It was a pleasure to meet with Oorvi Desai at her bridalwear boutique - Oorvi Desai London - on Field End Road, Eastcote, this afternoon.
Oorvi specialises in bespoke pieces that blend traditional Indian heritage with a contemporary British flair. I was impressed by the intricate and vibrant designs on display and wasn't at all surprised to hear how much work, care and attention goes into the entire process.
I was also interested to hear from Oorvi about some of the charitable initiatives she has been involved with, including causes supporting homeless women and children. This has also extended to international cultural platforms, where the creative industries are used to amplify social impact, compassion and inclusion.
This is a brilliant entrepreneurial story of a local business, and I am proud to represent an area with so many of these examples.
