Speciality retailing takes on many forms

Dubai:

The local marketplace is seeing a steady trickle of entrants offering up their credentials in speciality services.

* Amodoria

Expanding its product range beyond gold-coated iPhones or iPads will help the company’s future revenue stream. It expects to report a quarterly profit by the middle of next year. “Since we incorporated the company in December 2012, we spent the bulk of the year capitalizing the company by developing the brand, establishing our head office, building the team, designing the product range and securing our distribution strategy,” said Dadkarim Mulla. “These costs can only be recovered over three quarters of healthy sales given the festive shopping period that is about to start in this region.”

* VS Fashions

Want bespoke tailoring measured and delivered to your doorstep? Call in the good people at VS Fashions.

The company has a full-time relationship manager armed with catalogues to do the rounds for orders. He will take the measurements or can copy an outfit measurement and style for the database. The actual stitching takes place in Hong Kong and deliveries made in three to four weeks.

* Sukhani Philately

Dealers in rare stamps, the family-owned business has just opened an office in Dubai, and its first venture out side of the Subcontinent.
