Recently, Raymond, the flagship brand from India s leading textile & apparel major Raymond Ltd. took the craftsmanship of garment making and customer convenience to new echelons through Raymond premium Apparel (RPA). Raymond entered into the ready to wear business with the introduction of Park Avenue in 1986, catering to the formal men s wear market. Parx was launched in 1998 to address the growing trend of smart casuals. Both brands have captured major market share in their respective categories due to an inherent advantage of vertical integration and a strong retail presence. In 2000,Raymond identified the vacuum for a high end, casual wear brand and hence decided to acquire ColorPlus as a part of strategic expansion plan for their ready-towear business.
