Let's face it. We all need a Lady Whistledown (Bridgerton reference in case you missed it) who would tell us exactly what celebrities, influencers, founders, movers and shakers have in their little black book. So, we became that person, and we're shining the spotlight on Humera Tamboli, Founder of Sensing, a sustainable clothing brand which makes clothing free from toxic chemicals and dyes, and made from PH balanced fabric made from beechwood. Apart from being the main hustler at Sensing, you can spot Humera travelling, reading and gorging on delicious food while documenting her life on the Gram. So, we asked what things she keeps wanting more of and here's what she shared.
A Few Of Humera Tamboli's Favourite Things
Favourite Piece Of Clothing
₹2250
'Sensing’s t-shirts are my absolute go to for all occasions. They are luxuriously soft, feel like butter on skin and have a beautiful drapey fit. It is Sensing's first product we created in 2020 during the pandemic and I still remember the enormous number of prototypes we went back and forth to get them right. They have genuinely helped me live my best and worst days in them. Until today every time I spot someone in a Sensing t-shirt it brings me joy.'
Favourite Stationery Essentials
₹1419
'In my free time I enjoy journalling. ‘One line a day’ is a gratitude journal I founded in New York during my work trips and I like how handy-sized it is with daily reminders and weekly summaries. I picked up this Notebook band — pen case from Itoya, Japan. If you are particular about your pens, then this case is just right. I love how you can carry 4-5 pens while strapping it on to your book. I find it really smart.'
Favourite Cafe In Mumbai
'You will easily find me at the Greenr cafe, especially the one in Bandra. It's a very cosy setting with healthy food that feels like home. Its inspiring how they make a lot of their dips and vegan milk inhouse from scratch.'
Favourite Pair Of Footwear
₹3851
'I enjoy wearing slippers from Malvados. These are comfy and very well-designed for my on-the-go lifestyle.' Humera also mentioned that her favourite accessory is Sensing’s care pouch. She says, 'It is a one of kind everyday utility piece. We recycled PET bottles to create an innovative material that is water and tear resistant. Making it strong yet soft for traveling or carrying important documents.'
Favourite Tea Brand
₹1088
'The Japanese Sencha tea from Ippodo tea is an absolute winner when it comes to authentic Japanese tea that has a lovely neutral taste and is supper refreshing. I am a sucker for coffee + chocolate with a pinch of salt and the Pacari ‘salt and nibs chocolate bar’ is to die for. It’s so well balanced in flavour with well-rounded notes of sweet, salty and bitterness without any heavy after taste.'
Favourite Book
₹499
'It has to be ‘The One thing’ by Garry Keller & Jay Papasan. It has helped me to clean the clutter and focus on things that matter. This book is great for people who want less and more; and seek inspiration to live life authentically with purpose.'
Favourite Skincare Product
₹5900
'I love Tatcha’s ‘The rice wash’. It’s a soft dream cream cleanser that is pH neutral and works for my sensitive skin.'
Favourite Innerwear
₹2699
'Wacoals' Gococi padded t-shirt bra is a life changer. It is super comfortable, has full coverage and works well with most clothes.'
