Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada — India’s leading luxury house, Sabyasachi, announces a special installation of its celebrated accessories collection at Holt Renfrew’s Vancouver flagship, from May 1 to May 31, 2026.
This partnership marks a meeting of two legacies: Holt Renfrew, Canada’s fashion and lifestyle retailer and longstanding arbiter of taste, and Sabyasachi, a global symbol of Indian heritage, craftsmanship, and storytelling.
“Canada’s Indian diaspora has long been a custodian of tradition while shaping a contemporary cultural identity. In bringing Sabyasachi Accessories to Vancouver, I offer a cultural bridge between India and Canada via future heirlooms linking memory and modernity through craft.”
— Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Founder & Creative Director
For nearly 190 years, Holt Renfrew has defined the Canadian luxury experience, introducing discerning clientele to the world’s most exceptional brands. Its patrons are true connoisseurs, uncompromising in quality, attuned to artistry, and deeply appreciative of the rare and the exceptional. It is within this environment of exacting taste that Sabyasachi extends its presence in Canada.
The collection presents a curated selection of the house’s most sought-after accessories, including handcrafted handbags and richly colored leathers curated for the Vancouver market. Meticulously hand-embroidered pieces, rooted in Indian heritage craft, are complemented by the house’s signature silhouettes in supple Italian leather, finished with gold-plated hardware. Each creation is conceived as an object of craft and permanence, designed to be treasured for generations, and embodying the Sabyasachi vision of sustainable, modern luxury.
This launch holds particular resonance for Canada’s vibrant Indian diaspora, whose cultural continuity and appreciation for fine craftsmanship align deeply with the brand’s philosophy. For the first time in Vancouver and Western Canada, clients will experience Sabyasachi’s distinctive language of romantic maximalism and old-world elegance in person, where each piece exists as both accessory and heirloom.
As part of the event, Sabyasachi Mukherjee will make a personal appearance on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, offering guests an opportunity to engage with the designer and his vision firsthand.
