Sacha's Shop

A writer and fashion stylist with ELLE magazine and GQ India, Sacha Mendes returned home from Bombay on a sabbatical in 2009; what followed was a small shop of cushion covers by her mother, two racks of clothes by her friends; SavioJon and Anuj Sharma, and a few jars of orange-peel cookies made by a friendly neighbour -- all in the comfort of her f... ather's ancestral home. "It was never meant to be a store, just a cabinet of curiosities to amuse us." says Sacha. The small resortwear shop in Panjim eventually turned into a carefully curated space of everything Sacha loves; whether deconstructed trousers made into a dress, leather puppets, paper birds, and cross-stitch towels. For her second shop, Sacha collaborated with her husband and chef Karthikeyan S to restore an old house in Assagao and turn it into a restaurant, Tamil Table, and a shop. Theres a common thread that runs between both the shops, but they each have their own personalities. Because were a piece shop thats not collection or trend driven, each shop will have its own distinct pieces.Read More
