Abraham & Thakore is one of India’s most successful and respected brands for fashion, accessories and home textiles. Each Abraham & Thakore collection continues the exploration of developing a quiet and modern design voice while simultaneously drawing on the rich traditional vocabulary of Indian design and craft. The design sensibility is subtle, yet highly distinctive, with a strong respect for material, form and craft. A&T believes that real luxury lies in high quality, limited edition, handcrafted product. Each season both the fashion and home textile collections are presented to international buyers in prestigious trade salons in Paris (Tranoi, Scenes d’Interieur, Maison & Objet). In India, the collection is presented biannually at the India Fashion Week, New Delhi.
Creative director David Abraham’s first eponymous collection was launched in Bergdorf Goodman in New York. Rakesh Thakore’s forte is the design and development of sophisticated hand woven fabrics for scarves, sarees and clothing, some of which have been included in major textile exhibitions in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and the National Museum of Hokkaido. Kevin Nigli is Director of sales and responsible for developing, and sometimes creating, new markets for the brand, as well as conceptualizing the quirky design of the A&T visual displays that have become a key feature of the retail identity of the brand.
