Sacha's Shop

A writer and fashion stylist with ELLE magazine and GQ India, Sacha Mendes returned home from Bombay on a sabbatical in 2009; what followed was a small shop of cushion covers by her mother, two racks of clothes by her friends; Savio Jon and Anuj Sharma, and a few jars of orange-peel cookies made by a friendly neighbour — all in the comfort of her father’s ancestral home. “It was never meant to be a store, just a cabinet of curiosities to amuse us,” says Sacha. Years later the small resort wear shop has turned into a carefully curated space of everything Sacha loves, be it deconstructed trousers made into a dress, leather puppets, paper birds, and cross-stitch towels.
