One Year Later, Shyamal & Bhumika’s Mehrauli Store Feels Like a Living Heirloom
One year since its opening, the designers’ Mehrauli store has evolved into an immersive world of craft, memory, and quiet luxury.

In March 2025, Shyamal & Bhumika opened the doors to their Mehrauli flagship in New Delhi. It is an address that, a year later, feels less like a retail space and more like a living heirloom. Tucked within the leafy enclave of Ambawatta One, moments away from the Qutub Minar, the store was imagined as a world apart, where couture, architecture, and memory exist in quiet harmony.

“Here at Mehrauli, we found a stunning façade surrounded by greenery and history. It is accessible, yet private — something very important for our clients,” the designers share.
Step inside and the rhythm of the city softens. In its place rises what feels like a modern-day haveli, shaped by nostalgia and craftsmanship. Drawing from their childhood in Ahmedabad, Shyamal and Bhumika revisited the visual language of their own ancestral homes while conceptualising the space, translating the warmth and intricacy of two-hundred-year-old havelis into a contemporary couture setting.

“You enter our world the moment you set your eyes on our carved walls,” says Bhumika Shodhan. At the heart of the store stands a dramatic wall made from antique wooden panels sourced from centuries-old homes, grounding the space in history. Fourteen-foot ceilings suspend traditional hinchka chains adorned with brass elephants, parrots, and peacocks, each holding a bridal lehenga like a treasured artefact. Indo-European rosewood mirrors appear to float mid-air, while lime-plastered walls, rustic wooden floors, and vintage chandeliers cast a soft, diffused glow across the interiors.

Over the past year, the Mehrauli store has played host to collections including Falaknuma, Summer Couture & Wedding 2025, and Regal Portraits, each displayed within the space like chapters of a continuing narrative. Rather than a conventional showcase, the store functions as a living gallery — one where garments, architecture, and memory exist in conversation.
A year since its opening, the Mehrauli flagship stands as more than a milestone for the label. It is Delhi’s own haveli of couture, where heritage is not preserved behind glass, but lived in — quietly, intimately, and with timeless ease.
