DIR 69
Spontaneous and eclectic. A shop called DIR 69 in Hauz Khas village, Delhi. Tanu Bagai brings together prettiness, vintage flavour, European pastels, glam bling and edgy leather to create a truly unique collection of bags. It's not just the bags; her shop offers a different mood altogether with its battered cabinet, whisky & lace lamp and artificial tree showing off bags on its bare limbs.
Tanu revels in purely heart-gladdening design. Apart from bags, she designs a small collection of clothes as well. "They come to me asking for party clothes. What's PARTY clothes now..?" she asks indignantly as her stuff just doesn't stick to clichéd definitions. The bags start at Rs 1000. The avg price is Rs 3000. Just remember, don’t dress to match the bags!

Hey,
Lovely article Malavika. I was in New Delhi a few days ago and loved the DIR69 store at Hauz Khas, it was so quirky and fun and endearing. Was searching for it online. She has stuff you could just fall in love with. I’ve got a few back with me to Australia and everyone just loves them! Way to go Tanu! >hugs<Sue C.
