The Fold

Accessories. Books. Clothes. Coffee. Linen & Music 

Our Story 

Gitane & I have been friends for sometime now. We met when we were both still corporate slaves at Airbnb. Having moved on to the other side (or what I like to call the greener or better side) for the past few years, we thought the time was right to align our energies and create something we can be proud of. That’s the genesis of “Fold”. Given the common interests we have of hosting and creating warm & inviting spaces, we think this was an eventuality waiting to happen. Just as is the case always, life kept getting in the way and our dream project kept getting pushed out. But as they say, better late than never. 

About Fold

Fold is our endeavour to create a well thought out, warm & inviting space. The kind that feels like a big warm embrace. One you do not want to leave and if you do then keep wanting to come back too. Fold is Foldled in a charming attic space in Gitane’s 135 year old portuguese home. We reimagined this vacant attic space. Think, high ceilings, white drapes, cosy corners, fragrant coffee smells, the musty smell of used books & yes space for your furry friends too! As is the case with everything we both do, we will be bringing a little or a lot of ourselves to Fold and fostering a sense of connection & belonging with a whole lot of love. 

What Sets Us Apart 

If where we are Foldled is not reason enough, then the fact that we would be one of the few pet friendly spaces, to boast of a huge collection of used books, handpicked linen from local artisans in Rajasthan; and coffee sourced from around the country; should surely be reasons enough 🙂

What to Expect – Intimate  Music Concerts, Book Readings; Poetry Recitations; Talks & More 

Gitane & I believe very strongly in promoting our rich culture and heritage and you will see that come through in a lot of the events we curate at Fold. A little bit of Goa & Rajasthan jugalbandi never disappointed. Who ever minded Goan & Rajasthani folks artists jamming together for instance. Also, we are big on providing a platform and giving a voice to people from all walks of life. You have a story to tell, then Fold is your safe space to do so. 

Giving Back

Gratitude is the cornerstone to all that we do. Gitane & I are very passionate about supporting the less fortunate and extending a helping hand to those in need. The more one can do the better and believe us, it’s still never enough. We will be tying up with some not for profit organisations and charities which support causes we believe in and donating a portion of Fold’s income towards the same.
