Rahul Mishra Launches His Biggest Flagship in Mumbai

Rahul Mishra’s new flagship at Mumbai’s Horniman Circle spans across 7,500 sq. ft., and is more a living museum, where every wall, surface, and corner tells a story of couture, handwork, and imagination. Designed in collaboration with architect Rooshad Shroff, the space transcends conventional retail. The journey begins with a gallery showcasing sketches, muslin swatches, and botanical embroideries, and moves through immersive rooms echoing natural motifs central to Mishra’s collections-botanical gardens, birds, and insects brought to life through wood marquetry, handwoven carpets, inlaid embroidery, etched marble, and bespoke lighting.

The crescendo is a soaring gallery where handcrafted metal birds appear frozen mid-flight, mirrored in marquetry along the walls. Most elements were crafted in-house, reflecting a “slow, meditative process” that prioritises storytelling and handwork over conventional retail. Mishra calls it his largest and most personal store, a living museum that evolves alongside the collections it houses.
