NO BORDERS

The Khotachiwadi street sign lies across its most glorious landmark, a pastel hued 19th century ancestral bungalow. Since the beginning of the year, the villa’s top floor has been occupied by a concept store bringing art and fashion to a neighbourhood best known to outsiders for its quaint architecture and chips shop. NO BORDERS, founded by fashion stylist Kanika Karvinkop is unlike other multi designer stores in the country. Kanika uses her sourcing, styling and curating expertise to bring to Bombay, high end luxury vintage, art and accessories from artists and designers in the diaspora, and clothing from independent Indian labels like Nor Black NorWhite and Rimzim Dadu. A 70s Prada peeks out from behind an intricately embroidered Pero, copies of Kajal magazine and In Shady Company hats cover the piano, art by Ayqa Khan and Manuja Waldia live on its shelves. Take a tour with us.
