Indian leather goods brand plans domestic expansion
Indian leather goods exporter Gaitonde is planning to push its own domestic brand through a joint venture with clothes retailer Color Plus. The two firms are to take on retail space together and start a new chain of shops, selling each other's brands under one roof. Gaitonde already has 6 exclusive stores in India, but is choosing to expand through co-operation with Color Plus, and would also consider bringing in another compatible brand in the future.
