Cottonworld
Early History
It all began in the year 1987, when the Lekhraj family, with an established garment export-manufacturing unit, had an idea - to use the excess fabric to make quality cotton shirts. The shirts were put on sale and sold almost immediately. This was at a time when cotton clothing was not even considered fashionable. This prompted them to open their first store with just a few garments on display. The response was tremendous. And Cottonworld was born. Expansion
Cottonworld became the first store in India dedicated to natural clothing. Set up in a leafy lane in Colaba, Mumbai, the brand is frequented by loyalists since its inception. The brand has now grown and spread its branches throughout the country with 31 stores across India. Thus shifting from manufacturing to retail. Philosophy
