September 20, 1991. The companys name was later changed to Pantaloons Fashion Limited
vide certificate of incorporation dated on September 25, 1991. The company was engaged in

Weavers Co-operative Society and National Institute of Fashion Technology. In 2002, the
company came up with a range of movie specific merchandise such as notebooks, folders,
pens, mouse-pads etc. Pantaloons in 2003, acquired the trademark and exclusive licensing
rights for apparel brand Norules in India, from US-based Norules Inc. The same year it also
forged an alliance with the ICICI Lombard to offer one year free insurance cover to
customers acquiring gold from the Gold Bazaar. It also teamed up with Italian apparel
behemoth Moda & Musica, to market its casual sportswear brand UMM in the domestic
market. The company in 2004 entered into strategic alliance with Arvind Brands Ltd. for Ruf

India 2010 Finalist unveiled the Pantaloons Femina Miss India 2010 Collection. Pantaloons
launched its Green Card Loyalty Programme in Bengaluru. In 2013, Pantaloons got acquired
by the Aditya Birla Group. Pantaloons is an aggressive player in the retail space, with a
presence across multiple formats. The ability to repeat its strong performance across newer
formats would determine its future growth. The first Pantaloons store was opened in Gariahat
in 1997. Over the years, it has undergone several transitions. When it was first launched, this
store mostly sold external brands. Initially positioned as a family store, it finally veered
towards becoming a fashion store with an emphasis on 'youth' and clear focus on fresh
fashion. Today, the fashion store extends to almost all the major cities across the country.
Pantaloons has established its presence with stores not just in the metros, but also in smaller
towns. Pantaloons stores have a wide variety of categories like casualwear, ethnic wear,
formal wear, party wear and sportswear for Men, Women and Kids. Pantaloons operates over
7 million square feet of retail space, has over 1000 outlets (including shop-in-shops) across
53 cities in India and employs over 25,000 people.

STORE FORMAT
From a humble beginning in 1987, Pantaloons has today evolved as a leading manufacturerretailer in the country with 13 departmental stores and 5 hypermarkets operating across the
country. It has been a remarkable journey for PRIL as it evolved from a manufacturing to a
completely integrated player controlling the entire value chain. It has been a pioneer in
introducing the concept of Mega Retail Stores in India called 'Pantaloons' for the entire
family. It has diversified, and has come up with its new concept with Big Bazaar and Food
Bazaar. In an extremely price-sensitive market like India, the Pantaloons chain of stores has
been successful in maintaining the equilibrium between quality and price. The company has
aggressive growth plans to achieve scale of economy and take leadership position in this
evolving industry. PRIL's ability to evolve from smaller format into large format retail stores
is well proven. With aggressive growth plans the company has identified many locations
across the company to roll out stores in the future. With a chain of 75 fashion stores across 38
cities and towns, Pantaloons is constantly extending its foot-prints into the rest of modern
India.

COMPETITORS
Pantaloons Retail faces huge competition from Shopper Stop, Lifestyle and Westside. Being a
premium department store it caters to the need of customers with higher purchasing power
and thrives to achieve its targets by competing with other well settled retailers like Shopper
Stop, Lifestyle and Westside, all of them being department stores in the major cities of India.
Pantaloons offers a wide range of goods in different product categories. They sell clothing,
footwear, beauty and cosmetics, accessories. They have also come up with the concept of
Food Bazaar, which for now adds to its advantage as its competitors are lagging way behind.

BRAND HISTORY
BYFORD:
The international brand Byford has its roots in Leicester, England. In 1914, Donald Byford
began his training in the heart of the British hosiery industry. DB in 1919, began his own
business. With a bit of capital, he bought an eight-roomed building in Bedford Street and laid
the foundations of an enterprise which is today famous all over the globe. Despite the
recession of the early 1920s, his business flourished almost immediately and by 1922 all the
eight rooms were operating to full capacity. Five years of solid growth led DB to purchase a
tract of land outside the then Leicester, at the crossroads of Blackbird Road and Abbey Lane
in 1924. Blackbird Mills came the companys first ever logo. With victory in Europe and the
Pacific, DB was again able to unleash on the market with his designs, most notably the
BYFORD 98 in 1948. This All-Wool, Shrink-Resistant, Hand-Finished socks, took the US
market by storm, gaining the title 98 in consequence of a store buyer remarking. The
BYFLEX line in Wool-and-Nylon was introduced to deliver greater flexibility for the retailer
and speed in production in 1951. The desire to innovate now extended beyond socks alone so
as to capitalise on the companys knowledge of the menswear trade and its expertise in fine
knitted goods by 1954. The Maltby plant was also re-engineered to produce high-quality
sweaters during the same period. In 1959, Byford linked up with Aquascutum, Chester
Barrie, Church Shoes and DAKS to launch the British Menswear Guild of Premium
Exporters, formed to promote the creativity and quality of British goods around the world. By
1974, Byford Man was born. A top-to-toe expression of the brands style and quality was seen
and the brand was successfully introduced in hundreds of department stores. Initially in
Singapore and Malaysian, in the early 1980s, the brand was licenced to leading international
5

partners well-placed to tailor it to the increasing standards of a global market-place, and the
brand extended its reach across the globe. Throughout the 1990s, Byford extended its
footprints across the Middle East and Asia, pioneering the way forward for British brands in
China. Byford opened its first Menswear and Accessories store in 2012 at 77 New Bond
Street, London. A new design concept was introduced to reflect the brands DNA and project
the brands image. The Byford tradition in quality Menswear has now been extended to
embrace a full range of clothing and accessories. Today, the brand has more than 1,500 sales
points across the world with premium department stores and high-quality independents
forming the backbone to this. Under the leadership of its international management team and
through collaboration with new business partners, they will leverage their powerful brand
equity to further enhance their global presence and reach.

VAN HEUSEN:
Van Heusen is a premium lifestyle brand for men, women and youth. The brand embodies
fashion for the corporate and reflects the current expression of elegance in today's context.
Van Heusen believes that the design drivers for the brand are fashion and sophistication. The
brand covers all aspects of an individual's clothing needs, be it corporate wear, casual wear,
party wear or ceremonial wear, making it a complete lifestyle brand in the truest sense. The
core audience is professionals and corporate executives - men and women who are
successful, focused and articulate and have a sense of style about them. They pursue success
just as they do their other interests and passions, learning and exploring everything that
comes their way. The history of Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH) can be traced back in part to
Dramin Jones, a Prussian immigrant who founded D. Jones & Sons, which became the largest
shirt maker in the United States by the 1880s. Separately, in 1881, Moses Phillips and his
wife Endel began sewing shirts by hand and selling them from pushcarts to local Pottsville,
Pennsylvania, anthracite coal miners. This grew into a shirt business in New York City that
placed one of the first ever shirt advertisements in the Saturday Evening Post. Jones merged
with Phillips after Dramin Jones's death in 1903. Later Isaac Phillips met John Van Heusen,
resulting in both their most popular line of shirts (Van Heusen) and the subsequent renaming
of the corporation to Phillips-Van Heusen in the 1950s. PVH Corp. has grown exponentially
from its 1881 roots to become a global company with over $8 billion in estimated 2013
revenues through a combination of strategic acquisitions and by successfully growing our
brands globally across the wholesale, retail, e-commerce and licensing channels throughout
North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Over the last decade, PVH has made several
acquisitions that have redefined the identity, performance and long-term growth potential of
the Company first with the acquisition of Calvin Klein in 2003, then with the addition of
Tommy Hilfiger in 2010, and most recently with the February 2013 acquisition of The
Warnaco Group, Inc. Through these transformative acquisitions, PVH has secured its position
as one of the largest branded lifestyle apparel companies in the world, with a diversified
portfolio of iconic lifestyle apparel brands, led by Van Heusen, Calvin Klein and Tommy
Hilfiger.
JM SPORTS:

JM Sport is a leading T-shirt brand for men. The collection represents an aristocratic lineage
visible in the T-shirts that are vividly rendered in stripes. Every T-shirts makes for an
attractive casual day or evening wear when paired with denims and chinos.

LEVIS:
But Levi Strauss & Co. made the first blue jean in 1873. And we draw upon our heritage to
continually reinvent the blue jean for generations after generations. Levi Strauss & Co. has a
unique history and an amazing heritage, but it involves much more than just faded denims.
Levi Strauss, the inventor of the quintessential American garment, was born in Buttenheim,
Bavaria on February 26, 1829 to Hirsch Strauss and his second wife, Rebecca Haas Strauss;
Levi had three older brothers and three older sisters. Two years after his father succumbed to
tuberculosis in 1846, Levi and his sisters immigrated to New York, where they were met by
his two older brothers who owned a NYC-based wholesale dry goods business called J.
Strauss Brother & Co. Levi soon began to learn the trade himself. When the news of the
California Gold Rush made its way east, Levi journeyed to San Francisco in 1853. He
established a wholesale dry goods business under his own name and served as the West Coast
representative of the familys New York firm. Levi eventually renamed his company Levi
Strauss & Co.
Around 1872, Levi received a letter from one of his customers, Jacob Davis, a Reno, Nevada
tailor. In his letter, Davis disclosed the unique way he made pants for his customers, through
the use of rivets at points of strain to make them last longer. Davis wanted to patent this new
idea, but needed a business partner to get the idea off the ground. Levi was enthusiastic about
the idea. The patent was granted to Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss & Company on May 20,
1873 and blue jeans were born. Levi carried on other business pursuits during his career, as
well. He became a charter member and treasurer of the San Francisco Board of Trade in
1877. He was a director of the Nevada Bank, the Liverpool, London and Globe Insurance
Company and the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company. In 1875, Levi and two associates
purchased the Mission and Pacific Woolen Mills. He was also one of the citys greatest
philanthropists. Levi was a contributor to the Pacific Hebrew Orphan Asylum and Home, the
Eureka Benevolent Society and the Hebrew Board of Relief. In 1897 Levi provided the funds
for twenty-eight scholarships at the University of California, Berkeley, all of which are still in
8

place today. At the end of the 19th century, Levi was still involved in the day-to-day workings
of the company. In 1890, the year that marked XX waist overall was given the lot number
501. This style code is the worlds largest selling style of Levis denims.

LEE COOPER:
Lee Cooper Brand is a British clothing company, operating worldwide, that licenses the sale
of many Lee Cooper-branded items, including denim jeans. The head office is located in
London, United Kingdom. The company originally produced work wear for export, and
began to specialize in denim jackets and trousers in the 1930s. In 2013, Iconix Brand Group
acquired Lee Cooper from Sun Capital Partners. The brand that eventually became Lee
Cooper was established in 1908 by Morris Cooper and a friend, Louis Maister, after they
arrived in London from their hometown in Lithuania, having previously spent some time in
South Africa. Operating under the name M.Cooper Ltd., from premises on Middlesex Street
in London's East End, they began production of work wear, having identified a market for it
in South Africa.

During the years of the First World War, M.Cooper, which by then

employed over 600 people, halted production of work wear and began making uniforms, kit
bags and rucksacks for the British Army. In 1937, a new factory dedicated to the manufacture
of denim was opened in Stratford, with the business reporting a profit of 1,000 by year end.
The outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 led Morris Cooper to split the business into
two: one arm continued making work wear, while the other concentrated on producing
military uniforms, battle fatigues and flight overalls. M.Cooper eventually became one of the
armed forces' biggest suppliers. Morris Cooper died in 1940 and his son, Harold Cooper, took
over the business upon his return from active service in the RAF. He set about modernizing
the company and building on its wartime success, switching focus to casual wear and denim
production, and taking advantage of the introduction of clothes rationing to increase
competitiveness. As part of a re-branding strategy, the company was rechristened, with
Harold adding a version of his wife's family name, Leigh, to his own to create Lee Cooper.
Lee Cooper jeans were adopted by the youth counterculture of the 1950s and 1960s and
Harold capitalized on this association by sponsoring a Rolling Stones tour and working with
Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. The company caused a degree of moral outrage in 1953
by introducing the zip-front to women's jeans and commissioned a series of bold publicity
campaigns, some of them incorporating fictitious designers such as the Italian Alfredo
9

Angelous in order to appeal to subcultures such as the Mods, who favored continental style.
The late 1970s saw expansion of production, with the company opening factories in Ireland,
France and Tunisia, and by the mid-1980s these facilities were producing between 40,000 and
45,000 garments per week. During this time, annual turnover grew to more than 100 million.
Lee Cooper was also one of the main pitch side sponsors at the 1984 European
Championships in France. In 1989, the Cooper family sold their majority stake in the
business, and since then Lee Cooper has become a 'lifestyle' brand, operating in more than
seventy markets across the world. In 2008, the company celebrated its centenary.
