The three-day showcase will run from November 13 to 15 at Jio World Garden, featuring Vespa-inspired fashion, accessories and collectible objects.
Vespa is bringing its lifestyle and design concept, The Empty Space, to India for the first time as part of its 80th anniversary celebrations. The three-day showcase will take place from November 13 to 15, 2026, at Jio World Garden in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex, during AJIO LUXE WKEND.
The exhibition will present a curated selection of Vespa-inspired ready-to-wear fashion, accessories and collectible objects, extending the Italian brand’s identity beyond scooters into lifestyle and design. The Mumbai showcase will feature pieces from its Al Vento clothing collection, subsequent fashion drops and the 2026 Vespa Lover collection.
Vespa Takes Its Lifestyle Concept Beyond Scooters
The Empty Space was initially introduced as a concept built around the freedom of movement associated with Vespa since its establishment in 1946. The brand described it as a “non-place”, without fixed boundaries or a defined map.
The concept became a physical destination in September 2025, when Vespa opened its first concept store at Via Broletto 13 in Milan, near the city’s Duomo. The store features curved satin steel and oak interiors inspired by the scooter’s design, with dedicated spaces for scooters, fashion and lifestyle objects.
The Mumbai exhibition will bring selected elements of this concept to Indian customers, offering a look at how Vespa’s design language has influenced products beyond two-wheelers.
Fashion and Collectibles Inspired by Vespa Design
The collection includes clothing from Al Vento, which was launched alongside the Milan concept store, and subsequent releases such as Pilot Dogs, Miscela Nostalgia and In Sella. Objects from the 2026 Vespa Lover collection will also be displayed.
Vespa’s scooter design influences several details across the range. A bean-shaped flap pocket inspired by the curves of its bodywork features on overshirts and denim. The Pilot Dogs series, meanwhile, uses different dog breeds to represent Vespa scooter models.
Selected fashion pieces include a cotton gabardine cargo field jacket in Pontedera Green, a vintage-finish leather bomber with pearl-embroidered Vespa branding and a wool-and-silk cardigan. The range also features a Pilot Dogs printed skirt, a wool-blend mock-neck and a silk twill scarf inspired by Vespa’s historical logo archives.
The collectibles include hand-crafted ceramic dog figures representing models such as the Vespa Sprint, Vespa 946 and Vespa Elettrica. Other items include a vintage-inspired advertising poster, a ceramic plate featuring a scooter illustration and a cotton tote bag.
The Empty Space Journey From 2024 To 2026
Vespa’s fashion and lifestyle journey began in January 2024 with a varsity jacket created for the limited-edition Vespa 946 Dragon. The brand introduced the name The Empty Space in June 2024 alongside its Summer Edit, followed by further collections and retail collaborations.
In October 2024, Vespa presented the Snake Capsule through a takeover of the Rinascente department store in Rome, with subsequent pop-ups in Milan and Paris.
The first full Al Vento clothing collection arrived in September 2025 alongside the opening of the Milan concept store. It was followed by the Miscela Nostalgia drop in October 2025 and the In Sella collection in January 2026.
For its 80th anniversary in April 2026, Vespa introduced a special collection featuring apparel inspired by the milestone. The Vespa Lover collection followed in May 2026, combining space-themed references with clothing and collectible objects.
Mumbai Exhibition Dates and Venue
VESPA THE EMPTY SPACE will be open to visitors at Jio World Garden, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai, on November 13, 14 and 15, 2026. The exhibition will be part of AJIO LUXE WKEND and will operate from 9 AM to 10 PM at the Watches and Jewellery pavilion.
