Apparel & Style
Eddie Bauer
Seattle’s heritage staple Eddie Bauer has officially landed in India via Outdoor Goats, putting an end to the absurd expectation that adults need three separate wardrobes for work, weekends, and travel. Over a century after founder Eddie Bauer nearly froze on a fishing trip and invented the quilted down jacket out of sheer self-preservation, his brand is bringing that same obsessive commitment to everyday comfort.
The debut collection offers clean, effortless essentials engineered with four-way stretch, active cooling, and UPF 50 sun protection. From tailored cargo pants to lightweight travel vests, it is high-performance gear disguised as sharp, understated leisure wear that performs brilliantly without looking like it’s trying too hard.
Raw Mango
Raw Mango has unveiled Bhitti Chitra, its Festive 2026 collection designed by founder Sanjay Garg. Shot against the historic Garh Palace in Bundi, the collection draws visual inspiration from the ancient fresco traditions of Pompeii, Ajanta, and Rajasthan, treating textile as a canvas for historical storytelling.
The range reimagines classical architecture, celestial figures, and ornamental motifs across Varanasi brocades, silk, velvet, wool, and zardozi embroidery. Rendered in a muted palette of aged mineral pigments – including light jade, dusty red, chrome yellow, and midnight blue – the collection offers a sophisticated blend of heritage craftsmanship and modern textile design.
Jack&Jones
European menswear leader JACK&JONES India has launched its Autumn Winter 2026 Denim Campaign starring actor Vedang Raina, positioning high-grade jean craft at the center of the modern male wardrobe. Built around the dual demands of nightlife and travel, the collection reinforces the brand’s core foundation of durable, zero-compromise construction.
The new lineup introduces directional barrel fits, sharp bootcuts, high-impact matching sets, and heavy-duty outerwear, alongside signature Premium Denim and Sheridan shirts. Designed for versatility and long-term wearability, every garment bridges the gap between rugged utility and clean, contemporary tailoring.
Apparel & Loungewear
Innerv by Rare Rabbit
The House of Rare has officially launched Innerv, a dedicated men’s innerwear and sleepwear line by Rare Rabbit developed after two years of research and wear testing. Engineered to elevate standard essentials, the collection combines advanced fabric technology – including nylon lycra, microfiber, and cotton-modal blends – with functional design details like 3D jelly waistbands and non-stitched, no-show socks.
Spanning trunks, briefs, boxers, and pyjamas, the line introduces a sophisticated color palette, such as sage green, teal, and navy, alongside classic textures like woven houndstooth. Designed for stretch, breathability, and seamless daily rotation, Innerv applies high-end garment construction to the most personal layer of a man’s wardrobe.
Design & Luxury Accessories
Panerai
Swiss-Italian watchmaker Panerai has unveiled the Luminor PAM01710, PAM01711, and PAM01714, re-engineering one of its most celebrated 1990s military case designs into a highly versatile 42mm format. Rooted in the historic 1993 references originally launched aboard the Italian navy destroyer Durand de la Penne, these timepieces retain the signature angular case lines, solid lugs, and patented crown-protecting bridge that define the brand’s heritage.
Inside, each reference is driven by the automatic P.980 calibre—tested in six positions for chronometric precision and featuring a three-day power reserve with a stop-seconds function. Engineered as a serious instrument watch, the new 42mm series delivers an extraordinary 50 bar (500 meters) of water resistance, seamlessly bridging historic naval durability with modern, daily wearability.
Beauty & Skincare
Muji
Japanese lifestyle brand MUJI has officially launched its global skincare collection in India, extending its core philosophy of functional minimalism into personal care. Formulated around naturally sourced mountain water from Kamaishi in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, the range relies on proven, essential ingredients including ceramides, amino acids, and botanical extracts to support the skin’s natural barrier.
The launch introduces two targeted product lines: the Sensitive Skincare range, engineered for gentle moisture retention, and the Ageing Care range, formulated to improve firmness and reduce fine lines in mature skin. Staying true to MUJI’s foundational principles – rational design, unadorned packaging, and ingredient integrity – the collection brings straightforward, science-backed skin hydration to the Indian market across all MUJI retail and digital channels.
The Root Labs
he Root Labs has introduced its Barrier-Building Face Moisturiser, formulated specifically to restore skin health ahead of the festive season. Engineered with a potent 3% ceramide complex, niacinamide, and soothing centella, the formula actively strengthens the skin barrier while calming redness and locking in long-lasting moisture.
Designed for daily use, the lightweight, non-comedogenic cream absorbs rapidly without greasy residue, making it ideal for both morning and evening routines. Priced at INR 750, it offers high-concentration, science-backed barrier protection at an accessible price point.
Food & Dining
Baci Baci Osteria
The team behind The Bier Library has officially opened Baci Baci Osteria, a traditional Italian neighborhood restaurant in Koramangala, Bengaluru. Built around high-heat, wood-fired pizzas made from a 24-hour fermented biga dough, the menu highlights premium ingredients including San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte, DOP cheeses, and Prosciutto di Parma DOP.
The culinary offering extends to handmade pastas, in-house schiacciata flatbread sandwiches, crudo, and Italian-inspired cocktails and coffees. Designed with authentic lime-plastered walls, terracotta flooring, and vintage furnishings, the space combines old-world Italian hospitality with a relaxed, shared-plate dining experience.
Arts & Culture
Jashn-e-Qawwali
If you have lived in Delhi long enough, you know that finding an evening that combines genuine feeling, great music, and a room full of people actually paying attention feels like a small miracle. Jashn-E-Qawwali 5.0 returns to Bharat Mandapam on Saturday, 26th September 2026, featuring Kabul Bukhari for an evening of qawwali and poetry that has managed to sell out four times in a row for good reason.
The real draw, however, is that your ticket goes somewhere that matters. Hosted by Wishes and Blessings NGO, every rupee raised supports Mann Ka Tilak, an initiative funding care and dignified housing for the elderly. It turns out the easiest way to feel good about spending a Saturday night out is knowing your presence is quietly keeping someone else safe and cared for.
Lifestyle & Events
Lemonade Sangria
If you have children, you know that finding a Saturday activity that pleases both a toddler throwing a tantrum and a teenager glaring at their phone is an athletic feat. Lemonade Sangria is attempting to solve this weekly parental crisis with the Alpha Beta Carnival Edit, a one-day family event taking place tomorrow, September 26th, at Hotel Royal Orchid, Domlur.
Featuring everything from sensory soft play for toddlers to DIY workshops, young “kidpreneur” stalls, and curated shopping for adults, it is a free-entry compromise designed to get everyone out of the house without anyone losing their mind.
