A Few Of The Summer House Founder Shivangini Parihar's Favourite Things

Heirloom Naga, I love its Indian craftsmanship but with the minimalism I prefer.

LBB Tip: The brand beautifully reimagines naga textiles while retaining its traditional flair. 

Anu Merton; every piece is stunning. Moreover, the storytelling of the brand just draws you in.

Pahadi Local and Kiro Beauty. I rarely use beauty products but have tried these two and love both. The pahadi local oils feel absolutely luxurious. As someone who doesn’t wear makeup 99% of the time, Kiro Beauty has the lightness to ensure my skin doesn’t feel drained.

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I like all his work, but this was the first book written by him that I read when I was in college. It stirred my soul in a way that I still remember.

Classic Ray-Bans because I am an 80s child who grew up wearing them. Also, Coco Leni if I had to opt for a modern shape with a strong personality.

Jo Malone or local rose from old ittar stores. It’s usually gulab ittar.

Swati snacks for its authentic old-fashioned Gujarati snacks that remind me of childhood. Cafe Churchill because of just how consistent and heartwarming the taste there has been over decades. And their portions are so generous! Both places also have a nostalgic connection for me.

Italy, Sicilian islands in particular.

Onitsuka Tiger. I have terribly small feet (size 3.5-4 ). It’s tough to get comfortable shoes that look good, plus, the ones I can wear for daily errands in my size. They are my go-to shoe brand.
