Our agave
Philomena Cottage is where our Agave story begins. Even before Grace travelled to Mexico.
​
This charming cottage on 14th St Leo's road, Bandra West, is where Grace was from. She grew up here, among shaded gulmohars, palm trees and the quintessential Norfolk Pine (or, Christmas tree) that takes a prominent place in any Bandra Catholic house garden. This is where her dreams took flight, where she burnt the midnight oil to excel in studies, and spent her summers (when not making the annual trip to Goa by steamership, that is!)
Philomena cottage saw many parties, anniversaries and weddings celebrated with the best spirits and good cheer. This was the house where the Gracia dream was dreamed, and brought to life much later by Grace's daughter Suzzann- who has fond memories of Philomena Cottage.
