LAUNCH PAD WHAT’S IN STORE? Apparel gives you a sneak peek into the new store that has been recently launched. SAMSHÉK, PUNE Samiksha Bajaj, co-founder of Samshék, recently hosted an evening for the grand launch of the Samshék store. Samshék is a tech-based fashion brand that combines fashion with digital experiences. In an era where ‘size matters’, the brand offers customised clothing that is suited to every body shape and personal style. Being a tech-based fashion house, Samshék offers custom-made Western outfits such as corporate shirts, dresses, tops, and jumpsuits. Measurements are taken by a 3D body-scanner that extracts 150 measurements in five seconds. One can even design their clothes virtually using the scanner. Samshék brings the best of both ready-to- wear fashion and digital customisation. While fashion retail stores offer readymade clothing in standard sizing (XS-XXL), Samshék realises that not all bodies fit into this range, hence its range goes from XS, all the way to 9X; there is also ample room for customisation, which customers can carry out online or at the store at no extra cost. The brand is working towards a zero-waste model—its digital inventory and industrial waste are minimum. Store Address: G 4B, Ground Floor, Seasons Mall, Pune 411028 Timing: 11 AM to 9 PM 132 I APPAREL I February 2020
