Head to Fenny G & Friends (a lifestyle store during the day and a casual bar at night) to get a taste of what creative minds have to offer around the world
Shoppers can now lay their hands on creative, kitschy and interesting products, created by designers from all over the world, under one roof — Fenny G & Friends. Fenny Ganatra whose travels across the world exposed her to innovative products decided to bring them to India.

“The idea was to integrate a design experience within an existing social fabric of the city. What I realised when I was trying to promote design in India was that design can only be promoted by creating a 360-degree experience and not by being isolated in a store,” says Ganatra, who has launched the retail space inside the The Little Door, a café that doubles up as a shopping destination during the day and goes back to its bar avatar at night. “So, people can eat, shop, spend time, all at the same place,” she shares.
