Characters like Perry, the classicist, embody the unyielding connection to Bombay's roots, finding solace in the vintage lanes and corner houses that hold the city's history. Reita, the explorer, symbolizes the transformative impact of Bombay, having traded a rigid itinerary for seven years of exploration, leaving an indelible mark on the soul. Chernie, the star, bridges dreams with reality, illustrating the journey from childhood aspirations to a life larger than life, rooted in the same colony that shaped Chernie's youth. Freddie, the wanderer, gracefully balances the city's bustling lifestyle with moments of quiet reflection, symbolizing the medley of cultures that define Bombay.

Each character's narrative intricately weaves into the fabric of Bombay Dreams, capturing the essence of the old city through meticulously designed pieces. The collection serves as a homage to the city's timeless charm, where memories are etched in rusted graffiti, on walls that were once meeting spots, and in the quiet alleys and cinemas that tell stories of exploration and dreams. With 'Bombay Dreams', Tokiké not only revitalizes forgotten architecture but also invites wearers to embrace the cultural medley that defines the spirit of Bombay.
