Welcome to the Sabyasachi flagship store.

Located in the heart of Mumbai’s art precinct, Kala Ghoda at Fort Mumbai, the elegant facade of the heritage building of Ador House on 6 K Dubash Marg, is now abode to the world of Sabyasachi. Spread over 8,500 square feet and two levels, the store is an overview of Sabyasachi’s vision of Indian luxury.

From imposing historical pieces to modern quirk like the Amul book, cluttered romance of Parsi and Bengali homes, to regimented structure of cantonment bungalows, the store has it all. Mystery, intrigue, nostalgia, and hidden dollops of street humour.
