Passion Points: Style

Mastering Mumbai Shopping Text Size A A A
Shopping in Mumbai is like winning the lottery. It’s one of the few times in your life you feel that glorious, heart-stopping, reckless feeling that comes with the extraordinary realization that basically everything you want is affordable. But how much should you be paying? Where can you find the best tailor to copy your favorite pair of trousers in six exquisite new colors? And what if you’d like a stunning Indian inspired outfit to wear to your son’s wedding? Monica Vaziralli understands that shopping in Mumbai is not just a sideline, it’s a purpose. An interior designer turned personal shopper she knows every stylish nook you need to know about. From the latest boho boutiques, to legendary sari shops and chaotic street markets, she’ll find everything you desire and, dangerously, much much more. Crucially, she’ll also ensure the price is considerably less than you’d pay as a clueless tourist. Spend a day with her and you’ll leave laden with gorgeous pashminas, chic accessories for your home, and a whole new wardrobe. Monica is also one of the most glamorous women you’ll ever meet. She’s an Indian fireball of quick wit and an imposing presence—no hawkers dare approach her. If you’re really lucky, she’ll invite you to her home for a scrumptious home cooked supper.
