Authentic Brands Group, LLC. (ABG), a global brand development and licensing company, announces an exclusive agreement with Reliance Brands Limited (Reliance), a part of Reliance Industries Group to bring casual luxury lifestyle brand, Juicy Couture to India in Fall 2015.
"This is an exciting milestone for Juicy Couture as India represents a new and emerging fashion market for the brand," says Jamie Salter, chairman and CEO of Authentic Brands Group. "Reliance Brands has exceptional operational and market knowledge and our partnership with them will allow us to drive a comprehensive, multi-dimensional strategy to bring Juicy Couture to new international markets."

Juicy Couture is internationally recognized by consumers for its unique, LA-inspired style and will compliment Reliance's existing stable of brands.
The partnership is looking to launch 20 Juicy Couture mono brand stores in India during the first five year phase, starting in Fall 2015. Through this strategic partnership, Reliance will offer the full Juicy Couture lifestyle collection, which includes apparel in the categories of women's and girl's, handbags, footwear, intimates, swimwear, fragrance, accessories and jewelry.
In addition to Juicy Couture brick and mortar locations, Indian fashion lovers will be able to immerse themselves in the LA heritage and attitude of the brand at JuicyCouture.com, the cultural hub for all that is Juicy.
"Juicy Couture is strong and thriving globally and we are excited to hit the ground running with the support of Reliance's highly capable team," says Nick Woodhouse, president and CMO of Authentic Brands Group. "Together, we are committed to building upon Juicy Couture's powerful, contemporary roots and bringing the rich LA heritage of the brand to Indian consumers."
