This is the brand’s seventh store, with more to come.
Success is synonymous with growth and vice-versa. In the near-20 years of renowned luxury fashion house Falguni Shane Peacock’s glorious existence, the two words ‘success’ and ‘growth’ (not in that particular order) have played the role of a catalyst in making the fashion house a name that’s remembered by Hollywood icons such as Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton and the likes of Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif and many others closer home. While the fame game was getting stronger with every passing milestone moment for the brand, the designer duo decided to strengthen the physical footprint in their home country as well before doing so globally.
The designers have marked a significant milestone with the inauguration of their flagship store in the culturally vibrant city of Kolkata. This achievement, upgrades their retail network to seven stores across India, including Mumbai, New Delhi, and Hyderabad, highlighting their unwavering commitment to delivering exquisite couture experiences to the eastern part of the country, as well.
Celebrity interior designer and a connoisseur of all-things-luxury Gauri Khan lent her artistic touch to this new destination, ensuring consistency and a seamless integration with the ambiance of their Mumbai and Hyderabad stores. The Kolkata store, spanning 4500 square feet across two levels, has been meticulously crafted to showcase the latest collections catering to brides, grooms, and their close families.
Gauri Khan’s design incorporates signature elements synonymous with every classic Falguni Shane Peacock outlet—from spacious fitting rooms to elegant chandeliers and a welcoming concierge desk dedicated to brides. One can also find the magnanimous cage at the entrance—an element similar to all their couture stores across the country. The exterior, marked by large arches showcasing the brand’s logo, calling patrons into a world where luxury blends with meticulous design. Brass monogrammed tables, custom-designed rugs, and a grand outdoor chandelier further enhance the opulent allure. Some of the elements also reflect the aesthetic essence of Kolkata to pay homage to the City of Joy.
The Kolkata store captures the beauty of Kolkata while being rooted in the Falguni Shane Peacock aesthetic, offering a unique identity and recall value. The spaces have been designed to put customers at ease in the lap of luxury, providing a seamless experience surrounded by exquisite couture,” affirms Gauri Khan.
The store’s interior is the end result of the tasteful vision of noted interior designer Sheena Rawla from The Colonial Design House. Renowned for her association with Calcutta Heritage Collective, Rawla brought the space to life with the cultural richness of Kolkata. Ensuring a perfect amalgam of Falguni Shane Peacock’s aesthetics and Kolkata’s distinctive elements, she crafted an ambiance that resonates with the essence of the city. From subtle nods to heritage to modern design elements, Sheena Rawla’s aesthetic touch transformed the store into an exquisite space.
Tailoring their offerings to suit the diverse functions, occasions and facets of Indian weddings, Falguni Shane Peacock ensures that every detail has been carefully curated within this two-level, 4500-square-foot space. The result is not merely a retail outlet: it is an immersive experience that effortlessly merges sensorial luxury with high fashion. “We are thrilled to unveil our Kolkata flagship store, meticulously designed by the exceptionally talented interior designer Gauri Khan.
