Aape by A Bathing Ape has made its Indian debut with the opening of its first standalone store at Ambience Mall in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi.

The launch, announced on Friday, marks the beginning of the streetwear label’s India journey in partnership with Unit Nine Private Limited. The brand plans to introduce Indian consumers to its retail experience before expanding into other major cities across the country over the next three years.

"India represents an exciting opportunity for Aape, with a young, globally connected audience and a fashion landscape that continues to evolve,” a spokesperson for the brand announced in a press release. “Our first store at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj gives us an opportunity to introduce Aape’s distinctive world of streetwear directly to Indian consumers through our collections, graphics, and the culture that shapes the brand. As we begin our India journey, we look forward to building a strong connection with a new generation of Aape consumers and establishing the foundation for our presence across the country."

The inaugural store will feature Aape’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection, offering men’s and women’s apparel and accessories. The range includes graphic T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, shirts, jackets, bottoms, shorts, caps and bags. Alongside the label’s signature ‘Moon Face’ motifs, the collection includes a limited-edition New Delhi T-shirt featuring an exclusive camouflage design created specifically to mark the brand’s entry into India.
