Rohit Bal To Open 40 ‘Balance’ Stores In Next Two Years

Designer Rohit Bal, plans to open around 40 stores of his label Balance in the next two years. After the successful launch of his standalone stores in Pune and Hyderabad, the master couturier opened his flagship store in Mehrauli in the capital, which looks like a quaint haveli.

He has joined hands with Mohnish Kabir Malhotra for the store that offers a range of casual to occasion wear. The store will also feature an extensive range of Rohit Bal accessories - sunglasses, ties, pocket squares, perfumes, wallets and leather bags for the first time.

"We already have two stores. One is our dedicated couture store in Defence Colony, and second is in Emporio. We are opening a third menswear store in Defence Colony. There is a huge demand for ready-to-wear pieces because usually an order takes a month to complete and to match this growing demand for off-the-shelf products, we decided to open this store in Delhi," he said.

"When I heard about the expansion plan and that the talks were on about franchising the Balance label to other cities, I candidly asked Rohit 'How about I take the franchise for the Delhi store?' and he immediately said yes. Here we are now, few months down the line: the store is ready. We are hoping to open many more stores in India," said Malhotra.
