Mumbai's secret scouters of cool bring you the best of what's new and undiscovered. Welcome the monsoon with fresh flowers, aromatic spices, bespoke raincoats and a yoga studio with a sea view
Yogacara: Stretch by the sea
Traditional yoga classes, meditation sessions, massage facilities and a stunning view of the ocean are all found together here, at this quaint cottage in Breach Candy. This new healing center lets you decompress in Thai, Shiatsu and energy flow rubs or learn asanas from experts who teach spiritual courses at Mumbai University. Ommm-my God! Go before June 30 for a free yoga/meditation session. Click for details.
Embellished raincoats: Shop till it drops
Sonya Vajifdar's super raincoats (Rs 4,000 and up) offer more than a silver lining for your cloudy day: they come in pop colors with sequined hoods, polka dots and asymmetrical zippers. We especially love the bright purple trench with satin lining. She supplies to Attic and Bombay Electric, but we take you directly to her Churchgate workshop where the designer, her masterjis and two fat dogs work hard to please the rain gods. Click for details.
Orchid: Khar blossoms
We only just discovered this fancy boutique dedicated exclusively to live orchids; excuse the late bloomers! Lining wooden shelves and hanging gracefully from the ceiling, these exotic jewel-toned plants make for a super romantic gift. Click for details.
Arome: Mistress of spices
Bandra's new mistress of spices Arome flaunts a seductive stock -- cinnamon sticks from Vietnam, poppy seeds from Turkey, mamra almonds from Iran, walnuts from Kashmir. Also available are organic pulses, rare herbs and an in-house range of beauty products including a refreshing tea tree oil facewash. Click for details.
