R|Elan has carved its niche across apparel segments like activewear, denim and ethnic & western wear, both formals and casuals.
RIL has partnered with more than 30 players equipped to produce new-age fabrics using R|Elan technologies. This strong pan-India network of the Hub Excellence Partners (HEP) will provide assurance to brands/retailers of streamlined production, timelines and standard quality. These partners will also receive assistance for technical, leads and new product development needs.
The R|Elan products will thus provide consumers next generation fabrics that are in line with the latest fashion trends while also fulfilling their lifestyle needs. RIL’s efforts will give consumers the assurance that if there is R|Elan on the outside, there is something special on the inside.
