India has a scintillating new luxury destination that has marked its arrival with much élan. The weekend of 10th April witnessed the grand unveiling of the Chairman’s Collection Store in the heart of Bandra, with the opening of a stunning two-level flagship store that embodies a bold, luxurious experience. Spanning over 11,000 square feet, the space marks a meaningful evolution for the brand, bringing together finest menswear fashion, evolved design, and exceptional craftsmanship for the truly discerning seekers of luxury.

Chairman’s Collection reflects Raymond’s seamless transition from a heritage textile pioneer to a modern luxury menswear destination, now stepping into a more rarefied, couture-led space. One of the most ambitious expressions of luxury menswear retail, this new retail store is a sartorial experience for globally aware Indian consumers. Drawing from Renaissance and Baroque influences, layered with a contemporary European sensibility, the space is rooted in Indian craftsmanship while reflecting a distinctly global identity of the new-age India. 

THE COLLECTION: THREE DISTINCT WORLDS

Modern Opulence - Casual Couture Elevated casualwear, reimagined through the grandeur of Renaissance motifs and the ornate richness of Baroque detailing on printed silk shirts, embroidered denim, and statement separates, offers a refreshing take on couture sensibility in the art of dressing.

Power Dressing - Contemporary Heirlooms

Power Dressing, elevated to an art form. Each suit is crafted in exquisite fabrics from across the world, offering impeccable fit and finished with the artisanal depth that is uniquely and  unmistakably Indian.

Embellished jackets. Indo-Western silhouettes. Velvets, silks, and jewel tones that speak before you do. Every piece in the Chairman’s 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 & Experimentation - Indian Renaissance A deeply artisanal expression combining 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’s Collection extends gracefully beyond apparel, embracing a far more holistic vision of modern luxury. Fine jewellery for men, lab-grown diamond pieces of exceptional provenance, and a curated edit of the world’s most coveted fragrance and watch 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-led model, ensuring a personalised experience from concept to execution. Be it bespoke tailoring or personalised styling, each element is designed to offer exclusivity.

A SPATIAL EXPERIENCE DESIGNED LIKE A JOURNEY

Spanning across two levels, the store unfolds through carefully designed environments:

• A lounge-inspired setting with leather armchairs and bespoke trunks, evoking exclusivity
• Gallery-style displays, where apparel and finest fabrics are presented as collectible pieces
• A refined tailoring zone, celebrating Raymond’s legacy in craftsmanship
• Curated display zones, where collectibles and design products add depth and narrative

Every detail of the space reflects a shift in luxury retail from transactional to experiential, immersive, and deeply personal.

WHERE FASHION MEETS ART & COLLECTIBLES

Woven seamlessly into 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 Chairman’s lifelong devotion to the art of the automobile, both vintage and contemporary. Impossible to overlook, the curated Art Deco-inspired pieces and handpicked artworks that grace the space have each been chosen with extraordinary intentionality, with every element in coherence with the store’s design language.

This layered, considered approach transforms the Chairman’s Collection into something far greater than a fashion destination, unraveling a world unto itself. Every corner, every curation, every carefully chosen object speaks to a man’s taste, his sensibility, and the life he has chosen to lead. The effect is singular and unmistakable - a space that does not merely dress a man, but defines him. Not just a philosophy of style, but a complete philosophy of living.

A NEW CHAPTER FOR RAYMOND

Speaking on the occasion, Satyaki Ghosh, CEO, Raymond Lifestyle Limited, said; "Chairman’s Collection  reflects the pride of creating international-quality luxury, made in India, for the modern Indian man. Raymond being the pioneers in menswear, this is a logical brand evolution towards launching a first of its kind couture experience in India. Consumer centricity is at the core of Raymond and this latest endeavour is an affirmative step in the same direction."

With Chairman's Collection, moves forward not as a heritage brand resting on its century-old legacy, but as India’s homegrown brand paying homage to luxury that understands the new Indian identity, which is making its formidable presence being felt in the world.
