Van Heusen

If someone asked you where the closest Madura Garments store was, chances are that four out of three times you wouldn't know what he was talking about. And you could be excused for it. Just another case of the brands overgrowing the parent company I should say. For instance, one intelligent friend of mine goes around telling everyone he owns a Ferrari. Everything would have been hunky-dory except for the fact that all he does own is a Fiat. On the other hand, he does drive it like Schumacher drives his Ferrari, so maybe he isn't actually in the wrong.

Van Heusen is a premium brand of Madura Garments that has a distinctive identity of its own. Designed exclusively for men, it has everything from trousers, shirts and T-shirts to suits and blazers. The shop itself is bright and spacious, with well-lit interiors and neatly arranged clothes. The assistants are exceedingly helpful and non-intrusive at the same time. You can immerse yourself in the shopping experience without any qualms.

The prices too wouldn't augment your heart condition. For anything between Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 3,000, you can get some truly chic attire. Even their bright semi-formals have an understated elegance about them. Van Heusen remains one of the very few formal clothing stores in the whole Somajiguda area, what with Amrutha Mall dedicating itself to the teeny-bopper crowd and their Jeans. A good place to shop if formals are your thing.
