For those who had missed our introduction to Carol Humtsoe  back in 2016 (when we had just launched our site), meet fashion model Carol from Nagaland – the first Naga model to have been signed by Elite Model Management. We got back in touch with her to know more about her treasure trove of lovely vintage clothing and collectibles – that she sells under her brand ‘Carol’s Shop & Tea Room.’ We were especially intriqued by her ultra cool and rustic setting of the shop – complete with bamboo walls and wooden furnitures.

She started her modeling career from a very young age and worked herself up to where she is right now. I caught up with her over a brief phone call – for this feature on Roots and Leisure. Here is an excerpt: Hi Carol – so tell us when and how did it all start. It started out as something fun when I was just 16, and one thing led to another. I took the first train to Delhi when I was 17 and that is how things kicked off – and Elite Model Management signed me up. I was 18 then. Where are you based right now? I live somewhere in between Delhi and Mumbai alternately. How was …
