Vogue’s guide to the best vintage stores in Mumbai is part of our directory of the very best vintage around the world, curated by editors from all over. Whether you’re traveling and searching for some superb stores to visit on your trip or are curious about your local vintage treasure chests, Vogue’s directory has you covered.
You could say the vintage scene in Mumbai is budding. Secondhand has not always been a fashion priority, but things are changing fast with the introduction of slick designer resale shops. While most of India’s vintage scene is digital, there are a handful of stores worth visiting.
Case in point: the jewelry-focused Beg Borrow Steal Studio—thankfully, there’s a range of prices, so no begging, borrowing, or stealing is required! Speaking of borrowing, one of the city’s most interesting vintage shops has a rental format. Two Extra Lives aims to give all their wares several extra lives by allowing shoppers to rent their jewelry, accessories, and clothing.
Below, a shortlist of the best vintage stores in Mumbai, curated with the help of our editors at Vogue India.
