Bungalow 8 is is a one-stop destination, incorporating design and fashion, with unique treasures collected from local and distant flea markets. Read all about what inspires Maithili to keep discovering hidden gems the world over.

The rustic, exotic rooms of Bungalow 8 in Mumbai are a fashionable jetsetter’s dream – the eclectic mix of treasures from all over the world are something a traveler imagines but would never believe exists until stepping foot inside. Perusing the intrinsically authentic space is like sneaking a peek at proprietor Maithili Ahluwalia’s own collection of precious one of a kind pieces– this globetrotting style expert digs through spots like Parisian flea markets and Indonesian villages and to find her exotic wares. These finds are then displayed in a 19th century building that is almost too artful to be just a store …

Maithili Ahluwalia has certainly foraged her own distinct presence in Mumbai. Her path began as a student of economics and sociology at the London School of Economics and transgressed to New York where she worked as a management consultant, but it wasn’t long before Maithili found her true passion – in fashion & home design. She created Bungalow Eight, which features brilliant finds handpicked by Maithili.
