The retailer is best known for bespoke handcrafted leather products, fashion accessories, stationery items, and homeware.
Commenting on his brand’s entry into London, Sinha said: “The high volume of tourists and locals who frequent the stylish streets of Seven Dials made it the obvious choice for our first UK and European venture.
“After seeing so much success across our Indian portfolio, embarking upon this new market is a natural next step and has always been a key goal for our business. The unique community of Seven Dials is the perfect location for us to start this adventure.”
