The instruments have been decorated with fine silk- printed with dainty floral artworks and highlighted with metallic golds.

Rohit Bal has created a biker jacket in cotton velvet for Bieber. Keeping in sync with the singer's universal appeal, black will depict the mood board and the entire outfit has been handcrafted and hand embroidered with sequins and crystals from Swarovski.
