Clothing accessories is a niche market in India and sales of such products is picking up rapidly as a result of the changing trends in dress codes for corporate as well as individual customers. Products such as belts, ties, cufflinks, gloves, hats, caps and scarves can be clubbed under the broad category of clothing accessories. The average Indian consumer has become much more fashion conscious than before and likes to wear his or her clothes with flawlessly coordinated accessories, and this has led to its strong growth curve. The rise in income levels and a general shift in style aimed at looking good have together contributed to the increasing sales of clothing accessories. At the same time, the clothing accessories market is largely dominated by unorganised players and people have a tendency of purchasing unbranded accessories from small shops and wayside establishments. However, a number of organised retail chains are slowly entering the clothing accessories market and consumers are also displaying a shift towards branded accessories, particularly in metro cities.
