ABOUT PORTSIDECAFE

Opened in 2007, PortsideCafé is a store brimming with original ideas, be it leather-clad beds, bars, sofas, tables or other must-have home and office accessories.

Each piece - handcrafted and hand-finished using an array of innovative staining techniques - is a statement of vibrant colour, exquisite detail and endless charm.

PortsideCafé founder and designer, Bobby Aggarwal says the company strives to blend good craftsmanship with novel design.

“I started experimenting with leather in Mumbai (actually Dharavi), a hard driving , vibrant and pulsating port city, and as anyone young and impressionable living in Colaba and hanging out at all the bars and restaurants, had always dreamt of owning a café. I also had a name for it. PortsideCafé . Though the dream is still alive PortsideCafe is now branded on all my leather furniture and goods instead !”
