Who owns Trendyol, how it reaches India, what it costs against MRP and who answers when a garment fails: DSM Grup of Istanbul, an Alibaba entity, declared answerable on every Indian record read.

The Souled Store sells other people’s characters on cotton. Five licences are documented by name and date, the company claims over 150, and not one published source gives a term or an expiry. On Myntra it charged 90.1 per cent of MRP on 11 September 2026 at a median of ₹1,799.

Rare Rabbit is the dearest D2C menswear name read in India on 11 September 2026, at a median ₹1,999 charged on Myntra. It is also the thinnest on fabric: one percentage fibre composition across forty marketplace records, no fabric weight anywhere, and blends on its own site described only as a “blend”.

Blackberrys is still held by the Mohan family, with no private-equity or institutional investor anywhere on the record. Its own shop charges 95.6% of the struck price against 86.0% of MRP on Myntra, and it publishes no fabric weight at all.

XYXX charges 72.4% of the struck price on its own store against 79.4% of MRP on Myntra, read 11 September 2026 — the only brand on this shelf cheaper at home. It is also the first clothing brand read here to publish a fabric weight, on 21 of 1,126 product descriptions.

DaMENSCH declared one manufacturer on all 40 Myntra records read on 11 September 2026 — the tightest declaration of any Indian D2C menswear brand read here. Against that, the anti-bacterial claim in its product titles has no published test, standard or certifying body. Ownership, prices and the FY25 numbers, checked.

An Aditya Birla subsidiary held 99.03% of Bewakoof as at 8 June 2026, up from 81.77% completed on 15 February 2023. What that means for the price, the label and the fabric.

Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands runs Van Heusen in India, yet every Van Heusen clothing mark on the Indian register stands in the name of ABG Izod LLC of New York. What the filings show, what the label says, and why 261 of 297 listings sat below MRP on one day.

Park Avenue clothing belongs to Raymond Lifestyle Limited, not to the listed Raymond Limited, and not to the company that bought the name for deodorant. What 3,509 listings actually cost against MRP on 6 September 2026, and what the labels declare.

Louis Philippe’s name came from Taunton, Somerset, and the Aditya Birla group bought the mark outright with effect from 16 February 2000. On 6 September 2026, 73 of 74 listings sold below MRP — and the brand’s own store was the dearest of the three places to buy the same shirt.

Who owns Allen Solly, how the name reached India, what the label declares, and what 142 listings actually sold for against MRP on 6 September 2026.

Raymond clothing belongs to Raymond Lifestyle Limited — not the listed Raymond Limited, which is now an engineering company. Ownership from the filings, what the label declares, and 88 Indian prices checked on 6 September 2026.

Arvind Fashions sells U.S. Polo Assn. under licence and its 2020 filing says so, but names no licensor. On one day in September, 195 of 224 listings sold below MRP and the brand’s own shop was the dearest of the three channels.
