Skin is in



Skins ongoing sale at the Imperial Business Centre, M.G Road

AT SKINS ongoing sale at Imperial Business Centre on M.G Road, there is a huge volume of clothes to cover your skin with. For all sizes and shapes! Gearing up for the forthcoming Onam season, for which everyone saves, Skins has a very large range of knitwear, a fabric that has gained immense popularity in recent times. So if you are looking for cool and comfy dressing, for trendy and teasing clothes you have it here. And the fear everyone has when buying at a sale is that you will find another wearing the same clothes. Here, eschew that thought. There are new ranges on the rack, every second day and the turnover of designs and prints, of colours and cuts, of lengths and breadths changes frequently so it is highly improbable that you will find another wearing the same clothes.

Ask Asha Bonney, proprietor of Skins who has brought the sale on a huge scale this season, " There are clothes for ages from 0 to 100 years," and one finds a sweeping range from XS (extra small) to XXL (extra large), for the `leanies' and the fatsos, for the babies and the babas, for girls and boys, for mummies and daddies, for grannies and grandpas. There is something for everyone and for every pocket. Yes, the 40 per cent rebate on the clothes draw crowds. Kidswear from Rs. 60 onwards to Rs.300 for Tees and track pants, is the maximum dent on the pocket.

Cute Kidswear

The range in kidswear is a delight as well designed and printed little sets, pinafores, dungarees, pedal pushers, Tee-shirts, smocked tees, nighties, pyjama suits, cargo pants in lovely prints and colours make the cute ensemble. Sport lovers can pick up useful casual sportswear and the inside - outside boxer shorts are there in plenty at a fantastic steal of Rs.90. For ladies, nighties in checks and in bias cut are different from the usual regular nighties available. Also the Magyar cut sleeves on tee shirts and tees with separate yoke fronts are new patterns to try out. They come in a price range of Rs.120 to Rs.170.

Skins, a Tirupur based company into manufacture of garments and its export began their Indian store when an Italian importer planned to sell their product back in India. Thus was born the first Skin outlet at Coimbatore and the second at Kochi. Says Mr. Rajah, In charge of production for sales, categorically, " These are not export rejects or seconds but produced for the sales which we have all over the metro cities before the festive season begins." "Knitwear," he stresses, "is comfortable and very absorbent, unlike woven cotton. Some have Lycra mix; some are knitwear with woven cottons but the fact of the matter is that the range on sale is comfortable, cool and moderately priced." For this sale alone 26,000 pieces of prêt are on the shelves and moving off them fast.

The sale is on till August 15.
