Bicester Village launches Celebrating India pop-up

Designer outlet Bicester Village is highlighting modern Indian design from Manish Arora, Beulah and Kashmir Loom in its new Celebrating India pop-up.

Open until May 29, the Celebrating India boutique showcases fashion, photography, jewellery and lifestyle pieces, as part of the designer outlet’s ‘All Things India’ campaign celebrating the creativity and craftsmanship of the country.

Desirée Bollier, chair and chief merchant, Value Retail Management, operator of The Bicester Village Shopping Collection, said in a statement: "We are thrilled to be welcoming a new wave of India's creative talents to Bicester Village to commence the launch of our summer campaign 'All Things India’.

“Collectively the designers showcased at the Celebrating India concept store are leading the charge and affirming India's position on the international design agenda and, what more vibrant a highlight could we wish for than these five magnificent elephant sculptures honouring one of nature's most celebrated icons."

Designers taking part includes Manish Arora, Pippa Small, Beulah, Behno, Huemn, Dhruv Kapoor, Kanika Goyal label, Kashmir Loom, Khosla Jani, SZ Blockprints, Tada and Toy and Tiipoi.

In addition, Bicester Village will also feature six life-size elephants supporting the ongoing work of Elephant Family until June 11. The Asian elephants are carved from lantana camara, a plant that's destroying their natural habitat, and shoppers can donate in-village to the Elephant Family charity, founded by the late Mark Shand.

Bicester Village is located just 46 minutes by train from London Marylebone and is home to more than 160 boutiques from leading British and international fashion and lifestyle brands, offering year-round savings of up to 60 percent on the recommended retail price. The outlet is a member of The Bicester Village Shopping Collection, 11 distinctive destinations across Europe and China, each within reach of many of the world's most important gateway cities: London, Paris, Shanghai, Milan, Dublin, Barcelona, Madrid, Brussels, Antwerp, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Munich, Frankfurt and Suzhou.
