I am really happy to present one of my most recent encounters, The White Window, thanks to my friend, Diana. I am lucky to have friends who introduce me to neat stylish stores wherever I go!
The White Window is owned by Twinkle Khanna, who is an interior designer and film actress. She’s also known as the wife of a popular Bollywood actor, Akshay Kumar. The store is in a quaint neighborhood of Bandra, suburbs of Mumbai, India. It looks like an oasis in the hustle and bustle of Bandra near Linking Road and Ambedkar Road.
As you walk in through a big glass door of The White Window, the lovely fragrance of their scented candles welcome you into the cozy space with contemporary furniture and decor. It’s beautiful. The White Window reminded me of Le Souq, one of my favorite stores in Jakarta, Indonesia. I will let the photos tell the story of the store from here and I hope you’ll enjoy seeing all the one of a kind pieces sold at the store.
I was really excited when I was given a permission to take photos of The White Window when I visited. (I usually visit without checking in advance whether I can take photos or not. Often times stores and restaurants allow me to take photos, but there were times I was told that I wasn’t allowed to do so.) I throughly enjoyed photographing the dreamy interior of the store with lots of light that came in from the big glass windows.
I purchased their Morocco candle (in photo above). It was 650 Rupees (About US$11). It smelled absolutely divine.

What a beautiful shop to find in Bandra, I will be sure to pop in there, and mention your blog.
Because of the hustle and bustle of Mumbai, you often don’t see little gems like this when you drive past.
I am loving your blog, thank you.
Thank you so much for your very sweet comment! I hope you’ll enjoy visiting the store, too!
Love love love the shop ! Amazing photos !! Kaho I just love your blog for it’s simplicity and finesse .. Tc
Thank you so much for your encouraging comment!!
Thank you for featuring our store and taking such beautiful pictures. We were wondering if we could use some of the images on our Facebook and Instagram page we would give you a credit byline wherever possible. Do let us know on our email and all the best 🙂
Tina, thank you for taking time to leave me a comment. I enjoyed photographing your beautiful store. I’ll email you soon.
I’d love the store myself! So unique, too!
Mugs and animal printed cushions can be my collections, and I’m sure my house would look different. I’d tell my friend who goes to Mumbai for business trip. Hope she has time to visit the store. Thanks for nice photos, too.
Yes, it’s true that most stores don’t allow photos in Metro Manila, too. I don’t force it, and I don’t write about it. But recently my daughter was invited by some restaurants to eat free and write at her blog. So internet is changing a lot of marketing (those who are open minded) people.
Thanks for your comment! I hope your friend will have the time to visit The White Window! A lot of times, I find that independent shops and restaurants tend to allow photo taking without a permission given by a marketing department in advance. I have seen marketing events like food tasting where bloggers are involved in Jakarta, Indonesia. In the U.S., Australia, Europe and Japan, big celebrity bloggers collaborate with many companies. How cool is it that your daughter was invited to review a restaurant! Congrats to her!
I love those bunny plates and bowls! They are divine and would make such a lovely baby shower present. Kaho, you manage to find such interesting shops wherever you go.
Georgia, you’re very sweet. I am lucky to have great friends who introduce me to stylish shops. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful shop with us. I have been back three times to buy lovely gifts for friends and treated myself to some new blue glasses. I have packed them away as I don’t want my children to break them….
Natasha, thank you for your kind comment!! It makes so happy to hear that you like the shop and bought yourself some blue glasses! They are gorgeous!
