The Bombay Pop-up

AltaRasa's first ever pop-up at The Clearing House, where ELSEWHERE came to life.

The Bombay Pop-up

Travel shapes the way we dress. It often influences what we layer, what we carry, and how we accessorise. During a two-day pop-up at The Clearing House in Bombay, on 22nd and 23rd May 2026, we showcased ELSEWHERE to the world- a curation of designer collections imagined for skylines to shorelines. 

Founder Lopamudra brought the collection to life with three looks, each reflecting a different facet of the Elsewhere narrative.


Day 1- 

Mayuri Jamdani Saree with Zuri Gilet and Birthing Babies & Revolutions Jhumkas

The first look brought together our Mayuri Jamdani Saree with Aseem Kapoor's intricately embroidered Zuri Gilet. A transitional ensemble, styled to reimagine the saree through thoughtful layering. The handwoven Dhakai Jamdani created a foundation; the gilet introduced texture through Resham embroidery, Mother-of-Pearl embellishments, and traditional Kodi work.  Eina Ahluwalia's "Birthing Babies & Revolutions" Jhumkas completed the look.  Handcrafted with vibrant multi-tourmalines, the silhouette was complemented by movement and color. Together, the look reflected how traditional textiles can evolve through contemporary styling.

 

Day 2-

Aster Black Dress with Tassels

The second look shifted towards contemporary, occasion dressing with the Aster Black Dress with White Tassels. Designed by Reemami, the fine flow is crafted using thick crepe. Creating movement with every step, the clean black silhouette was interrupted by trailing white tassels.  Minimal in appearance yet expressive in detail, the dress reflected the ease of dressing for conversations and presentations to evening gatherings. 

The third look continues the journey…

The Grecian Dress

The final look completed the narrative of Elsewhere. Designed by Sonali Dharmawardena, the Grecian Dress is an all-silk piece dyed in red. Flowing freely, the silhouette’s effortless draping and the rich heritage of authentic batik spoke for themselves. The interplay of beige and deep red allowed Lopa's ensemble a relaxed yet refined look.
