Yes, Carlton London actually is an Indian brand owned by Carlton Retail Private Limited from Gurugram, India. Though many of you may confuse it with the Carlton brand, which of course is a British brand, but we’re talking about a different one here, the one that started out back in 1992. This brand is into all sorts of things like footwear, handbags, accessories, fragrances, furniture, clothing, and whatnot. Let’s talk about it a little more.

Current Market Position
In any case, Carlton London is largely an online brand. You search for their items on their own website or any of the big portals like Myntra, Amazon, or Nykaa. But do not worry; while their operations are (at least mostly) online, they are working on setting up actual physical stores in major cities sometime soon. Hence, one day you might be able to step into a Carlton London store. They compete among the other fashion ecommerce companies in India, and thankfully, they have kept their prices nice and affordable so that one can choose a stylish outfit without burning a hole in his/her pocket.
Product Range
Carlton London sells everything one can imagine, just so there is something for each individual. The shoes are a big hit; men and women can choose among boots, heels, and flats. Looking for a trendy bag? They offer handbags, including the very popular Gold Quilted Shoulder Bag. Sunglasses, jewelry, and watches with clean and simple dials are also things that they sell. Now the home offerings are there to mix things up as well, such as cushions and stationery. Less fashion, more interior, in other words!
Future Outlook
If one is wondering where Carlton London is headed, some good plans are in store for it. The plan is to open new stores at Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Gurugram this year. They launch products in two seasons, spring-summer and autumn-winter, with a completely new look for each season. Home furnishings were launched recently on Flipkart, so beyond apparel and accessories, they are venturing into it now. Since it is self-funded, they grow by their own means, which is cool.
