Color Revolution

The swinging sixties were marked by bold, vibrant fabrics that captured the spirit of a world in transition. Fazals was at the forefront, becoming the first to introduce these trendy fabrics to Bangalore. Inspired by Bollywood and global fashion trends, our shelves carried vibrant textiles that allowed our customers to express themselves with flair and confidence.

1970s

Eclectic & Flamboyant

With the rise of disco and hippie culture, the 1970s were all about eclectic and flamboyant fashion. Our collection captured the essence of the decade — eclectic patterns, vibrant colors, and the free-spirited nature of the times. From disco-inspired outfits to bohemian chic, Fazals had it all.

1980s

Bollywood Glamour

The 1980s were defined by the larger-than-life fashion of the film industry. Bollywood's glamour made its way into everyday wardrobes, and Fazals became the go-to store for those seeking the latest trends. From iconic bell-bottoms to dazzling party wear, we brought the silver screen's magic to Commercial Street.

1990s

Fusion Fashion

The liberalization of India's economy brought a fusion of Western and Indian styles. A new generation was eager to experiment, and Fazals introduced contemporary designs that paired Western cuts with Indian fabrics and motifs — a hallmark that catered to a clientele as diverse as it was discerning.

2000s

The Bridal Era

As the new millennium dawned, the wedding industry took prominence. Fazals expanded into extensive bridal trousseau collections — from opulent lehengas to intricately embroidered sarees, providing everything a bride could dream of and solidifying our status as a leader in bridal fashion.

2010s

Modern Tradition

The 2010s witnessed a revival of ethnic wear with a modern twist. Designer collaborations and exclusive collections combined classic Indian craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics — whether a traditional saree with a modern cut or an Anarkali with a contemporary flair, Fazals ensured the best of both worlds.
