One would be forgiven for thinking they’ve accidentally been transported from the hustle of a busy Bengaluru street to a lush, serene garden, with a sprawling colonial bungalow in the backdrop. This oasis in question is RainTree, a premiere multi-brand store in the city.
Stepping into the meticulously well-kept interiors of the bungalow-turned-store, you’d be faced with the beauty of the lovingly restored interiors, kept true to the original style, and experience shopping like never before.
“This is exactly what I had envisioned for the space,” says Jaya Pravindra, Founder of RainTree. “I didn’t want it to just be a beautiful bungalow filled with brands. I wanted to provide an experience to anyone who walks through the door. This is why there’s something for everyone here.”
RainTree houses several established as well as upand-coming fashion brands, including franchises like Anokhi, Christina, Kaveri and Amrapali. You’ll also find collections from Payal Pratap, Shades of India, Anavila, Small Shop by Jason & Anshu, Purvi Doshi, Tilla, Katan Weaves, Marm, Moksh, Nazar, Karomi, and more, in addition to premiere lifestyle brands such as Mukul Goyal, Oriental Heirlooms, Accents, Deshi, Niana Candles, Label Satish Paudwar, Khoj, and Santushti.
There’s another plus: a quaint café on the adjacent verandah allows shoppers to take a break from browsing and unwind with a steaming mug of aromatic coffee and delectable pastries and light bites. In a chat with HELLO!, Pravindra lets us in on how her one-of-a-kind retail address came into being, the many hats she dons and so much more…
What’s your journey been like so far? Could you share the secret to your success?
