Peter England's Honest Moves !
After years of play in the value segment the "Honest" shirt ie Peter England ,as a brand has established itself as a market leader in the Rs 400-800 price point shirt segment , the brand today does an annual business of 200 crores , as most strong brands Peter England has also seen a change in its market play , sometime towards last year they launched Peter England Elite which was meant to fit into the 800 - 1200 segment of pricing that the brand claimed was left unaddressed in the market ,as the next level was at , the premium segment which started at the Rs 1900 plus price point being catered too by the Louis Philphe ,Van Heusen and say Arrow .

rand (Peter england ) is still very strongly associated with Mens segment . So what is the thought behind Peter England People , well the play would be a series of speciality stores set up across the country they have around 5 such stores which would retail only Peter england merchandise , for mens ,women , kids , of course the core piece in this play would be value pricing .

The Honest Shirt brand surely has a huge relevance in a market like India ,watch this blog space for more updates !
