dishoom loves
December delights with twinkling trees, promises of merry get-togethers and ample feasting. In this edition of Dishoom Loves, we’ve gathered a selection of treasures to make happenings happier during this spellbinding time. For moments of exuberance with loved ones or an idle afternoon to yourself, we have thoughtful gifts, appealing apparel and enthralling exhibitions. This month, we’re shining a light on the glorious happenings and sublime people behind it all – from sensational workshops that spark artistry, to culture-exploring Chai pe Charcha talks, and one-of-a-kind pieces to bring beauty home.
The Asian Man Book, a feast for the eyes showing off the very best of South Asian men’s fashion. Thumb through portrait photography and immerse yourself in the subjects’ worlds with in-depth interviews, all curated by Aaron Christian. Perfect for restful moments amongst the hubbub of the season.
A Story of South Asian Art, a Royal Academy exhibition tracing the avant-garde artists who inspired Indian sculptor Mrinalini Mukherjee. Woven sculptures, impressive paintings and delicate ceramics tell the tale of Indian Modernism. See it all and broaden your artistic horizons. Plus a bonus treat: enjoy every second ticket free when booking here. Exhibition ends 24 February 2026.
Sachi Skin, most-useful skincare that’s consciously concocted with melanin-rich skin in mind. Add colour back into cheeks after late-night libations with friends and family, or take a few mindful minutes in the morning to prepare for busy days. Care for your own skin or stuff into stockings.
SariTights™ from Lajami Lab, instant comfort and practicality for the sari-clad, for the party season and beyond. Enhanced sari-draping is made simpler, sleeker, more supportive. Ethically made, hand-finished tights, a delightful alternative to the traditional sari underskirt.
Desi Art Mag, a publication making art more accessible by showcasing voices from different corners of the South Asian art world. This issue turns its eye towards the spaces in which we view art – from museums and private displays to activist collections and the curators themselves. An artistic haven for art lovers of all levels. Order online for swiftest international shipping or swing by our friends Shreeji Newsagents, 6 Chiltern Street, London for instant gratification.
