Yes it’s time for another dose of Shop Talk. Pardon me for not blogging these past couple of days. I’ve been busy globe trotting to find our next treasure and look what we found. Necessary Evil – a one of its kind concept store, stocking the latest international designer wear has finally set shop in Bangalore. Name the brand and its there - tees from Alice + Olivia, premium denim wear from 7 for All Mankind and Paige Denim, handbags from Hayden Harnett. How deliciously evil!!!
Set in the upscale neighborhood of Indiranagar, this understated charming store has a minimalist zen like look and feel to it. The store is designed in a way to let the shopper relax, unwind and indulge. The owners, Megan Ryley, a fashion designer from New York and Tarun Sharma, a fashion entrepreneur from Mumbai shared a vision to create a unique design space where they could bring their favorite international casual luxury brands to the city they love and live in. We wanted Necessary Evil to be a place you chance upon and grow to love,” Megan explains. The logic behind the name is just a catch phrase meant to signify indulgence. “Shopping is a necessary evil!” Yes, we more than agree.
The duo claim that each piece in the store has been personally handpicked by them, keeping in mind the eclectic tastes and styles of the Indian clientele. They believe that high quality fashion should be accessible to everyone and that it should be wearable everyday. They also offer an exclusive line of fine jewelry and home furnishings. So if you are feeling “necessary evil”, head out to 1157, 12th A main, Indira Nagar Bangalore.
