Khotachiwadi is one of the most charismatic and charming neighborhoods of Mumbai. Situated in Girgaum, South Mumbai; it is a historical hamlet where some of the oldest cottage houses of Mumbai can be seen. Less than 30 of these houses, designed in typical Indo-Portuguese style, still remain. The small streets of Khotachiwadi have preserved its communal and village-like atmosphere up to these days, in spite of the construction of many buildings of varied architectural taste in the wadi since the 1930s. Who better than James Feirerra, a celebrated fashion designer and 5th generation Khotachiwadi resident, to present his neighborhood? This video was produced by URBZ intern Guillaume Folliot:
