On a leafy stretch near Kolkata's Southern Avenue, the three-level designer store Bombaim is a hive of activity.

The Art Deco grills and the city's signature khorkhoris, or louvered windows, reflect the store's previous life as a turn-of-the-century residence. Bombaim's owner, Richa Kanoi, made a point of preserving its historic splendor. "The launch was more about celebrating the space than the clothes," she says.
