When two worlds that have no business meeting suddenly collide, the result can be unexpectedly electric. Fashion has always thrived on unlikely and new collaborations, like Louis Vuitton tapping Japanese pop visionary Takashi Murakami to reimagine its monogram in bright, hyper-modern colour or Schiaparelli channelling surrealist master Salvador Dalí to create the Lobster Dress. This season’s collaborations go a step further by pairing brands that speak different languages and still manage to create something new and refreshing. These new collaborations bring together some of our favourites to deliver limited-edition pieces that feel fresh, covetable and conversation-starting.
Kama Cares by Kama Ayurveda X Princess Diya Kumari Foundation (PDKF)
Kama Ayurveda’s latest chapter folds craft, culture and community into one considered drop. The newly expanded purpose platform has partnered with PDKF—led by Princess Gauravi Kumari—to spotlight the women artisans of rural Rajasthan, many of whom have quietly kept endangered techniques alive for generations. The result is a capsule of elephant-inspired keepsakes: the Elephant Warrior Bag Charm, Haathi Clutch and Kama x PDKF Carry Bag. Each piece features intricate appliqué work, hand-stitched elephant motifs and the distinctive, slightly irregular textures that come only from practised hands. With 100% of the proceeds supporting PDKF’s training and livelihood programmes for women and girls, the collaboration merges sustainability with innovation.
Comet X Farak

Two of India’s emerging streetwear labels have come together to drop a pair of limited-edition sneakers exploring the duality of the earth and the sky. Despite working in different mediums—Comet through footwear and Farak through garments—the two share a common instinct for raw texture, storytelling and detailing that gives their pieces a crafted feeling. The Alter Zameen comes in grounded browns and deep earth tones, with layered suede, stitched motifs and contrast threadwork that reference hand-mended textiles. Meanwhile, the Alter Aasmaan takes the concept into cool stormy blues with washed-denim style panels, tonal embroidery and the same star overlay in a softer, sky-leaning palette.
Dove x Reebok

Reebok has long had a knack for unexpected creative pairings, whether it’s teaming up with Gosha Rubchinskiy to reinterpret the Phase One Pro or inviting Shivan & Narresh to give the classic Club C a distinctly Indian, street-leaning update. And this season, they worked with Dove for a 200-pair limited drop that makes rebuilding part of its design philosophy. Taking cues from Kintsugi, the sneaker is crafted in soft off-white leather, its panels traced with fine gold linework that resembles delicately mended seams. The metallic accents add subtle luminosity to the minimal palette that makes them easy enough for everyday wear yet symbolic enough to feel intentional.
House of Masaba X Amrapali Jewels Volume II
Instagram content
What happens when Masaba Gupta’s iconic, motif-driven design universe meets Amrapali’s craftsmanship? You get a capsule of fine jewellery that treats adornment like a joyfully indulgent snack. Their second outing together, a 52-piece edit titled Craveables. Snackables. Stackables. reimagines House of Masaba mascots—the Nandi, the Camera, the Palm and the Candy—in 18K gold with an antique finish, softened by pastel gemstones, carved emeralds and candy-coloured tourmalines. The pieces range from sculptural earrings to stackable bracelets and charms, each one carrying playful names like Aam Panna and Pina Coolada and built around tactile details like carved florals, polished orbs and waterfall strands of tourmaline.
