With two stores (in Bandra and Versova), one can just walk in and walk out with the outfit needed for a high-end cocktail. While the Bandra store has Western outfits, ethnic wear needs are taken care of by the Versova outlet. There’s always their website if you’re more of an online shopper.
What's In For You: They've got premium designer gowns (Valentino, Hugo Boss), chic lehenga sets (Anita Dongre), tuxedos for men, accessories, bags, and handbags.

#LBBTip: They've also got a separate section called ‘Social Media Looks’ lets you take a look right off their social media handle.
Flyrobe
With over 1,000 looks in its kitty, one can rent designer Indian outfits for a time period of four days on Flyrobe. The great thing here is that one need not pay a security deposit for the high-street brand, though a 20 percent deposit on designer pieces is applicable.
