( www.theplayclan.com ; Libra Towers, Hill Rd, Bandra West; 11am-8.30pm) Mumbai has a slew of stores
selling fun, kitschy, design-y goods. Play Clan is the priciest, but also has the best stuff,
like tote bags printed with futurist portraits of Vivekananda and pillows embroidered with
sequined autorickshaws.
Kishore Silk House
(Bhandarkar Rd, Matunga East; 10am-8.30pm Tue-Sun) Handwoven saris and dhotis from Tamil
Nadu and Kerala in all the best old-fashioned styles. But the real star here are the finely
woven, surprisingly super-absorbant cotton towels - perfect for travelling.
