Luxury Brand Kiton Plans Two Stores in India

In order to tap the country’s expensive men’s wear market, Italy-based luxury clothing company Kiton plans to open two exclusive stores in India. Kiton, which entered the Indian garment market last year through a master franchisee deal with Mumbai-based Regalia Luxury Clothing, is also considering incorporating a joint venture with a local partner. “We are looking at a few spaces in Delhi and Mumbai to open at least two stores by the end of this year or 2015,” Dalmia said. The brand has 45 exclusive stores around the world. Kiton makes made-to-measure suits, jackets and shirts for Indian consumers.
