Contemporary British Lifestyle Brand

Franchise & Joint Venture Partners - India

Our client is a world-class, contemporary British lifestyle brand with a rich history built on womenswear, menswear and accessories. For over 125 years, this brand has epitomised classic British style and their signature colour palette of black, ivory and navy is incorporated into each collection.

The brand's prestige and popularity throughout the 20th century has lead to the development of a rich and vast archive, which continues to influence the direction of their collections year on year. Its status has enticed some of the world's most celebrated stars; fans have included Cary Grant, Marilyn Munroe and more recently, Kate Moss, Kylie Minogue, Victoria Beckham and Olivia Palermo.

The future for this brand is very exciting with new markets clearly in their sites. India in particular presents a huge opportunity, and RMC has been retained to identify opportunities to launch the brand on the subcontinent.

We are interested in receiving notices of interest from established players in the Indian retail sector who may wish to explore possible collaborative initiatives with our client. We would welcome approaches from multi-brand fashion retailers, those interested in retailing as a mono-brand under franchise, and would be interested in discussing joint-venture opportunities.
