It is hard to flip through a magazine without seeing a piece of Kaabia and Sasha Grewal’s artistry. The sisters are jewellery designers who head the brand Outhouse, a name that has become synonymous with style, celebrity and fun. The sisters were in Mumbai recently to launch their new flagship store, the first in the city, and we caught up with them over candy floss pink macarons to learn more about their design aesthetic, decor must-haves and style. Their new store is feminine, playful and super sleek, which is a look a lot of us enjoy. Here, we deconstruct elements of the space to show you how you can bring their bold, unapologetic aesthetic into your own homes.

Outhouse also has presence in Delhi and Bangalore, with each store telling its own story. “The Mumbai store has been a very special project because even though we aren't from the city, we have always felt a very strong connection it. This bond gave rise to the concept of the store, which is our ode to the city of Mumbai” says Kaabia. Spread across 500 square feet, the space pays homage to the culture and history of Mumbai in unique ways. For example, “we used woven wicker for the windows, a material used often in Mumbai to evoke that feeling of a bygone era,” says Sasha.







“We wanted customers to feel like they were walking into a luxurious living room while still providing them with an unforgettable shopping experience. Keeping in mind the dearth of space in Mumbai, I feel like customers will appreciate how we’ve tried to present big ideas on a small scale,” says Kaabia. The store is done up in Outhouse’s signature shades of salmon pink and grey with some brass detailing. “The store design is inspired by the Art Deco history of Mumbai, which can be seen in the brass accents, the shape of the display cabinets, the plush salmon hue and the overall retro vibe,” Sasha adds.





The store features terrazzo flooring, which although very popular in the ‘90s has lost its spot on today's trend lists. The sisters decided to bring it back into the limelight thanks to the practicality and durability of the material, and added their own sense of flair by inserting flecks of salmon pink into the white flooring. The walls and ceiling are mainly bare and minimal, finished in light grey with slight texture. All the furniture is made of distressed white oak coupled with a wicker weave. This idea of combining modern materials with traditional elements is in line with Outhouse’s overall design aesthetic. “Outhouse is synonymous with femininity, so we decided to give the space a sensual vibe by creating a luxurious yet easy ambience with the lighting and music. As you step into the Outhouse boutique, you will get a walk-through of our collections and get to really experience the store,” says Kaabia.
