Dishoom Loves Issue XXXIX, April

April gathers momentum with budding blossoms and honeyed evenings. Days gift an extra hour of glorious daylight. There’s a quiet confidence to the season now – an invitation to indulge in returning warmth. We settle into the month by delighting in evocative scents of home, commemorating a South Asian trailblazer of deepest importance and stocking our kitchen cupboards with time-honoured jars of ghee.

We’re honouring the legacy of:—

The Last Princesses of Punjab: Sophia Duleep Singh. Kensington Palace’s newest exhibition unveils an intimate look into the life of a suffragette trailblazer, dear to our hearts, alongside five contemporary women who defined her story. Created to commemorate Sophia’s 150th year, old and new South Asian voices tenderly reflect on a royal dynasty at the pinnacle of changemaking. Join them.

Discover Sophia’s enduring impact

We’re revelling in notes of home with:—

Rahasya, an Indian fine-fragrance house born from three friends’ desire to introduce patrons to niche perfumery. Each creation tells a story as deeply familiar notes meet unexpected turns. Spritz wrists and necks with monsoon rains, heat-quenching mangos, riotous rickshaw journeys or the exuberance of an Indian wedding.

Find your heritage scent

We’re adorning ears and fingers with:—

JADU, a joyful experimentation of chunky silvers and singular gemstones. Grounded in Indian and British tradition yet unbound by it, this unique handmade jewellery will transition seamlessly from daily wear to the most glittering affair. Those seeking something even more divine might like to discuss a bespoke creation.

Embrace easy opulence

We’re splendidly clad, thanks to:—

CORD’s vintage-style clothes, pieces that mingle deep histories with exquisite craftsmanship. Apparel tailored for everyday occasions holds cultural legacies and cherished memories in each stitch and seam. CORD’s newest collection arrives with equal amounts of enduring elegance and thrilling vibrancy. A joy for wearers and admirers alike.

Gather new garments

We’re enriching favourites with:—

Ajji’s Ghee, a small-batch maker – rooted in the rhythms and rituals of our grandmothers’ kitchens. Each jar, crafted through the traditional bilona method, is an ode to patience: culturing, churning and simmering freshest cream into silkiest ghee over gentle flames for 36 hours. Welcome this staple into your kitchen and prepare to marvel at new depths of flavour.
