Ruia chases dream in US

Manchester born Kajal Ruia made her way to New York leaving her banking job behind in the UK. She chased after her dream to open up a luxe shoe store located on Mercer Street in SoHo.

The new boutique by the 26-year old Ruia is set over 650 square foot and stocks a selection of European brands such as Baldan, Dibrera, Loriblu and Londoner Cleo B. The space has a rococo feel to it and features a television upstairs for shopped-out friends to relax.
