Their prime workmanship & expertise in jewellery-making, along with their efforts towards empowering local craft communities of India are unparalleled and in alignment with the core philosophies of the brand Rahul Mishra.”

Rahul Mishra further spoke about how this collaboration was a great way to introduce modern Indian couture and design to the world. “The superiority of our craftsmanship is no new information. However, the quality of our handmade items have been accessed by luxury brands from all over the world, without acknowledgement. It is important now that homegrown brands take ownership of that craftsmanship and become the vehicle for it to go global.”

He underscored the importance of the growth of luxury in India, and the role that our handmade craft heritage had in it, and how it could be a source to tell the story of India’s craft lineage, a true luxury in our mechanised world.

The ‘Tales of Mystique’ and Rahul Mishra’s ‘We, The People’ share the same ethos of redefining Indian fashion by bringing the confluence of intricate craftsmanship, and contemporary silhouettes. Our Muse is the modern Indian woman and her expansive choices in jewellery, her curiosity in chic vintage, and her innate taste in art.” The collection will be available in all Tanishq stores across the country.
