Bengaluru, February 23rd, 2026: Cava marked a defining milestone in its journey with the launch of its first-ever offline store at Orion Mall, Rajajinagar, Bengaluru. The opening drew over 1000 visitors on launch day, underscoring the brand’s growing momentum. However, it was Khushi Kapoor’s presence that elevated the evening into a true cultural moment. Effortless, confident, and distinctly of her generation, she embodied the spirit of the modern Cava girl, reinforcing the brand’s resonance with India’s new wave of fashion-conscious consumers.
Her presence reflected a natural alignment between Cava and a generation that values versatility, comfort, and individuality. Known for her off-duty athleisure-driven style, Khushi represents a shift in how young consumers approach fashion today, prioritizing pieces that move seamlessly across different parts of their lives. Her association with the brand underscored how deeply Cava has embedded itself within this cultural shift.
The launch also marked a significant transition for Cava as it evolved from a digital-first athleisure label into a fully realized physical retail experience. Having built a loyal and engaged community online through its fabric-first and design-led approach, the brand now brings that world into a tangible, immersive environment where customers can engage with the product firsthand.
Designed to translate Cava’s philosophy into physical form, the store invites discovery at every step. The open curved facade creates a natural sense of movement and flow, while prominently positioned trial rooms encourage customers to interact directly with the garments, experiencing their softness, stretch, and performance in real time. Minimal interiors, curved architectural elements, and reflective surfaces further echo the brand’s ethos of adaptability and motion.
At the heart of the store is Cava’s signature ADPT fabric, known for its exceptional softness, stretch, and recovery. Showcasing collections for both men and women, the space reflects the brand’s transitional approach to dressing, with pieces designed to move effortlessly between workouts, travel, and everyday life.
Speaking on the launch, Ria Mittal, Co-Founder Cava said, “Opening our first physical store marks a significant milestone in Cava’s journey from a digital first brand to a more immersive retail experience. Our community has been at the heart of our growth, and this space allows customers to truly experience our fabrics, design, and philosophy firsthand. Bengaluru has always been an important market for us, and it felt like the right place to begin this next phase.”
Shreya Mittal, Co- Founder said, “This store was built to give our community the full Cava experience in its truest state. It brings us closer to people with an opportunity to connect beyond the digital space. The response we saw on launch day – from loyal customers, friends, celebs and influencers made us believe in a promising store performance. We chose Orion mall for our first store since Athleisure is a discovery led purchase rather than intend driven, and a high footfall mall in the centre of the city was the perfect start.”
“At Orion Malls, our primary focus has always been to curate an unparalleled mall experience for our customers. By bringing Cava’s digital-first athleisure label into a tangible physical environment, we are enabling a more immersive retail engagement. We are confident that this launch will resonate strongly with the city’s growing appetite for high-quality, design-led athleisure wear. This partnership reinforces our commitment to introducing pioneering concepts that blend comfort, performance, and style,” said Sunil Munshi, COO Retail, Brigade Group.
“It’s our absolute privilege to work with such young entrepreneurs and welcome Cava to Orion Mall,” added Rajesh Sadhwani, Joint Managing Director, Sadhwani Real Estate Holdings.
Khushi Kapoor’s presence, combined with the overwhelming turnout from Bengaluru’s fashion-forward community, signalled the beginning of a powerful new chapter for Cava. More than just a retail launch, the store represents the brand’s evolution into a fully immersive lifestyle experience, strengthening its connection with its growing audience.
With its Orion Mall debut, Cava takes its first step into offline retail, with multiple store openings planned over the coming year as the brand continues to expand its physical footprint and deepen its relationship with its community.
