The crescent-shaped art district of Mumbai is where all T designers have made their home.

It's only fitting that Anita Dongre chose to open its largest flagship store in one of Mumbai's oldest neighbourhoods. "This is a very large city and we wanted to respect our consumers' time and come closer to some of them. We had been looking for a space in Kala Ghoda for a long time, and I love how art, fashion, cafés-it all comes together in this compact space," says the eponymous designer and founder over a phone call on the eve of her brand's new launch.
