A 50,000 sq. ft. experience centre is now open at the iconic address of Indian Handicrafts Emporium, New Delhi.
Launch celebrations took place in New Delhi on 26th November, 2022. Headlining the grand event was renowned actor Madhuri Dixit.
New Delhi (India), December 5: In the midst of Delhi’s design hub lies a decades-old legacy steeped in history. Indian Handicrafts Emporium is one of the most iconic spaces in the capital. Since it was established in 1967, it has been a bastion of Indian arts and crafts.
It is now the destination for celebrating the best of Indian fashion and craftsmanship owing to Pernia’s Pop-Up Studio’s (PPUS) newest flagship store. After the stellar success of PPUS’ first store in Mehrauli – located just opposite Qutub Minar – comes the all-new experience centre at Indian Handicrafts Emporium. Sprawling across a retail space of almost 20,000 sq. ft., it is housed in an architectural setting that gracefully juxtaposes heritage with contemporary flair.
On November 26th, Bollywood actor Madhuri Dixit inaugurated the store.
Abhishek Agarwal, Founder & Director at Purple Style Labs (PSL) shares with astuteness,“Mehrauli is indeed the beating heart of the Indian luxury fashion industry. Four years ago, our first store in Juhu, Mumbai was only 2,000 sq. ft., and the latest one at Indian Handicrafts Emporium has almost 20,000 sq. ft. of retail space. At this new experience centre, over 2,000 designer pieces will be on display from over 100 leading luxury labels of the country. This browsing experience has not been introduced in India before, making it all the more exciting. Since the acquisition of PPUS in 2018, we have been on the lookout for a heritage locale in Delhi that can house a grand store like this one, which is also at par with the best in the world. And now, we are extremely delighted to have that in Indian Handicrafts Emporium, which turned out to be the ideal establishment with a decades-old legacy of highlighting Indian culture and craftsmanship to a global clientele”.
