Nappa Dori, the leather goods and lifestyle brand, has inaugurated its first physical store in Pune, situated within the newly launched ‘Kopa’ shopping center. The store features a range of accessories, footwear, travel goods, and handbags. In anticipation of the store opening, Nappa Dori expressed excitement on Facebook, referring to Pune as the “Oxford of the East.”
The store is positioned within the Kopa shopping center, a 3.25 lakh square foot retail destination located in Pune’s Koregaon Park district. The mall officially opened its doors to shoppers on October 21 and hosts a variety of brands, including Tumi, West Elm, White Crow, Michael Kors, Victoria’s Secret, and Brooks Brothers, among others. Lake Shore, which acquired the asset in 2019, is responsible for the Kopa shopping center, as stated in a recent press release that also announced Nappa Dori’s store launch.
Nappa Dori was founded by Gautam Sinha, a graduate of the National Institute of Fashion and Technology, in New Delhi in 2010. The brand is dedicated to providing functional and timeless leather accessories tailored to modern living, as stated on its website.
Originally focused on leather accessories, Nappa Dori has diversified into a broader range of product categories, including luggage, homeware, footwear, and various lifestyle goods. The brand sells its products through its e-commerce store and exclusive brand outlets located in India, the UK, and Dubai. In July of the current year, the brand also unveiled a store and café in Gurgaon.
