Raymond unveils Chairman’s Collection luxury store in Bandra
New 11,000 sq ft flagship redefines menswear retail with couture experience.
MUMBAI: Raymond has just raised the bar for luxury shopping in India by turning a store into a full-blown sartorial journey. The iconic menswear brand has launched its Chairman’s Collection flagship store in the heart of Bandra, Mumbai. Spanning over 11,000 square feet across two levels, the stunning space opened on the weekend of 10 April and offers a bold, immersive experience that blends fine menswear, evolved design, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Drawing inspiration from Renaissance and Baroque aesthetics with a contemporary European sensibility, the store is rooted in Indian craftsmanship while reflecting a distinctly global identity. It is divided into three distinct worlds:
- Modern Opulence – Casual Couture: Elevated casualwear featuring printed silk shirts, embroidered denim, and statement separates.
- Power Dressing – Contemporary Heirlooms: Exquisite suits in world-class fabrics, embellished jackets, and Indo-Western silhouettes.
- Art, Heritage & Experimentation – Indian Renaissance: Artisanal garments combining Renaissance-inspired prints with traditional techniques like zardozi and hand embroidery.
Beyond apparel, the store offers fine jewellery (including lab-grown diamonds), curated fragrances, and luxury watches, creating a holistic luxury destination. The experience is appointment-led, ensuring personalised service including bespoke tailoring and styling.
Raymond Lifestyle Limited, CEO Satyaki Ghosh said, “Chairman’s Collection reflects the pride of creating international-quality luxury, made in India, for the modern Indian man. This is a logical brand evolution towards launching a first-of-its-kind couture experience in India.”
The store also features gallery-style displays, a refined tailoring zone, and curated collectibles, including Formula 1-inspired models and Art Deco pieces, reflecting the Chairman’s passion for automobiles and fine art.
In a market increasingly hungry for meaningful luxury, Raymond has moved beyond traditional retail to create a space that doesn’t just dress a man, it defines his lifestyle. With the Chairman’s Collection, the brand is proving that true luxury in India is no longer just about what you wear, but how you experience it.
This new flagship is more than a store, it’s a statement that Indian luxury has arrived, and it’s dressed to impress.
