The Paper Boat Collective has made its way to the quiet(ish) bylanes of Indiranagar and is as wonderful as their Goa branch. Set in one of the palatial houses Indiranagar is known for and straight out of a Coastal Cottagecore Pinterest board (when we visited at least), you'll find a delightful mix of contemporary and inherently Indian range of products.
From hip, designer brands, consciously curated products that include low/zero waste options, sustainably sourced and designed products, and limited collections from NGOs and non-profits, know that despite the understated luxury, it all caters to various causes - supporting Indian artisans and craft being the heart and soul. Every room holds something different, and they have something for everyone. Simple yet high on aesthetics, find warm, woven winter collections from Peoli, sleek and earthy leather accessories from Tan & Loom, clothing from No Nasties and Moborr, and handmade trinkets and knick-knacks that dot the walls and corner tables. We really mean something for everyone because we found egg shakers for music, organic crayons, jewellery and toys made from fabric scraps, specially curated books, artisan soaps, and plenty of home decor options that feature Indian craft. Some of that includes longpi pottery, woven baskets, clayware, earthy wall hangings and windchimes.. you get the drift.
You could check out their website, but their online collection is limited, and the PBC has a tendency of containing hidden gems that you'll appreciate more when you discover them while browsing through the store.
