Galo

I visited this place awhile back last year, took some pictures and forgotten to post it. So here it is.
A relatively new place call Gallo, one of the many mushrooming little boutiques that flood Bangsar. On the top floor on the row of shop lots where Starbucks sits, I absolutely was enchanted by the clean, white interiors - white walls, white furnitures, white fitting- accented with chic Parisian look.

This place oozes old charm with a modern twist, boosted with a happy trippy warmness. Their furnitures are mostly vintage, with some imported and refurbished from the owner, Victor's, home. I fell in love with the art - the gorgeous, strong dark black against white whimsical murals that covered most if not the walls in Gallo.
Being a big fan of contrasts my first question to Victor was who the artist behind the painted walls were (which I couldn't remember now), while R potted away happily looking at the displayed treasures. A mix of vintage and one off designs done by their internal designers, the clothes reflect elegance, in a cheekiest way possible. Think elegant cocktail dresses in the chic (and cheeky) of colours, sequins and tafetta.


They carry a few cult designer jeans for the gentlemen and lucky bfs/husbands as well. Accesories and blings are displayed meticulously on white custom made shelves, racks and chandeliers.
Sneaked a peak into their catalogs - very impressively made for a small sized boutique.


Absolutely adore the art direction for the whole shoot.
