Another global brand hits town

Tommy Hilfiger, the global apparel brand, opens its second store in the country at The Forum Mall today (the first opened in New Delhi two days ago). Tommy Hilfiger has had a sourcing office in Bangalore for some years now. The NRI Murjani family which funded Tommy Hilfiger when he started out and holds the rights for the brand in India has tied up with the Bangalore-based Arvind Fashions to manufacture and market the brand in India. Arvind has set up an exclusive apparel plant in Peenya for Tommy Hilfiger.
