"Living the vibrant life of Jungi Lane, Shahpur Jat – where history meets creativity. 🎨🌿 Surrounded by quirky lanes, colorful markets, and the buzz of Delhi's artistic spirit. 🌟 Exploring culture, art, and community one step at a time. One of them, Cafe Red, offers an ideal space for a cup of coffee, or a quick bite of stuffed omelettes and sandwiches. The other cafe in the lane is insi
de Les Parisiennes, a French boutique for apparel and home decor. Run by Catherine and Lucy, two French women who have made Delhi their home, the restaurant space merges perfectly with the showroom, giving it a feel of someone's living room. The duo designs its own clothes and home accessories at a small workshop inside the store, with Dipika Rai's help, the store manager. They have been in business for the last two years and going by a steady flow of customers inside the store, it seems that their affordable prices find favour with both Indian and international clients. For Kareena Vinaik, co-founder and stylist at the accessory and apparel store, House of Blondie, it is the sense of community at Shapur Jat that sets it apart. She is excited about the Christmas Carnival, to take place on December 15, which will have all stores participating - be it through gifting ideas, special sales or wine tastings. This initiative is a collaborative effort of all the stores in the village, which she says would never have been possible at Hauz Khas village. Adding to this sense of community is the colourful map of the village, available at Cafe Red which all store and cafe owners created together. Going through the labyrinthine lanes of Shahpur Jat can be quite a task, with the UCO Bank and Dada Jungi House being the only two landmarks.
