The Chairman's Collection reflects Raymond's seamless transition from a traditional textile pioneer to a modern luxury menswear destination, now entering a more exclusive, haute couture-led space. One of the most ambitious expressions of luxury menswear retail, this new retail store is a sartorial experience for globally conscious Indian consumers. Drawing on Renaissance and Baroque influences, combined with a contemporary European sensibility, the space is rooted in Indian craftsmanship while reflecting a distinctly global identity of new-age India.
Raymond has presented his flagship Chairman's collection in Bandra, marking his evolution into luxury menswear. The two-level, 11,000-square-foot space offers couture fashion, fine jewelry, fragrances and personalized services. Combining Indian craftsmanship with global design, it offers an immersive appointment-based experience with curated art, collectibles and personalized styling.
THE COLLECTION: THREE DIFFERENT WORLDS
Modern Opulence – Casual Haute Couture
Sophisticated casual wear, reinvented through the grandeur of Renaissance motifs and the ornate richness of baroque detailing in printed silk shirts, embroidered denim and statement separates, offers a refreshing take on couture sensibilities in the art of dressing.
Power Dressing – Contemporary Relics
Power Dressing, elevated to an art form. Each suit is made from exquisite fabrics from around the world, offering impeccable fit and finishing with the depth of craftsmanship that is uniquely and unmistakably Indian.
Embellished jackets. Indo-western silhouettes. Velvets, silks and jewel tones that speak before you. Each piece in the Chairman Collection reflects power dressing and is an act of self-expression, conceptualized for moments that demand presence, individuality and the kind of authority that needs no introduction.
Art, heritage and experimentation – Indian Renaissance
A deeply artisanal expression that combines Renaissance-inspired prints with traditional Indian techniques such as zardozi and hand embroidery, creating garments that transcend fashion to become collectible pieces.
BEYOND FASHION: A COMPLETE LUXURY EXPERIENCE
The Chairman Collection elegantly extends beyond clothing and encompasses a much more holistic vision of modern luxury. Fine jewelry for men, lab-grown diamond pieces of exceptional provenance, and a curated edit of the world's most coveted watch and fragrance brands, each chosen with the same discernment that defines every corner of this space.
A natural evolution of Raymond's legacy, this launch marks a thoughtful foray into new luxury categories where style meets substance, and each coveted offering is a reflection of a life lived with intention. The store operates on an appointment-based model, ensuring a personalized experience from concept to execution. Whether bespoke tailoring or a personalized style, each item is designed for exclusivity.
A SPACE EXPERIENCE DESIGNED LIKE A JOURNEY
The store, which extends over two levels, unfolds through carefully designed environments:
- A lounge-inspired atmosphere with leather armchairs and custom-made trunks, which evoke exclusivity.
- Gallery-style displays, where finer garments and fabrics are presented as collectible pieces.
- A zone of refined tailoring that celebrates Raymond's artisanal legacy
- Selected display areas, where collectibles and designer products add depth and narrative.
Every detail of the space reflects a shift in luxury retail from the transactional to the experiential, immersive and deeply personal.
WHERE FASHION MEETS ART AND COLLECTIBLES
Seamlessly woven throughout the store are museum-worthy displays of rare collectibles, from Formula 1-inspired models to precision-crafted masterpieces that are a true reflection of the president's lifelong devotion to automotive art, both antique and contemporary. Impossible to miss, the select Art Deco-inspired pieces and carefully curated works of art that adorn the space have been chosen with extraordinary intentionality, with each element consistent with the store's design language.
This thoughtful, layered approach transforms the Chairman's Collection into something much larger than a fashion destination, unraveling a world unto itself. Every corner, every cure, every carefully chosen object speaks of a man's taste, his sensitivity and the life he has chosen to lead. The effect is singular and unmistakable: a space that not only dresses a man, but defines him. Not just a philosophy of style, but a complete philosophy of life.
A NEW CHAPTER FOR RAYMOND
Speaking on the occasion, Satyaki Ghosh, CEO, Raymond Lifestyle Limitedsaying; “The Chairman Collection reflects the pride in creating international quality luxury, made in India, for the modern Indian man. As Raymond is a pioneer in menswear, this is a logical evolution of the brand towards launching a couture experience, the first of its kind in India. Consumer centricity is at the core of Raymond and this latest endeavor is an affirmative step in the same direction.”
With Chairman's Collection, it moves forward not as a traditional brand built on its centuries-old heritage, but as a homegrown Indian brand that pays homage to the luxury that comprises the new Indian identity, which is making its formidable presence felt in the world.
