Inside Sabyasachi’s 26,000-sq-ft Delhi flagship: ‘120 grand chandeliers, 200 antique carpets’

Sabyasachi Mukherjee, the renowned Indian fashion designer, is set to unveil his new Delhi flagship store next week, doubling the size of its original footprint to an impressive 26,000 sq. ft. The store, located at The Citadel in Mehrauli, aims to celebrate Indian luxury and heritage through a carefully curated collection of items, luxurious spaces, and a rich sensory experience.

Spanning across the new space are corridors inspired by the rustic charm of North Calcutta houses, filled with art, artifacts, and memories that transport visitors to a different era. The Hogg Market Corridor, named after Kolkata's iconic Victoria Hogg Market, evokes the spirit of trade, migration, and inheritance that shaped the city's history.

Visitors will find a wide array of items on display, including over 120 grand chandeliers, nearly 200 antique carpets, 300 original paintings by the Sabyasachi Art Foundation, and more than 100 antique textiles, mirrors, and decorative objects.

The store also features an immersive tram car inspired by Calcutta's old tram system, complete with a majestic life-size Bengal tiger sculpture. The tram serves as a reminder of Mukherjee's childhood memories, where he would often travel by tram with his family in Ballygunge. Additionally, a dedicated High Jewellery salon and accessory parlour offer patrons the chance to indulge in opulent indulgences that align with the designer's signature style.

To enhance the overall experience, the store boasts an immersive playlist curated by Mukherjee himself, accompanied by a Bengali tea ritual that pays homage to his beloved cultural traditions. The new Delhi flagship store opens its doors on August 25th, inviting fashion enthusiasts and heritage connoisseurs alike to immerse themselves in the world of Sabyasachi Mukherjee.
