Founded by stylist and curator Anchal Notani, the store specialises in reworked vintage clothing and accessories that are unique, handpicked pieces sourced globally.

The entrepreneur reflects on the personal experiences that pushed her to shape her niche passion project which is centred more around creating awareness than profit.

With a firm belief that style is inherently personal, the store specialises in one-of-a-kind luxury pieces that come with a story. Their curation includes unique finds across fashion, footwear, jewellery and accessories as well as sculptures, paintings, décor pieces and more.

So this is not your average vintage shop! “From a century-old Native American leather belt sourced from Anna, a collector in Barcelona, to Melisa Minca’s inventive shirt-skirt, and Agustina Ros’s hand-blown glass necklace, each piece in our store is one-of-a-kind.

“The mission is simple: to save,” Two Extra Lives’ founder Anchal Notani told Vogue India. “Our innovative rental model encourages less consumption and disrupts the cycle of overindulgence.”

Designed to stimulate the senses, the store offers a tactile journey through textures, and a visual feast of colours, further enhanced by music and fragrances. Every aspect of the store, from its historic 150-year-old bungalow setting to its meticulously curated interiors by Notani herself, is crafted to soothe both the mind and body.

Far beyond a traditional retail space, Two Extra Lives represents a journey of inquiry into the profound changes in our society, aiming to anticipate and be inspired by these shifts rather than being guided solely by seasonal collections.
