India’s Nappa Dori Opening Store in UK

Indian luxury handcrafted-bags and luggage retailer Nappa Dori has launched in London.

The firm’s 1400sqft location in Seven Dials on Monmouth Street is its first in Europe, adding to its seven-store network in India and an outlet in the Maldives. It features an in-store cafe serving traditional beverages such as chai tea.

“The high volume of tourists and locals who frequent the stylish streets of Seven Dials made it the obvious choice for our first UK and European venture,” said Nappa Dori founder Gautam Sinha.

“This opening reflects the increase in brands selecting this unique West End destination for debut UK and European stores,” said Shaftesbury senior retail portfolio manager Addy Williams, “following in the footsteps of leading brands such as Away and Beast.”

Nappa Dori has previously engaged in collaborations with Kiehl’s and Qatar Airways, among other partnering businesses.
