Located inside the Chanakya Mall in New Delhi, the new Aquazzura India store was designed in collaboration with Dutch artist, Marie-Anne Oudejans, and reflects the luxury shoe brand’s signature aqua hue, taking inspiration from an Italian garden in bloom.
Features of the store include the three arched-shaped windows which give way to an elegant trellis motif, appearing as wall art with colorful branches flowers, oranges, and lemons.
The latest Aquazzura footwear collections are displayed on aqua displays, adorned with green marble touches and golden-bordered shelves. The garden hues are juxtaposed against black and white stripes on the marble floors.
The India store forms part of Aquazzura’s global expansion plans with a total of 10 new openings this year, focusing on Asia and the Middle East, with new units in Bahrain, Kuwait, Riyadh, and soon Jeddah.
“India is one of my favorite happy places, a destination I visit every year to find inspiration, explore new places, enjoy wonderful food, and have fun,” said founder and creative director Edgardo Osorio, who launched the luxury footwear brand in 2012.
“It is a dream come true to open our first boutique in India at The Chanakya in Delhi. Designed by my friend Marie-Anne Oudejans, the boutique reflects our shared vision of an indoor shoe garden. Through our work, we hope to bring joy and elegance to Indian women.”
Part of the Dharampal Satyapal Group (DS Group), DS Luxury Retail acts as a distributor for international brands in the Indian market.
