CORD, a homegrown fashion brand has opened its stand-alone store in Hyderabad. Tucked in the quiet lanes of Banjara Hills, the ambiance of the new flagship store is an eclectic mix of art deco styles with its antiques and lamps mixed with modern elements, just like the brand is known for mixing ancient know-how of traditional dressmaking and giving it a modern interpretation. The space is a reflection of the brand's inspiration and journey translated into the clothes and decor.
On the occasion, the co-founders Neha Singh and Pranav Guglani shared "Neha grew up in Hyderabad and finds her roots here and holds an emotional value for her. Pranav has found a home for himself in me (Neha) and my family too. The amount of well wishes and love from here is beyond. We have found our tribe in Hyderabad and have been waiting for the right time to mark our presence.”
