The store boasts of a stylist, who has over 25 years of experience in the field of suits and designing tailored garments. He will personally attend to customers to advise them on fabric, design, fits and style to match their body type, usage, occasion and comfort preference.

Research has shown that most customers seek to be stylish but find themselves puzzled by the plethora of brands that most large format stores offer. This insight has been the basis of merchandise planning architecture at the Grande’. Planet Fashion Grande’ has showcased only selected successful brands covering all relevant clothing options. Mr. Shoaib Farooqi, COO, Planet Fashion, International Business and Trade Sales, said, “In our store, options aren’t galore. We only offer exhaustive merchandise across handpicked brands. That is what differentiates us from other retail formats.”

Planet Fashion Grande’ showcases four segments. The international floor has some of the most sought after brands like Calvin Klein, Nautica, Esprit and EDC, each depicting its retail lifestyle look. To compliment these, there is a section on accessories with international fragrances and sunglasses.

The ceremonial floor is the ultimate destination for those looking for a male wedding trousseau. You have the largest collection of designer sherwanis and wedding accessories. The suit section offers suits for formal as well as evening wear across brands like Louis Philippe, Van Heusen and Allen Solly. For those particular about exclusive tailoring, there is a section dedicated to custom tailoring.

The ladies section is one-of-its-kind that hasn’t been seen in Bengaluru till now. It offers the prêt line of Ritu Kumar. The exclusive printed sarees from Satya Paul takes you into a different orbit of imagination. As is also true of the pure ethnic collection from Seven East or ethnic fusion range of Global Desi. On the formal front you can satiate your desire with AND, a western fusion range, not to miss the large variety from Allen Solly and Van Heusen Women. All this is complemented with footwear and handbags. “Going by the number of ladies that have already walked in and the amount of curiosity they expressed even before the official store launch, I can confidently say that the ladies section is already a super success,” said Mr. Farooqi.

The menswear floor is an exhaustive storehouse of choice with brands like Louis Philippe, Van Heusen, Allen Solly, Levis and a range of footwear from Metro to complete your wardrobe.

Mr. Farooqi said, “The next store of 18,000 sq ft is ready to open in the busy Karol Bag shopping district in Delhi by the end of the year.

Getting good fit clothing is always a problem that majority of men face. The shirts offered by the existing brands are either too tight or too loose. With tightness comes uneasiness and with looseness comes sloppy shoulders, excessive bunching at waistline after tucking, tighter collar, bigger/ wider sleeve widths. We have addressed these problems by developing a proprietary fit for Indian men and are able to provide a better fit, says Anuj, Co-Founder – Peprismine.

With no standardization in terms of sizes- the regular 38 or 40 in brand X would give customers a different fit and the same size 38 or 40 in brand Y would give a different fit or still worse, even same brand with the same size (As purchased previously) sometimes varies, thereby making it extremely difficult for customers to get good fit clothing even with multiple dressing room sessions. To provide utmost convenience to our customers and without further confusing them about the size, we provide a fit based on inputs provided by the customer. Once the order is placed, in most cases the order is delivered in 48-72 hours.

To offer customers best in class service, Peprismine offers its collection from Rs 899/- (Inclusive of all taxes) with free shipping, free returns across India through a reputed courier partner. Currently our courier partner provides us with coverage to reach 8000 pin codes in India. Peprismine also offers Cash on Delivery (COD) option for its customers, who wish to pay after getting the order delivered. In addition, Peprismine also offers its customers a 30 day Hassle Free return/ exchange option.

What sets the range apart are the matchless patterns, tassels and designs. This eclectic ensemble of handbags come in shades of red, pink, grey and brown and also in basic colours of black and white. Carry the sleek, gorgeous clutch to a party or a hip tote on a day out at the beach or team the classy duffle with the formals to make heads turn in the office.

Add the bling to your outfit with smart and  pumped up chic look with Esprit belts. This waist-clinging item definitely takes any outfit, be it an evening dress or a skirt or a pair of denims, up a notch. Take your style statement from nice to nicest,  from fine to fantastic by donning the uniquely designed belts from Esprit. They come with buckles for bows, snaps and the usual leather wrap-around for stretchy elastics. The range offers waist-bands, straps and strings in different shades of brown, white and black.

This summer make a cool fashion statement with Esprit scarves. The rare, feathery texture with intricate and vibrant details of the scarves gives your skin a balmy touch and compliments any look you wish to carry. Create your own fashion statement by wearing them as headbands or give a youthful twist to your tee-denim attire by just casually tying a scarf around your neck. Contrasting trims and vivid intarsia knits add weight and texture to the primary colour palette of white, grey or black. The scarves also come in fresh, vibrant colors like pink, citrus and lemon, which adds fervour when worn with a basic coloured dress.

Make this summer a perfect time to flirt and experiment with your wardrobe with accessories from Esprit.
