Gifting, as we know it, has changed overtime. These days, our focus lies on what will the receiver appreciate, and what is it that will create a memory. When Provenance opened last year at the Palladium Mall, it married luxury with utility while weaving in a story behind each artefact. Founders Samir Gadhok and Avani Raheja, the couple behind Burgundy Hospitality, floated the venture as they felt that there were a lot of premium global brands with a legacy that could find space in the Indian market. Raheja explains, "We were interested in the history of the world, stories of origin and preserving culture. So everything you find here has been handpicked and has a story to tell."
Their new outpost in Bandra is in contrast with the upmarket, swanky store at Lower Parel, yet retrains its aesthetic allure. Housed inside a quaint Bungalow in the heart of Chimbai village, this one is nostalgic, otherwordly and pleasing with its tall wooden ceiling, old-school windows, hanging planters and clean white walls designed by Zameer Basrai of The Busride Design Studio. Spread across an area of 950 square feet, it houses a coffee shop and has an ample place for you to sit down and enjoy your brew. You can pair your cuppa here with cookies from Dolcemi, Bandra's most loved Italian style confectionery. They also offer cakes by Tier Nom Patisserie, Colaba.
