Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) has unveiled its first H&M Home store in South India, marking a significant expansion two years after the Swedish fashion powerhouse introduced its homeware collection in India, starting with New Delhi.
According to a post by an industry official on social media, the store is situated at Phoenix Mall of Asia in Yelahanka, Bengaluru. Additionally, the world’s second-largest fashion brand has launched a spacious H&M store within the same mall, which already hosts Victoria’s Secret, Mango, and French Connection. With the inauguration of its newest outlet at Phoenix Mall of Asia, H&M has increased its total store count in Bengaluru to eight.
“We are thrilled to share the launch of the first H&M Home in Bengaluru. H&M and H&M Home is now open at Phoenix Mall of Asia,” said Tanul Bheda, general manager of leasing at Phoenix Mall of Asia in a LinkedIn post.
The Swedish fashion brand H&M was founded by Erling Persson in 1947.
