The store was started on 22nd September 2001 and according to Rajesh
of the Elite Store, "the response has been overwhelming.
People have liked the concept of a showroom for these kind of things.
There are a lot of people here who have the knowledge and taste
for our products".
 Since
90% of the showrooms in Chennai are clothing stores, the Company
is upbeat about the potential in Chennai. Elite is one of its kind
not only in Chennai, but also in the whole of South India. Inspite
of the fact that all the products are imported, the store has a
wide range which can be afforded by all who have an interest in
objects of art. Another important aspect is the central location
of the showroom.
The store has its headquarters in Mumbai and its other branches
are in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkatta, Goa and New Delhi. They are
dealing with 16 international brands to meet their needs and hope
to extend further in future. The store has exclusive distribution
rights for all the 16 brands in India. Apart from the exclusive
distribution rights, the Company is also very satisfied by the support
and assistance provided by the companies they are dealing with.
It is illustrated by the fact that Dupont gives them a life time
guarantee for all its products.
