Their designs have dressed Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan and A R Rahman. The aims behind launching a store in Kolkata was because men from the city have a keen sense of design and also because they feel that menswear market is growing rapidly creating opportunities for everyone to grow.

Their latest collection ‘The Mahal’ for prospective brides and grooms, which was showcased at wedding exhibition ‘The Vogue Wedding Show’ is inspired by their recently visit to Sheesh Mahal in Jodhpur. The same collection will also be displayed at the ongoing BMW India Bridal Fashion Week.
