Set in the 1960s Anglo-India, Zoya Akhtar's The Archies on Netflix is reviving the beauty trends that reigned in that era. Right from polka dot-printed fabrics, bubble sleeves and bell bottom jeans to chunky headbands, The Archies is celebrating India's first taste of American life with the pretext of the comic book.
And as part of their promotional activities, the team of the live-action musical is bringing all the feels of Archie and his gang to stores near you. Right from coffee cups to backpacks, Archies-themed merchandise has officially taken over.
