Back in 2017, Rahul Mishra, the award-winning Indian designer, crossed paths with Italy’s fashion house Tod’s in Paris. Tod’s invited him to collaborate on a limited-edition collection of bags and shoes, combining their classic designs with Rahul’s signature Indian craftsmanship.

Though research started in 2018, the pandemic delayed progress, but work picked back up in 2023. Now, the Rahul Mishra X Tod’s collection is finally here, having launched at London Fashion Week on September 13 at Tod’s Bond Street Boutique.

Rahul brought together 150 artisans in Delhi to craft the edit, incorporating Indian embroidery techniques like zardosi and aari into Tod’s iconic shapes such as the Gommino, Di Bag and T Timeless accessories.
