Mumbai; September, 2020: - Peter England, a leading international menswear brand from the
house of Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited, launched an innovative range of apparel called
as the Neem Tulsi Collection as part of their wellness fashion initiative. The brand has launched
this collection with a comprehensive ad campaign that pays homage to the legacy of ancient
Indian herbs and showcases the new collection which is infused with the goodness of these
wonder herbs, Neem and Tulsi.
Under this Collection, Peter England will be launching Shirts, Masks, Jeans, Bermudas, Kurtas
and Pyjamas which are powered with a patented technology called “Enliven“. This is a unique
mixture of 100% Herbal Neem, Tulsi and other healing herbs, to add comprehensive hygiene
functions like anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and tested to provide defense against Ultraviolet rays
for minimum UPF20.
Developed and perfected with years of R&D in technical collaboration with IIT Delhi, Enliven is a
patented technology from Advantage Nature (A unit of ATPL)- Advantage Organic Naturals
Technologies Pvt. Ltd, which is a start-up company incubated at Technology Business
Incubation Unit of IIT Delhi. This groundbreaking technology in fabrics is tested as per AATCC
100-2012 and AATCC183 testing standards for the stated properties that can last up to 20
gentle washes.
With a history of creating innovative products, Peter England started the journey of Wellness
Fashion about two years ago. Produced in a factory located in a small village in Himachal
Pradesh, the making of these apparels involves ancient ways of extracting benefits from herbs,
combined with new-age nano-biotechnology, to provide nature’s best in a sustainable way. The
Shirt fabric particularly is developed under the Home-Made-Cotton Initiative through energy
efficient small scale units where the cotton is directly procured from our farmers avoiding
middlemen. And hence, these labours of love is just not an ode to our farmers but also a tribute
to our rich Vedic heritage.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Manish Singhai, COO, Peter England said, “Peter England has
always brought numerous innovative products and we are thrilled to launch our Neem Tulsi
Collection, which is the need of the hour. With this range, we aim to incorporate Indian ancient
Vedic heritage and set a new benchmark in sustainable and wellness fashion. As a brand that
caters to the evolving consumer sensibilities, this collection comes as a breakthrough in the
today’s fashion category.”
Speaking about the launch, Mr. Rajiv Rai Sachdev, CMD – Advantage Nature (a unit of ATPL)
said, “We feel proud to be associated with a responsible brand like Peter England from
esteemed Aditya Birla Group and we being a techno-startup company wanted to associate with
a brand which has likeminded vision and mindset to promote sustainability and Circular
Economy in Textiles on National & International level. ENLIVEN is truly the most sustainable,
safe and 100% Herbal product. Fabric treated with Enliven has been tested for having excellent
Anti-bacterial, Anti-fungal, Anti-odor, UV Resistant and Mosquito Repellent properties.
Moreover, it also negates the toxic effect of chemical dyes on our skin; hence this is the most
viable product to safeguard its users in the current scenario.”
The Campaign communication is developed in creative collaboration with DDB Mudra,
Bangalore. Speaking on the campaign, Vishnu Srivastav, Regional creative head - Advertising
and Digital, DDB Mudra, Bangalore said, “Neem and Tulsi, which have been growing in our own
backyards, have been revered by the Indian populace for generations together. To infuse the
goodness of it in the fabric, is nothing short of a breakthrough in fashion innovation. We at DDB
Mudra share the same passion for creating a meaningful intervention in consumers' lives. This
one was challenging with Peter England’s international legacy and a product that is truly
inspired from India’s heritage. We are extremely excited to partner with Peter England in
presenting this one-of-a-kind innovation to the world.”
Peter England has launched a high decibel digital campaign on various innovative and impactful
platforms to promote this innovative collection.
