Last year, upon watching a six-hour DVD of the BBC documentary, The Story of India, our creative director realized that his three-year-long suspicion was indeed correct–that India, a subcontinent grandly described as “a land of a one billion people, 400 languages, and 33 million gods” by writer, historian, and documentary narrator Michael Wood, would serve as an unrivaled location for an Anthropologie catalog.

Well, I’m glad that suspicion was finally confirmed.
