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.
Part of Tod’s Factory, a space for creative collaborations, this collection combines the luxury of time with meticulous detail.
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.
The Rahul Mishra X Tod’s collection is now available in Tod’s stores in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Rahul’s own boutiques across India.
This year has been busy for Rahul — earlier he partnered with Hoegaarden for a special bottle collection, and Singapore Tourism Board for a Spring Summer 2024 wedding capsule.
