"Our experts don't go on purchase, or provide savings. The company never ever caters any person it's consistently autonomous. For our company, stability matters in every shade of service," he claimed, leading to some of the factors that add to the allure of the luxury brand.Rahul Mishra, the 1st Indian designer to exhibit at the Paris Haute Couture Full Week, has a JV along with Dependence Retail which published sales of Rs 29 crore for the eight months ended March.
