Kolkata: Spanish luxury brand LLadro will start selling its products on-line in the country from October this year.
"LLadro plans to start on-line sales in India through its own platform LLadro.Com. This is already at an advanced stage of designing and we are trying to start from this October," CEO of Spa Lifestyle Nikhil Lamba said.
Spa Lifestyle is a JV between Spa Agencies and LLadro.
Lamba said that LLadro, a manufacturer of handcrafted porcelain-based gifting items like sculptures and lighting products, have been selling its products through eight boutiques in the country owned by Spa Lifestyle.
These products, which range from Rs 4000 to more than Rs one crore, are directly shipped from the company's factory at Valencia in Spain.
"LLadro's products are gaining acceptance in the Indian market. To strike a chord with the Indian customers further, LLadro has started manufacturing Hindu gods and goddesses like Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, Saraswati, Lakshmi, Lord Rama, Sita, Hanuman and others", he said.
LLadro's started sales in India since 2006 through the JV which owns the boutiques in high-end malls.
Besides porcelain sculptures, LLadro also manufactures home fragrances.
Painter Rosa Pomares, engaged with the LLadro decorative team, says that the paints used are mineral based and created in a separate laboratory of the company.
