Justin Bieber is coming to town, and unlike Santa, he’ll be getting the gifts, instead of us. The Justin Bieber Purpose World Tour is set for May 10, but Bieber will be presented with a host of spectacular gifts by designers on Monday itself, when he arrives in Mumbai.
The singer will receive designer gifts from the likes of Rohit Bal, Varun Bahl, Anamika Khanna, Krishna Mehta, Amit Aggarwal, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Manav Gangwani and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan. Have a look:
Varun Bahl has put together a tabla set with his iconic flora motifs.
Music is the soul of communication which knows no boundaries. The sitar and tabla reflect the core of Indian traditional music, embracing the dynamic culture we hail from.

Ustad Amjad Ali Khan has specially created a travel-friendly sarod.
He’s a role model for the millennial generation and it’s so wonderful to see the love that he has generated. Since it’s his first visit, it’s a welcoming gesture as an Indian artiste.

A biker jacket in cotton velvet from Rohit Bal.
The jacket is an amalgamation of Justin’s personal style, Indian music and my vision of a cross cultural fashion statement. I have tried to inculcate elements from the rich music lineage of our country in the form of beautiful classical string instruments like the Sitar, Sarangi and Veena. These are finely embroidered and handcrafted with over 10,000 crystals from Swarovski on luxurious velvet. Blending in with the instruments are my signature Indian lotus motifs. The concept behind the jacket is to create a versatile look that is suitable for an event or performance with a hint of understated opulence and a sense of Indian tradition.

Amit Aggarwal has made a khadi jacket, with metallic hints.
Anamika Khanna has created a subtle yet stunning piece, inspired by tribal India, for Justin’s mother.
Dhruv Kapoor has personalised a hoodie for Justin.
Krishna Mehta's Indo Western formal shirt is bound to get Justin’s attention.

Manav Gangwani has created special sneakers keeping Justin in mind.
I hope the teen heartthrob enjoys a little touch of India. Most foreign artists love peacock feathers and snake symbols in their outfits when they come to India and hence I created this on the accessories.

Riddhima Kapoor Sahni is gifting a bespoke neckpiece to Justin’s mother.
In the 1880’s, French jewellers called the ruby the gem of gems. Philosophies say red is the colour of the heart. We have drawn inspiration from the ruby’s fiery nature to create a collection that champions passion and success. Bieber is a youth icon who everyone loves but the pillar of strength in his life has been his mother and it’s a tribute to this brilliant woman.

Well, Justin, you don’t need to worry about packing. We’ve got you covered.
