THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL is the sequel to the 2012
hit British comedy-drama film, directed by John Madden. The sequel
brings back the original ensemble cast, including Judi Dench,
Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Dev Patel, Celia Imrie, Penelope Wilton,
Ronald Pickup along with newcomers David Strathairn and Richard
Gere.
World Market® buyers traveled to India's artisan communities and
curated a colorful set of one-of-a-kind items that represent the
country's dynamic marketplaces, beautiful architecture, and
prismatic wedding ceremonies, as seen in THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC
MARIGOLD HOTEL. As with all CRAFT BY WORLD MARKET collections, the
nine items are available for a limited time and the minimum number
of orders must be met before each item is created.
From the Indian state of Rajasthan, which translates to “Land of
Great Kings,” the CRAFT BY WORLD MARKET collection includes a
handcrafted Mango Wood Bench; an embellished Mango Wood Side Table;
and a foliage motif decorative Nila Bone Inlay Tray.
In addition, the collection includes a Marble Lotus Bowl, which
is considered by many to be a symbol of purification and rebirth,
hand carved from the same white Makrana quarry marble as the
majestic Taj Mahal. Prices range from $44.99 for earrings from
Bengali artisans to $799.99 for the bench, and full product
information about each item in this month’s CRAFT BY WORLD MARKET
collection can be found at www.worldmarket.com/craft.
To celebrate the launch of the new collection, World Market also
launched its “Best Exotic Marigold Sweepstakes” for a chance to win
a trip for two to India, free movies for two for a year and a $1000
World Market gift card.* Customers can enter at

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is now full up with its long-term
residents, and co-managers Muriel Donnelly (Maggie Smith) and Sonny
Kapoor (Dev Patel) have a dream of expansion: THE SECOND BEST
EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL. And they’ve found just the place.
Meanwhile Evelyn and Douglas (Judi Dench and Bill Nighy) have
ventured out into the Jaipur workforce, and are wondering where
their regular breakfast dates will lead … Norman and Carol (Ronald
Pickup and Diana Hardcastle) are navigating the swirling waters of
an exclusive relationship, Madge (Celia Imrie) juggles two very
eligible suitors, and recent arrival Guy Chambers (Richard Gere)
fastens upon a muse as inspiration for his novel – Sonny’s mother,
Mrs Kapoor (Lillete Dubey). With marriage to Sunaina (Tina Desai),
the love of his life, quickly approaching, Sonny finds his plans
for the new hotel making more claims on his time than he has
available. Perhaps the only one who may know the answers is Muriel,
the keeper of everyone’s secrets. As the big day nears, family and
guests alike find themselves swept up in the irresistible
intoxication of an Indian wedding.
