Trendsetters opens in Durbar Marg

Trendsetters, a new fashion store, on Tuesday started operation from Mayalu Centre in Durbar Marg, Kathmandu. Situated on the second floor of the newly opened Mayalu Centre shopping mall, the store has specialised in female attires from well-known designers of the country.

According to Manish Pandit, managing director of Trendsetters, the store will house products designed by Nepali designers like Bishow Gautam, Astik Serchan, Bina Ghale and Tenzing Bhutia, among others.

The store has also come up with new range of Nepali products — Now Jeans and Dulla Shoes. Besides, the store stocks products like bags and lingerie imported from Bangkok. “We started with a fashion show titled “Trendsetters” where reputed designers showcased their products. With this store, we want to market their creations,” Pandit said.

Dulla shoes available in the store come in the range of Rs 2,500 to Rs 2,990; Now Jeans between Rs 2,400 and Rs 7,000; bags between Rs 1,200 and Rs 4,000; and lingerie in the range of Rs 600 to Rs 2,400.

Despite specialising in designer products, Pandit says the store will price its products reasonably to attract more customers. “People have a misconception that designer wears are expensive. By putting the price on the lower side, we want to change this psychology,” Pandit said.
