DHOOP
DHOOP is like visiting a stylish friend’s home. It was inspiring and fun. The only difference was that DHOOP was a room full of temptations. You can’t buy your friend’s decor (unless that friend of yours sell stuff out of home), but you can pick up one of DHOOP’s products, take it to its cashier and will own it. It is one of the shops which can go to any big cities in the world and attract customers to buy the products. I can totally see DHOOP in Harajuku or Daikanyama (and many more) areas in Tokyo where many select shops with unique items are seen. It’ll blend in with other shops and I can picture Japanese people go crazy over DHOOP products. I was very happy to learn about DHOOP in Mumbai thanks to my two friends who are my current to-go person for good interior shops.
DHOOP(ドゥープ)は、インテリアのセンスの良いお友達の家にお邪魔した様な感じのお店でした。とても感化されるし、楽しいお店です。お友達のお家と違うのは、誘惑がお店一杯に溢れているという点。お友達が持っている可愛い飾りを買う事はできないけど(そういうのをビジネスにしちゃっているお友達なら別だけれど)、DHOOP(ドゥープ)では、見つけた可愛いものを手に取って、会計に持って行って支払いをすれば、手に入れる事が出来てしまいますよね。DHOOP(ドゥープ)は、世界のどの大都市に行ってもきっとお客さんを引き寄せるんだろうな、と思う様なお店でした。東京だったら、原宿とか代官山とかにありそうで、あったらきっと日本人のお客さんにも人気が出そう、なんて想像してしまいました。最近インテリア関係のお店を知りたい時に頼りにしている友人2人のお陰で、ムンバイにこんな素敵なお店があると知って、とても嬉しかったです。

The ‘melted’ and halved bottles are quite intriguing. Such unique lights and candle holders. I would love to see how people incorporate them into their own living spaces since they are quite unique.

Thanks for noticing the details! I actually didn’t notice them until I looked at my pictures!! They have many unique candle holders. My friend bought a candleholder that you can stick inside a wine bottle. Really neat! I only bought one item this time. Their pearl garland with lights is my purchase and I hang them around a birdcage. You can see it here.
