Leather goods and accessories brand Nappa Dori has decided to close its inaugural flagship store in Hauz Khas, New Delhi following what the brand describes as a “tough year."

 
“It’s been a tough year for all of us and this has been the most emotional and difficult decisions we have had to take this year,” Nappa Dori announced on its Facebook page.

“We have official[ly] closed our Hauz Khaz village store. It was our first store and the brand was started from here. It’s been one of our favourite locations and our anchor to show us our humble beginnings.”

“We are still here to serve our patrons with our other locations. And will keep serving you all with beautiful products and memories,” wrote Nappa Dori. “Thank you all who have helped us grow and prosper and for all your support over the years.”
 
The brand has a flagship store in London, UK, which is currently closed due to the ongoing nationwide lockdown in the country. Nappa Dori also has six other flagship stores across India including in Mumbai, Gurugram, and a destination store in the Maldives as well as a dedicated e-commerce store. 
 
National Institute of Fashion Technology graduate Gautam Sinha launched Nappa Dori in 2010. The brand’s name means ‘leather and thread’ and Sinha launched the label with the aim of disrupting the accessories market with an offering that mixes traditional Indian leather craft and a global aesthetic.
