Fabindia Connaught Place

Fabindia’s Connaught Place store is one of the most prominent retail destinations in New Delhi for authentic handcrafted and handloom products sourced directly from Indian artisans and rural cooperatives. Located at B-28, Inner Circle, Connaught Place, the store is part of India’s largest retail chain dedicated to promoting traditional Indian crafts and sustainable livelihoods. Founded in 1960 by John Bissell, Fabindia was established to create market linkages between artisans in rural India and urban consumers. The Connaught Place outlet carries the brand’s comprehensive range: hand-block printed and hand-woven garments for men and women, handcrafted leather jootis and footwear, artisan silver and metal jewellery, organic skincare and wellness products, handloom home furnishings including bedcovers, tablecloths, and cushion covers, ceramic and terracotta tableware, and an extensive organic food range. All products are sourced from village artisans who are equity shareholders in Fabindia’s community-owned supply region companies, ensuring fair wages and economic self-reliance. The Connaught Place store is particularly popular among tourists and Delhi residents seeking authentic, ethically sourced Indian crafts. Fabindia’s model has been widely recognised as a benchmark for ethical artisan retail in India, with the company engaging over 55,000 craft-based producers nationally.
