They noticed that most travel jackets in the market were highly overpriced, they mainly emphasized on style and had limited features. So, in order to provide the travel lovers with an economic and multi utility travel jacket, they came up with VERSATYL. They launched it on 20th November 2016 and is available in the general market for only 3500 INR and at crowd funding platform, fuelAdream.com, it is available for 1999 INR. It can also be pre-ordered at versatylwear.com. The reason behind it being economic is because they have their own manufacturing unit in Bangalore and this is their area of Expertise. For now it is available in 4 colors.
Even when they started their 1st campaign on fuelAdream.com with very little marketing on whatsapp and facebook, they were surprised to find that over 100 jackets were pre-ordered in just 2 days and over 500 jackets were booked in 15 days. And so in a span of 45 days, over 1000 pieces were ordered. And so far they have received amazing feedback from the customers.
After looking at the 1st campaign results they are excited about the 2nd campaign which starts on 1st February. VERSATYL has now become India’s most crowd funded jacket and this time, they will be introducing more color variants. They will also be coming up with new designs of Multi-Utility Jackets with multiple pockets and features and in six months, they plan to make VERSATYL a global brand.
