Tech professional exploring a curated ethnic wear pop-up concept — would love feedback

Hi everyone,
I work as a Senior Associate in tech, and alongside my corporate career, I’ve been exploring the idea of building a small business in the ethnic fashion space.
One concept I’m currently validating is a curated “SuitSet on Wheels” model — essentially bringing well-designed suit sets, dress materials, and ethnic collections directly to working women through society pop-ups, office events, weekend exhibitions, and curated community setups instead of a traditional retail store.
The goal is to create a more convenient and personalized shopping experience for busy professionals who may not always have time for offline shopping.
Before taking this further, I’d genuinely love insights from this community:
Would you shop from a curated mobile/pop-up ethnic wear setup?

What price range/design quality would matter most to you?

Would office or residential society pop-ups be more convenient?

What would make you trust and revisit such a brand?

I’m currently experimenting with the idea in Ahmedabad and trying to approach it thoughtfully before scaling.
Would really appreciate honest feedback from fellow working women and professionals here.

Would a mobile suit material/fashion van work in India?

Thinking about testing a “SuitSet on Wheels” concept in India — need feedback
Hi everyone,
I’m planning a small experiment around a mobile ethnic wear/suit material business.
The idea is to sell women’s suit sets, dress materials, dupattas, and ready-to-stitch collections through a mobile setup (car/van/pop-up stall) instead of opening a permanent shop.
Target would be:
Housing societies

Weekend exhibitions

Kitty party events

Apartment clubhouses

Local community events

Before investing heavily, I want to test:
Which city/area is best to start

Whether society pop-ups actually work

Average pricing customers prefer

How many designs/products are enough initially

Whether people buy more affordable or premium collections

I’m currently considering Ahmedabad/Gandhinagar side.
Would love advice from anyone who has experience in:
Fashion retail

Mobile businesses

Exhibitions/stalls

Society-based selling

Women’s ethnic wear market

What would you do differently if starting today?
