Chatterjee-Basu emphasises that organic fabric in furnishings are softer and ideal for those who are allergic to synthetic fabrics. “Nowadays, there is more awareness about organic products. We cater to a larger audience in search for options in clothes, toiletries and furnishings,” she shares.
While the products are displayed on the ground floor, the vacant first floor will be used to display furniture by early 2015. A smaller outpost of their store is being planned in Bandra with a focus on accessories.
