"We are looking forward to addressing our clients in London, and introducing Raw Mango to a new market. We will be presenting our favourite and classic saris, as well as garments from our latest collection Monkey Business," Garg told IANS.

Monkey Business collection projects strongly different silhouettes that are crafted from traditional fabrics like gajji silk, mashru, kadhwa, silver and gold silk brocade styled with quilted cotton, digitally printed silk and wool.
