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.

PNG Jewellers has expanded its retail footprint with the launch of its lightweight jewellery brand, Litestyle by PNG, in Kolhapur by the Mayor of Kolhapur Ruparani Sangramsinha Nigam.

The store showcases minimalistic, modern designs tailored for today’s women who seek style, comfort, and versatility in their jewellery choices. With a focus on lightweight pieces, the brand aims to blend affordability with refined aesthetics, catering to evolving consumer preferences.
The grand inauguration on 22 March 2026 marked the brand’s official entry into the Kolhapur market, offering customers an opportunity to explore its latest collections firsthand.

With a structured expansion plan across Maharashtra beginning March 2026, the “Litestyle” brand is strategically positioned to cater to the rising demand for daily-wear jewellery that combines affordability with trend-forward design. Targeting working women and younger consumers, the brand continues to emphasise versatility, comfort, and modern aesthetics. Through this expansion, Litestyle by PNG aims to deepen its presence in Kolhapur while reinforcing its positioning as a preferred destination for lightweight, contemporary jewellery.
