Ltd., is touted to be India's first luxury store and online platform (website and app) where one can buy and sell 100% original pre-owned luxury products. The word DuaVivo means 'Second Life'. It is here, where luxe lovers provide and make luxury affordable and available for each other. Selling these idle beauties; shopping luxury for less; flaunting more, without burning a hole in the pocket, is what DuaVivo is all about. Bringing together an exuberant community of luxe lovers, DuaVivo promises absolute confidentiality, authenticates, curates, spa cleans and resells pre-owned luxury accessories of various luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Omega, Rolex, Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Dior and many more. Telling us how the idea struck, the young budding entrepreneur says it all began from an everyday issue at home. "My mother is very fond of shopping and loved stocking her high value products. With changing trends, she would buy more products and the old luury products would not be used. Storage became a problem too," states Kejriwal. This led her to think of a solution which she presumed was a problem in many other households too and that is the birth of DuaVivo. A concept quite popular in the UK and USA already, Kejriwal was curious to see how it would work in the Indian market. But setting it apart, she says it's a shopping experience that saves you money. "DuaVivo is not just any other brand. Who would have thought saving money on a Louis Vuitton bag or a Rolex watch was possible," says the Co-founder who's one of the lucky ones to have found out the direction of her life at such an early stage. While it was only a webstore, to begin with, DuaVivo has launched the first experiential brick and mortar store at VR Bengaluru. So if one wanted to touch and feel the product or is worried about the authenticity of buying expensive merchandise online, the store is the solution. "Our store is DuaVivo's biggest USP. It ensures that the seller and buyer can experience the services; touch and feel of the products that we offer; choose from various brands and categories of products, etc. The store functions on a consignment model which means that the product will be on display for 90 days. The website is similar to a store but it also works on the customer-to-customer model. At DuaVivo the idea of 'Buy, Use and Resell' is the core of our business," says Mehal Kejriwal. At the store you can expect merchandise ranging from sunglasses and shoes to bags and watches. Currently dealing only with accessories, the starting range is quite affordable. Most prices are about 50 per cent less than that of the original value, making it quite a steal. Re-indulge in brands such as Louis Vuitton, Tag Heur, Rado, Prada, Ferragamo, Christian Dior, Gucci, Chloe, Armani, Coach and Tod's among others. While Mehal herself isn't the most brand conscious and does not drool over luxury indulgences, she says her mother has taught her much. "I do see some attractive products but, I still don't see whether I should spend so much money on it, especially at this stage of my life," she explains, and that belief clearly resonates with the brand she's created. "I believe in earning and then indulging. I want to work hard, create something exceptional, then owning these luxury pieces would give me great satisfaction," says the 20-year-old.
