The new outlet will open at Westfield Fountain Gate in Melbourne on September 12, 2026. It will offer Australian shoppers direct access to BIBA’s range of contemporary Indian clothing and occasion wear.
Indian Fashion Gets Wider Reach
The opening represents more than BIBA’s entry into a new country. It also highlights the increasing demand for Indian fashion among consumers in Australia, particularly within the country’s large and growing Indian community.
Until now, many Australian customers largely accessed Indian brands through online platforms or while travelling overseas. BIBA’s physical store will allow shoppers to explore its collections, check fabrics and fits, and purchase products directly in Australia.
The outlet is expected to cater to customers looking for Indian ethnic wear for weddings, festivals, family functions and other special occasions.
New Shopping Destination
The presence of Indian fashion and jewellery retailers at Westfield Fountain Gate could help the shopping centre develop into a destination for Indian occasion wear.
Customers will be able to access multiple elements of the traditional Indian festive and wedding shopping experience at one location, without travelling outside Australia.
