Upsykle Cotier: Ring Out the Old
When National Institute of Design (NID) graduates Nitya Amarnath and Juhi Pandey turn old saris into 2,000 rupee totes, they call it upcycling. "Recycling is associated with inferior quality. We take old swatches and turn it into superior satchels," explains Nitya. The design duo will also buy old fabrics and antique tapestries you don’t need. Look out for their Upsykle Cotier label, launching soon at some of the city’s swishest fashion stores.
Call Nitya or Juhi on +91 9819212065 or +91 9820039110

Skin Kitchen:
Face Food!
Made-to-order organic skin treatments that are delicious enough to eat. Bon Appetit! 
Avocados mixed with the first mangoes of the season, strawberries and cream, coffee-tangerine, peaches dashed with honey - wipe that sin of your face! Or not. Skin Kitchen’s natural beauty remedies are delish and super fresh, with each product customised to suit your skin type and whipped up just minutes before you purchase it. Radiance a la refrigerator! And yes, men can bask in the glow too.
Top Chef
Diya Dembla, qualified skin aesthetician from the International Dermal Institute in Boston and magic alchemist at Skin Kitchen, has an organic fix for every part of your body, from your scalp to your sole. “We do relaxing face masks, beauty potions and foot scrubs, but also offer remedies for more serious conditions like acne and psoriasis,” she explains. Diya also guarantees that her products are 100% natural, and mostly contain fresh fruit, veggies, plants and herbs currently in season.
Rosemary’s Baby
At Skin Kitchen, a product is rarely dished out without a consult. Our diagnosis yielded a fresh rosemary cleanser and a strawberry nourishment pack stuffed with anti-oxidants and a shelf life of 45 days. These were subtly scented (read: lacking the cloying chemical aroma of most products) and left our skin feeling softer and brighter.
You can also get a more complex treatment at Diya’s by-appointment studio in Bandra. Just remember to take along your spoon. Bon Appetit!

Writing on
the Wall
Tiles you can doodle on and psychedelic walls: perfect cure for a holi hangover!
 You’re suffering from a Holi hangover, and we’ve got the perfect cure: memo tiles by Asta Couture, which you can prop against the wall and draw, write, scribble on (with temporary markers) until you’re all doodled out. Wipe clean, and start all over again.
Made from ceramic, these are a fun spin on your drab soft/white board, come in a range of colours (blue, orange, white) and sizes, and can be customised to a large degree – juxtapose a bunch of different sizes and shapes together, and you’re guaranteed to get some pave reviews!
