Whether shoppers want to purchase traditional Indian clothing for themselves or family members, or a shop owner wants to buy items in bulk to sell in their store, Vikas Chopra likes to make that his business. He owns Regards Wholesale Indian Clothing Co. in Copiague, a space filled with stylish South Asian fashions that can be purchased by individuals or retailers.
And while Hicksville has become a hub for small stores selling these clothes, Chopra said he hopes his business, opened on Montauk Highway in 2022, will become a local standout and broaden shopping options for these fashions to another area of the Island.
Under one roof, Chopra offers hundreds of looks for adults and children for any of the subcontinent's cultures' many festive holidays and lavish weddings. He said that for shoppers, everything is discounted from the retail price.
“Many customers were traveling from Long Island and Queens to our New Jersey store, so opening a store on Long Island was a response to numerous customer requests, aiming to provide convenience and accessibility to the local market,” Chopra said. “Dressing well in Indian culture is important, and our aim is to offer a wide range of Indian clothing for various celebrations and events characterized by vibrant colors.” The clothing comes from manufacturers in India, he said.
