Manolo’s Birkenstocks
Birkenstocks and their orthopaedic insoles have been getting quite in demand among the luxe set, courtesy a series of high-fashion collabs. This month it’s with footwear designer Manolo Blahnik.

They come with a crystal buckle and black sole. ₹49,756 onwards on birkenstock.in. From March 24.
India jacket update
The man behind the classic bandhgala, Raghavendra Rathore, now presents the sharp Jodhpuri Pachranga Bandhgala jacket. In velvet, silk and cotton, this jacket is a tribute to the Jodhpur Lancers. Equipped with swords and lances, the gallant Rajput soldiers won the battle of Haifa, Ottoman Empire, in 1918, reminds the designer. Inspired by the five heritage colours of Marwar that include orange and yellow, this jacket comes with a choice of buttons and can be teamed with jeans. ₹49,999 onwards.
Math meets diamonds
Aeterna, from the House of Tata’s Zoya diamond boutique, takes inspiration from ancient symbols with a capsule collection of 40 pieces. Find the Flower of Life pattern, with its intersecting circles and solids found as pyramids, cubes and more unpronounceable shapes. Their campaign talks about feminine energy, but we think women will go for the intricate detail in the settings and the lattices and metalwork. The collection includes toggle necklaces, lariats and stackable rings. ₹90,000 onwards. Zoya.in
