Anita Dongre, Tarun Tahiliani, and Sabyasachi — all the names in Bollywood make their presence felt at Aza. You may have spotted some of the designs that you see there before.

Ritu Kumar’s clothes are available in other boutiques and malls, but if you want to see the best of her creations, make sure you head to the designer’s store in Palladium Mall in Lower Parel or Kala Ghoda. Even before you look at the designer clothes, the store’s decor and installations will steal all your attention away. More than anything, their bridal collection left us awestruck.

3. Sabyasachi
Walking into Sabyasachi’s flagship store in Fort feels like entering an elaborate Sanjay Bhansali film set. Vintage hand-painted chandeliers and antique rugs create a royal rustic look that shows how particular the designer is when it comes to detailing. While the clothes are neatly decorated on the sides of the walls, their jewelry collection occupies a prominent space at the center of the room, complete with soft yellow lights on top. Go there to get a taste of royalty.

She is known to weave indigenous fabrics with Western cuts. She draws inspiration from forts and architectural marvels around the world, so you might see some bold, yet familiar prints on sarees there.
