Kumari Fine Jewellery Redefines Luxury Retail with Immersive Brand Experiences in Mumbai
From QR-enabled streetscapes to social media-friendly store interiors, the brand is building more than stores—it’s crafting moments.
In an age where attention spans are fleeting and consumer expectations ever-evolving, Kumari Fine Jewellery is quietly rewriting the rulebook on luxury retail. The brand’s recent store launch in Mumbai’s Bandra wasn’t just a commercial debut—it was a masterclass in immersive brand-building.
Instead of sticking to conventional promotions, Kumari created an interactive public experience that blurred the lines between art installation, fashion fantasy, and marketing. Think oversized candy-pink handbags gliding down Turner Road, floral walls transforming sidewalks, and neon signage that felt more like a music video set than a jewellery storefront.
But at the heart of this strategy wasn’t just aesthetic flair—it was smart consumer engagement. QR codes embedded into the installations guided intrigued passers-by from the street straight into the store (and in many cases, into a purchase). An “Insta Wall” inside the store turned every visitor into a potential brand ambassador, with shareable photo ops baked into the experience.

According to CEO Amit Bandi, the goal was to ensure the brand stood apart in a city saturated with traditional luxury formats. “We’re not in the business of just selling jewellery,” Bandi said. “We’re creating living brand moments—the kind that people remember, post about, and return to.”
This experiential philosophy extends beyond launch day theatrics. The brand’s design language—rooted in youthful maximalism—is reflected in every detail, from floral-wrapped façades to interactive installations that invite discovery and delight.
Managing Director Vikas Kataria elaborates, “Today’s luxury consumer isn’t just buying a product—they’re investing in a narrative, a feeling, a memory. Our job is to deliver that at every touchpoint.”

Kumari’s Bandra opening follows its inaugural flagship at Kala Ghoda and signals the brand’s intent to scale this experience-led approach. Plans are underway for several more stores across Mumbai, each envisioned as a unique chapter in a growing story of luxury, identity, and innovation.
In a landscape where traditional jewellery retail often leans on legacy and lineage, Kumari is charting a different course—one that speaks to the modern Indian woman: bold, expressive, and unafraid to turn heads.

Mahesh Notandass and Vandals Partner with Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna for Noir Botanica
Mahesh Notandass and Vandals served as the official jewellery partners for designer duo Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna’s Noir Botanica presentation, held at Galeries Lafayette Mumbai on August 20.
Jewellery from both houses was worn by Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna, as well as models walking the presentation, complementing the collection’s sculptural silhouettes, metallic surfaces and architectural detailing.




Rather than a conventional runway, the evening was conceived as an immersive fashion experience. Galeries Lafayette Mumbai was transformed into an intimate setting inspired by jazz and the glamour of 1930s evening culture, allowing guests to experience the craftsmanship, textures and construction of the garments up close. Actor Vijay Varma closed the presentation, adding a striking finale to the evening.
The event drew a notable gathering of celebrities and fashion personalities, including Kajol, Babil Khan, Mahima Makwana, Pragya Jaiswal, Gurfateh Pirzada, Sophie Choudhry, Sarah-Jane Dias, Shalini Passi, Zayed Khan and Ruhee Dosani, among others.


Vandana M. Jagwani, Creative Director at Mahesh Notandass and Founder of Vandals, graced the occasion, marking the coming together of the two jewellery houses with Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna for the Noir Botanica presentation.
The collaboration highlights the growing intersection of fine jewellery and contemporary fashion, with Mahesh Notandass and Vandals bringing their distinct jewellery aesthetics to a collection centred on strong silhouettes, craftsmanship, texture and modern evening dressing.
The Noir Botanica capsule will be available following the presentation at Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna stores and Galeries Lafayette Mumbai.
