TOYWATCH Goes Wild!

In the fall of 2005, Milan-based designer and wristwatch aficionado Marco Mavilla designed the first TOYWATCH. A lightweight, over-sized plastic watch, inspired by high design timepieces, TOYWATCH is unexpected, arresting and irreverent.

An anti-luxury statement in a luxury obsessed culture, TOYWATCH has become the "it" wristwatch and the "must-have" item among style influencers and taste-makers. The brand ignited a firestorm in the fashion, design and accessories industries and has been heralded as a sensation by the press.
Now available at the Peepul Showroom, is the Safari Collection by TOYWATCH. Black, white, brown, tan, leopard print, zebra print-- every piece has its own ferocity. Come try them on for yourself!

Lecoanet Hemant


Besides having the best website we've ever seen, Lecoanet Hemant does not disappoint with their SS10 collection.

Their line is "made in India and made for India." Hemant Sagar, who co-designs with Dider Lecoanet, says on India's foray into the global fashion scene: "You can't just do that. After all fashion caters to the bodies. The physique of Indian woman is different. Here you can't have a skirt with flounce from the waist because here waist is already a problem area. The sari can hide your shape but the modern outfits can't. Again, in terms of silhouettes, you can't sell a transparent blouse to an Indian woman, in the same way you can't ask a French woman to wear a navel revealing dress."


Lecoanet Hemant have come up with a solution to this global-Indian conundrum. It's their SS10 Collection. What's your favourite look?




Trèsmode-- Trèschic for men and women like!



Designed in Florence, manufactured around the world, Trèsmode is best known for keeping up with the trends on the runways of London, Paris and Milan. Trèsmode combines state-of-the-art quality with cutting edge design to bring its clientele the hottest shoes possible.



Trèsmode's versatile collection from party to work wear appeals to the urban clientele whose fashion tastes are constantly evolving.



Within a short time, Trèsmode has truly established its name and become a celeb favorite with stars such as Deepika Padukone, Genelia D'souza, Sonam Kapoor, Minisha Lamba, Vivek Oberoi and Prateik Babbar sporting their shoes.


Most recently, Trèsmode served as a "shoe sponsor" at Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai. Here Trèsmode shoes were seen on the ramp accessorizing the most high-profile designs in the industry.


Hidesign: Real Leather Crafted the Forgotten Way


Hidesign has grown into a global brand recognized for its quality, ecological values and personalized service. By keeping its focus on a classic contemporary look, Hidesign caters to the savvy and sophisticated urban professional. The leather collection includes handbags, clutches, briefcases, laptop cases, wallets, belts and garments.



Hidesign sees great value in natural beauty. Their products are all individually handcrafted using the finest leathers, many of which are purely vegetable-tanned using natural seeds and barks in our own tanneries. Their leathers are full grain and have not been corrected with paint and pigment to hide natural defects. The natural and ecological tanning process enhances the intrinsic characteristics and individuality of their leathers and gives their leathers a tremendous strength and durability.



In addition, their solid brass buckles are individually sand cast and hand polished, reflecting old saddlery traditions. The solid brass buckles and fittings enhance the natural look of their product as well the durability of the product. Each bag is therefore, by its nature, a limited edition.


Hidesign has three design teams based in Milan, London and Pondicherry all tirelessly working together to create two new collections a year. In addition to our seasonal collections, they have their classic range, products that in some cases they have made for thirty years with minimal changes and which their customers continue to appreciate.
